Is there any mileage in this?

I have a kind of intuition that one might get a lot of insight into the modern age by making a close comparative study - not only philosophical, but psychological and culture-historical too - of Rousseau and Nietzsche; beginning with their religious roots.

THERE IS NO MILEAGE IN THIS WHATSOVER!!!!

I have a young friend who is writing a doctoral dissertation on
the comparative roots of Nietszche and Rousseau at Texas Wetlands
Cambellite College and she sez HANDS OFF! THERE IS ROOM FER ONLY ONE
QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAIN!

Besides after Mme de Warine messed with him Jean-Jacques can be forgiven anything.

->grins<- I like a man who defends his friends' interests. But I don't suppose she's been the first or will be the last. At any rate, the likelihood of my carrying this project through is roughly the same as of winning a lottery jackpot. That's why I wrote it down before I forgot it.
