I am back from Ireland, and I am loaded with new philosophical queries. What I found most fascinating was how many early settlements and towns had walled cities within them. Now the walls are just remnants that can be pointed out from a tour bus. What is happening here?
In any event, I will be with you on Friday, given the luck of the Irish. We will meet from 9:45 until 11:45 am at the Eastside Branch of the Lexington Public Library. Ask at the front desk for info on which of the meeting rooms we will occupy.
So, I suggested a topic above, but there are others to consider, as well.
- Do you ever wonder why the feverish screaming of politicians, seeming to disqualify both their opponents and themselves, makes any connection with the need for civilization?
- What is the mystery of language, and what is the purpose of the melange with which we try to struggle by?
- What burning issues have we passed by, or never approached?
- Are there hot topics with which we need to spend more time?
Maybe you have already proposed a new topic. If so, someone let me know, so I can try to find some good related material on the Internet. Either reply to the email, or post a comment to this thread on this website, reasonockhammencken.blogspot.com
I look forward to seeing each of you again.
Best regards
Jim Carigan
