The oft rehearsed argument that W was influenced by the Polish school of
philosophy (i.e., school of "Logic") dubbed by certain revisionist and
anachronistic Mutton historians as "the Anthropopolish School," led by Andrew
Kawczak and Vladsimir Okshevsky of Loyola College of Montreal, is completely
without foundation. Witters was much more interested in matters Russian than
Polish. Ray Monk documents this quite convincingly. (Two negatives in Russian
remain a negative in the semantic content of the proposition. The reason why W
almost gave up philosophy is attributable to learning that cultural/logical
fact. "Ya nye znayu nyechevo."
"Qwest"? Is that a company on the New York stock exchange? Some Canadians wish
to know. And why does it promote the shovelling of snow by female spouses
instead of having the female Swedish masseuses perform such labours?
