Hi David,
I just wanted to leave a comment saying that I appreciate your extensive research into philosophy and issues of this day and age. I am a debater and have found your essays very thought provoking and interesting in writing my arguments. I wouldn’t have thought of a lot of the thoughts and philosophers that you used. Thanks!
