correction-"Euthyphrotic" and "Euthyphro" (and to think I once studied
Greek!)
Εὐθύφρων (bah!)
Glen -
You (or I) too could perhaps have 15 seconds of (in)fame if you can
engage "his Orangeness" in a Eurythrophetic twitter exchange on the
definition of Piety (or "what is a Wall?" or ... "what is a Hoax?"...
"what is a Climate?", "what is a landslide")...
Reviewing their exchange (Socrates and Euthphyro), I can imagine why
his antagonists wanted to take him down... he sure does come off as
painfully argumentative sometimes... reminds me of a famous line on
FriAM a few years ago, I think it went "You can be such an a**hole
sometimes" But I take it as a fact that Socrates was extremely
precise in his choice of words (ideas) as I believe you to be...

I dunno about "pure". But it definitely reminded me of Euthyphro.

I'm not sure this is pure Socratic, but does carry it's form... it
is a bit passive aggressive and/or manipulative to deserve such an
idealized term, don't you think?
