| When Dion was elected and went up to speak, his first words were, 'Let's get ready for the election' or something to that effect. Ominously, I received a reminder in today's mail. One Jonathan Naymark appeals to me as follow: Please see the attached invite for an exciting fundraising event held in s... |

| Why don't you try to make the argument? One does need to be able to do more than quote works and name drop if you want to finish that little education of yours. I'd be happy to have a philosophic argument with you over the limits or existence of rationality and or the roll of intuition but I'll hav... |

| So you can't correctly site a source. you're reading intro to philosophy thought experiment books and consult "Toronto philosophers", are you sure you go to Harvard? Where do you go to school? Or does that all of sudden not matter? Anyway, I will peruse Baggini's book next time I'm in a b... |

| I'll have to double check what Luciene Bogusninni says about stuff like that. Ah! I can save you some time. Thanks for the tip that it was Julian Baggini, the book quoted from is 'The Pig that Wants to be Eaten' and actually, I have just read it this weekend, and I can tell you that it is a delight... |

| I'm quite happy with a number of things that the Harper government has proposed or supported, not all. I won't support social conservatives. Harper has done good work distancing himself from these positions with the recent vote and position on SSM. Also, my friend, Harper has not managed to distanc... |

| Incidentally, there is another inconsistency when you are glad that Iggy did not become the leader and also call yourself a conservative. IF Iggy became the leader and did more press blunders THEN the chances would be better for conservatives in the election THEREFORE as a conservative you would pr... |

| I'm also glad he didn't win the nomination. I don't trust him to work for Canada's best interest. I have nothing to base this on, other than a gut feeling. No, it's quite obvious that you had a strong preference for Iggy, that you think to some degree he lost because of anti-egg-head sentiments, an... |

| I think it's interesting news. Despite Trevor telling us that with Dion, were out with the old, in with the new..the fact remains that it's nothing like that at all. Not much has changed. I agree with 'OnTheIce' this is interesting news from ridernrain. But I must caution people in thinking that Ma... |

| Logic? I studied philosophy. I don't find Harvard undergrad that impressive. I went to Reed and would have more respect for Swarthmore or Pomona for undergrad.... sorry to pop your bubble. When I was thinking about going to grad school Princeton and Berkeley were my top choices, Harvard wasn't even... |

| At this point, there was confusion in their minds. They were simple young people who had not looked beyond their candidate at all. Who was your 2nd choice? Good question, lily, and there is an irony in it! Let me explain, though I have a trouble with long postings, and I hope I am not boring you gu... |

| Iggy attracted the thinkers in the party, and unfortunately there were about People like you, who think that if Iggy held the coveted post of Professor at the prestigious Harvard University he cannot be trusted, have actually voted in Dion who is a french citizen! Ask yourself: What gut feeling mad... |

| Always: What did that vote cost? How much was it to attend and vote? The fee was $995 to attend the convention. In addition I budgeted $360 on the hotel, and another $200 on food. Since I drove from Toronto, travel costs were, if you take the usual 25 cents a kilometre, perhaps about another 200. I... |

I have nothing to base this on, other than a gut feeling. I think you would be a good example of the kind of delegate I just described. I presume th... |

| I was at the convention, and of course, I voted for Iggy in all the ballots. But I was standing next to Iggy and Zhu when the candidates for round three were announced. We heard the names alphabetically, Dion (mild approval from the crowd.) and then Ignatieff, and a thunderous roar. And we could not... |
