He just Kant stand it!
But the key question, Gonzaga grads, is this: Was Wayne Pomerleau at the scene of the crime?
...A police spokeswoman in Rostov-on Don, Viktoria Safarova, said two men in their 20s were discussing Kant as they stood in line to buy beer at a small store on Sunday. The discussion deteriorated into a fistfight and one participant pulled out a small nonlethal pistol and fired repeatedly.
The victim was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening. Neither person was identified.
It was not clear which of Kant's ideas may have triggered the violence.
This all begs for a Chesterton quote or three.
“We have had no good comic operas of late, because the real world has been more comic than any possible opera.” – The Quotable Chesterton
“When learned men begin to use their reason, then I generally discover that they haven’t got any.” – ILN, 11-7-08
“Reason is always a kind of brute force; those who appeal to the head rather than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence. We speak of ‘touching’ a man’s heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it.” – Charles II, Twelve Types
