philosophy, noun,
Critical examination of the rational grounds of our most fundamental beliefs and logical analysis of the basic concepts employed in the expression of such beliefs. Philosophy may also be defined as reflection on the varieties of human experience, or as the rational, methodical, and systematic consideration of the topics that are of greatest concern to humanity. Philosophical inquiry is a central element in the intellectual history of many civilizations. Difficulty in achieving a consensus about the definition of the discipline partly reflects the fact that philosophers have frequently come to it from different fields and have preferred to reflect on different areas of experience.
have you ever noticed in all classes on philosophy, that they are more a history of philosophy instead of a class on how to think critically? also why dont they include persons of interest that could be considered modern philosophers, like Henry Rollins, Tom Waits, George Carlin, and other misunderstood geniuses of contemporary times?

what is everything to someone & nothing to everyone else?
i remember reading some wheres that the amount of alcohol consumed by a person is directly proportioned to how stupid they see the rest of the human population. they drink to tolerate the stupidity they see on a daily basis that is. but as with most argumentative coins the argument could be made that they drink because they are to stupid to realize they are stupid...
Good musics and good points...
