Goofus, it's pretty obvious that you don't have any idea of what philosophy is all about. I could try to educate you, but since you don't understand even simple abstract concepts, it's obvious that the more complex conceptual principles one finds in philosophical study would be totally beyond your comprehension. You're like one of the denizens of Plato's Cave, staring uncomprehendingly at shadows on the wall.

Your insults don't reach me because I realize that you don't understand a word I'm saying (even though it's clearly and succinctly put, and grammatically correct, as befits a person with a well-organized mind), and your yipping and snarling means not more to me than the incessant yapping of my neighbor's Yorkshire terrier, who often barks at his own shadow.

But—thank you for posting the link to Bernie Sanders' voting record. I've read that in detail, and I've also read several other articles about his political career and accomplishments, and although I have not yet made up my mind as to who I will support in the 2016 elections, I am giving him serious consideration.

So, once again, thanks to you for the voting record, and thanks to Ebbie for starting this thread.

Goofus, I have a suggestion.   Why don't you go out and chase squirrels? My neighbor's Yorkie barks frantically at squirrels in trees, then tries to scramble up the tree after the squirrels. He often manages to claw his way up several feet of tree trunk before he falls on his keister. Funny as hell, if it weren't so pathetically stupid.

Or you could just lay on the front lawn and pant.
