[MD] suspended in language

[Ian Glendinning]

Matt, Marsha, Steve,

I thought Matt was doing fine there .. up to the "hard-boiled contoversy" ...

"It's what lied at the heart of the controversy between Booker T.
Washington and W.E.B. DuBois--those were important times ... "

... at which point it did turn into one of Matt's essays / lectures
;-) (his grammatic style)

But nothwithstanding the preservation of good aspects of philosophical
traditions - Protagoras in this example - there is a point.

When I said "total" I coud just as easily have said "absolute" - I was
just varying the ... errr rhetoric ... to keep my brain cells alive -
the "tapestry" as Matt would have it. The probem is the "hard-boiled
disputes" - polarization of extreme opposites (excluded middles). How
do we get past points of agreement when we agree to neither extreme
ever being intended by anyone ? Neither absolute truth, nor absolute
relativism ?

Keep talking I guess.
Ian
