εἰ μὴ ἄρα δεινὸν καλοῦσιν οὗτοι λέγειν τὸν τἀληθῆ λέγοντα

Thank you, Al Gore and Barack Obama, for demonstrating that rhetoric in the modern political arena is not dead.

Glad to hear this. I had to tape the convention to watch this weekend.

Thanks for the translation. It has been quite a while since I've read Plato. On the good side--though I'm no longer in college, Jenny is, and she has her first philosophy class this semester. Yay. I can't wait to get my hands on the textbooks, and to see what she thinks about it all.

I caught most of the major speeches, I think—Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama. Most of them were worth hearing.

Yay, philosophy!
