The great Will Durant wrote this as his preface to his book on ancient Greeks.

"The persistent effort to subordinate fancy to reason is the dominate quality of the Greek mind

Ergo, Greek literature is modern, or rather contemporary, we find it hard to understand Dante or Milton, but Euripides and Thuscydides are kin to us mentally and belong to our age.

This is because though myths may differ, reason remains the same, and the life of reason, makes brothers of its lovers, in all times, and everywhere."

<Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, sport. You know?>

Sure, well, that's obvious.... show me a presidential candidate that hasn't been hypocritical and I'll vote for him... unfortunately the nut bags and FOX news rode him out of town on a rail.... the only one... Ron Paul.

<Or if he was your favored candidate because he shared your personality>

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about hypocrisy.... since he's the least hypocritical candidate in the race I thought you might have interest... my mistake. BUT, try and keep coherent will you?

I should have known you were just blowing smoke out of A$$ with your hypocisy talk... not surprised.
