Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will... The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. ― Frederick Douglass

No American citizen should be willing to accept a government that uses its power against its own people.  -  Catherine Engelbrecht

How long do I have to wait for him to come back before I can declare my writing ontologically superior to his?

You can summon him by saying "ontologically superior" while facing each of the four directions.  That aways works.

Best "Taps" I ever heard. 

Maybe there's a Sartrean "Day of Rest," like our Sundays, and he's taking it off.

"Philosophy" means "Love of Wisdom," and he realizes he actually hates wisdom?

Or maybe this logic got to him:

Bosco1 said, "I have no difficulty writing the ideas I am positing. I am simply making the error of thinking the reader educated enough to follow/comprehend existentialist constructs. I am positing excellently; my readers are merely not toughminded enough to follow."

If you recognize your error and admit of the futility of trying to make us follow or accept your thinking, why do you keep doing it?  Einstein supposedly said, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the the same results."  (Or the equivalent sentiment.)

Are you, therefore, insane, according to Einstein's notion?
  Or does the concept of insanity merely parallel "law" according to your insights?

I can appreciate your missionary zeal.  As Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you a fisher of men." Mat 4:19


I wouldn't mind taking the credit for his departure.   =D

As a "thank you," you can make a donation to your favorite charity in my name. :rofl:

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Well, if he does come back, whoever said his name three times is to blame, not me. ;)
