Re: The God of Spinoza

OK I admit my ignorance. I know nothing about Spinoza. The wikipedia entry looks interesting. Amazon has various editions of a translation that goes back to beginning of last century. Anybody recommend a commentary that might be more recent and in a good public library? What is in Amazon is pricey. ...

Maj Gen'l Sir, you are beating a very dead horse. The poor being (I am not sure Liberty IS a man) is unable to read basic English with any degree of understanding.

16 Apr is National Bean Counter Day

In honor of this momentous occasion, I am reminded of a basic question: Why does the perfect bowl of bean soup contain 239 beans?










Because if it had one more, it would be two forty.

Hay wait a minute. Did I just commit blasphemy? Is this a sub-category of social media?
