Barefoot Bum

Barefoot Bum (aka Larry) was kind enough to not only link to me here but to offer a few kind words about me, so I thought I'd reciprocate and also thank him for that here. I really respect his viewpoint. I also respect his ability to really dig down into the minutiae, making long, thoughtful, well-researched posts that are enough to make my usually from-the-hip posts seem rather inadequate (at least to me). I'm glad he decided to start blogging again after a short "retirement" and I encourage anyone who enjoys thoughtful commentary, particularly on philosophy, to read him. He has a sharp wit (and sometimes a sharp tongue for those who deserve it) and is an enjoyable read.
