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

Yes, indeed!

I have to ask. What does the Greek say?

This is curious: my browser knows some of your Greek, but not all of it. You'd think they'd have taught it the whole alphabet, if they were going to teach it any... (Unless it just knows Greek on account of knowing mathematics, and those damn' idle mathematicians don't use the whole alphabet, he speculated...?)

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.

Indeed.
