    In one way or another every continental philosopher has been, whether by embracing his ideas, or by countering them. The English and American empiricists are the ones who haven't been thus influenced to such a great degree.

    And too true by Marx, "A new revolution is possible only in consequence of a new crisis"..............

    That was the mid 19th century. Feel like counting how many times this has come to pass?

    It is, however, just as certain as this crisis

    But how many have been real revolutions? And how many have been reactionary actions?

    In reaction to opportunity?

    The Australians weren't influenced either:

    Appropriately enough, it was a pair of fictional Australian philosophy professors – both called Bruce – who memorably described American beer as being very similar to making love in a canoe. This label has dogged the reputation of American beer for many years, often with good reason.

    Some opportunities arise, some are forced, some are supplanted by outsiders.

    jesus this sounds like year 1 at uni for me. Mind you i managed to avoid Marxism and other crap by going off on my own little way and discovering Edgeworking. Throw yourself off that Edge baby! :>

    Spidge, you are my internet dad. Given the chance Id swap you for my mother any time.

    Kyt, you know I am having your books, an deven if i do propose to the 617/Mossies ones, i shall keep all the others as my mistresses. My Wife will be rather understanding.

    Grrrrrrrrrrr :>(plenty of r's there to meet short message demands!). Hate seeing that. We make an effort to get it right with other air forces so at least make an effort for our system!

    I am tempted to call it the USAF until the day they accept our pronunciations of the Royal Airforce squadron numbers :>
