Socrates did say at his trial that he had evidence that would put Hillary Clinton behind bars. Some things you just don’t say.

No government wants people who can think independently AND also can defend themselves.

That was a great article! Thanks for posting it!

If folks enjoyed reading about Socrates, I recommend looking next into the life of Sir Thomas More. Or you can cut to the chase and learn about his final days in the 1966 Academy Award Best Picture film “A Man for All Seasons.”

Because, as he stated during his trial: I would rather speak after my manners and die than speak in the manners of this court and live.

I’m not dyslexic, just my typing finger is. “Children ask” mean to say.

Why don’t high school and college 101 philosophy classes ever teach Thomas Reid and the Scottish school of common sense, wouldn’t that make sense in traditional America and be better for kids than Nietzsche?
