David, I never would have taken the time to read this book of essays myself. I listen to you frequently via and you always do a good job of relaying the gist of a text and often picking out the key pieces for focus. Its basically college level lectures on philosophy for free. I dont know if this comment will make its way into your email or whatever, but thanks for your seemingly tireless effort to make this content accessible to the time impoverished.
