[MD] Progress in art?

[Ant McWatt]

Platt,

What I'm saying is that the opinions of talk radio DJs whether from the left 
or right have little place in serious philosophy debate.  They do for 
intellectual quality what McDonald's does for nutrition and employment 
rights.

>vice-versa.

That sounds like pluralism to me where truth is relative which again puts 
you outside the MOQ (where various opinions and statements are graded on 
their intellectual quality).  For instance, I highly doubt the intellectual 
quality of the opinions of someone such as Rush Limbaugh is on a par with 
philosophers such as F.S.C. Northrop or even Richard Rorty.

Then again you did promote the merits of Barry "Voice of Satan" Manilow not 
so long ago on this forum... :-)

Best wishes,

Anthony

Well, I guess one man's philosophy is another man's propaganda and 
vice-versa.
Anyway, I see you are joining Arlo in bashing talk-radio. Must be something
scary to you leftists about free speech. Thankfully, talk-radio helped 
defeat
the amnesty immigration bill here in the U.S.
