Concerning descartes.....

I definitely think that Descartes was monumental in terms of his contributions to philosophical thought.  He questioned true existence and what we can actually know.  My only criticism would be that descartes's theory that all of our thoughts could be controlled by demons is somewhat impractical.  Now, of course no one can disprove this, but I feel like his original theory, knowledge should be determined by reason and logic, is more appropriate.  What does everyone else think?

Raindrops on the ends of your teeth

Few things are coming to my head at the moment, but cest la vie(France).  I think if there's one thing i've been kind of question lately it would be: what is the difference between individuals and how different are people really from one another?  I do not have a clear answer, just a question.

Where shoud ownership stop?

Now I do not want to sound like too much of a radical or what have you, but I believe private property should have strict set bounds.  I think in America this is a true problem.  Power, water, healthcare, and many other sects of public life are owned and operated by private corporations.  This means we have to go and search for the best deals ,and corporations are held less accountable than the government.  I understand capitalism and the almighty dollar are what drive our economies, but I believe they should not possess some of the basic human essentials.  A good indicator of the abuse that can occur happened in South America in the 90's.  A company gained a monopoly on all of the water in the poor, third world country.  This caused people to have to pay outlandish prices for water.  The monopoly was so strong that they even claimed ownership of rainwater after storms.  Just a thought.
