I feel like such a poetic simpleton...who knew there was so much work in rocking a rhyme?

YAY!!! I *love* that song. Hadn't thought of it in years, though I sang it softly to myself the whole way through my (one and only) trip through A Critique of Pure Reason.

I can't say the man's name (aloud or in silence to myself) without launching into the song, either on brainradio or for real.

I think Nietsche had it best about Kant--
"Kant was a man who claimed that the common man was right in language that the common man would never understand."

I remember parsing his sentences, just to figure out what he was getting at.
