Thank you, John.  Finally someone understands what I need to understand 
anything -- illustrations!!!
It occurred to me while watching it that we should compel RP to produce a 
classic comic series explaining what Wittgenstein means by "language games" but 
only through drawings of course; Walter should be made to draw transcendent 
images of Kantian obligations; compel McEvoy to Pop-Art Popper's schemes of 
falsification (hint: start with black swans);  we should saddle Henninge with 
gad-about Gadamer drawings; make Enns meet Rorty in illustrations of Pragmatism 
and religious beliefs; force Palma to explain through graphic signs Heidegger's 
"das Sein" (I'd love to see that!  I'm sure it would be thoroughly obscene).  
Mike Chase has apparently abandoned us forever in favor of the cheap thrills of 
Boul Mich salons, so we'll draw our own Danish-Cartoons-of-Mohammed of him 
sitting with Sartre and sipping sissy French wine while wondering what to do.  
Ursula Stange must be assigned the "Illustrated Guide to Why Philosophy 
Matters"; and finally there's Erin Holder, erstwhile philosoph
 er-in-waiting, she should be forced to reexamine her apostasy by drawing 
pictures of the thoughts of Cioran and Schopenhauer until she remembers that 
her own cynicism is deeper even than the deep blue sea which she has fallen in 
love with.
Better to drown impoverished in snarky cynicism than in salty seawater, say I.

That's what I'd like to see.

I don't know if Bill Ball still roams the halls of Lit-Id.  If he does, he 
should know that he personally is not forgotten -- who could forget a guy in 
coveralls flying a WWII fighter plane?!  But alas, I've forgotten his 
philosophical bent (and, yes, I do consider all philosophers 'bent', else 
they'd be out there fucking their brains out).  If I've left off any of the 
pros on this list, mark it up to my not having any pictures to go by.

I am just now reading the book "Black Swan" and I'm totally fascinated.

It'll be a very sad day for this country, still I'm sure I'll rejoice when I 
see my first Brooks Brother brother selling pencils on a street corner.  I 
might even buy one.  Without any snide comment.
