That's not a sufficiently exhaustive definition of a liberal. A liberal is somebody who's lavish with the inheritance left by his grandparents.

Enough of that. I'm re-reading The Last Superstition and I would like to ask a question of somebody, anybody. If a materialist explantion of the mind is foredoomed, does that mean that materialism is in its death-throes? After all, there must be a point where naturalist theories are seen to be hopeless, and advancing knowledge only makes them seem more hopeless. And what could replace materialism, realistically speaking?
Have you read M. Stanton Evans's: "Blacklisted by History. The Untold Story of Senator Joe McArthy And His Fight Against America's Enemies" (NY: Crown, 2007)?

If you have done so, what's your opinion about that book?
As a non-American citizen not living in the USA, I'm just curious about your opinion on this topic.
