Sorry for being absent 27 Jun 2011 Stuff has been happening, and I have been Blogor absentibus, for which I apologise. I will soon be doing an introduction to argument series which will begin when I can take material I used in teaching and format it. I am now an unemployed philosopher.

When you’re lyin’ the gutter, just remember that you haven’t really been drunk till you’ve woken up in mexico without clothes or a passport, and clutching a bottle of tequila. Been there, done that.
