McDr According to my Webster's Collegiate 10th Ed. , it's "Occam's Razor". Perhaps the Brits spell it differently as they do so many other words. Ciao, Daniel

I will end this little exercise in demonstration of why I eventually took offense at MeDroogies thus:"Once again, rather than sticking to the point, you have tried to demonize me..."

M--- I will make a concession, and that is that I was being sardonic and perhaps a bit mean in posting the quizzes, which were, indeed, fairly elementary providing you knew much about the subjects. The point was not to show how much I know, but how little some on the thread know. Consider: Libertarians take this attitude that most of the world, not only the uneducated, but many who are obviously intelligent and well- respected, are dopes who just don't get it, or people with hidden "authoritarian" agendas. How often has one of you accused me of having closed my eyes to the truth, or being dense, or having an authoritarian agenda? You are full of this "we happy few" mentality. Yet I couldn't even get The Street to answer correctly a small, elementary economics quiz! You all think that you are so philosophically acute, and yet no one can even take a stab at my ELEMENTARY philosophy quiz! I do not object to you having opinions, and if you were the least bit respectful of those who are not Libertarian, I would not have been so hard on you. But you are not...
