Top 5 reasons I'm not panicking about being completely oblivious as to what Plato was getting at in the first five pages of the Republic today.
1. I haven't heard Plato referenced once in this upcoming election but Sarah Palin's credibility as a hockey mom has.
2. Socratic method would suggest that I should respond with a series of questions anyway. A confused look with do just fine.
3. I've only got a year and a half of teenage angst and indifference left in me so why am I caring about politics yet anyway?
4. I have wikipedia. The Greeks didn't.
5. I'm becoming increasingly good at voicing my opinion with an air of authority on topics I have no idea about. "wall street's strugglin again? ...supply and demand eh?"
