No problem, my friend....

I understand about too many hounds nipping at your heels,  too many alligators snapping at your ass,  too many irons in the fire,  and too many mouths to feed........

These days,  when people ask me "how are you"  (a socially required question that means basically nothing),  I often answer  "like a one-legged man in a ass-kicking contest",  which usually brings a laugh or chuckle from them,  but I am not kidding.  That is how I feel right now,  with all the personal,  family and business problems I am dealing with.  I am dealing with a lawsuit against a bank which has frozen my 90-year-old mother's accounts,  with no good reason.  So I can very well grant you as long as you need,  to join in the conversation here.  Whenever you can join me,  you are very welcome and appreciated.

I will be writing something in response - just give me a few days! I've got too much  on the plate right now to also deal with philosophy, LOl...

You have done a great job explaining the history of modern philosophy.

Thanks for your comment, Kabu

Pretty much the same thing in happening in Australia and Canada, which share the same basic Western culture and values.  Wherever I wrote America,  just substitute the Western Judeo-Christian country of your choice.....

being an Australian Canadian you lost me because i am not part of your system. i really enjoyed the start of this paper but then I realized that it had nothing more to interest me.
