Pardon me for being very dimwitted, but why are Brams' or Lew's philo-
sophical presuppositions any more or less acceptable than yours?  I
realize that some people who contribute to this newsgroup have a
direct line to the Truth.  The problem is, I can't distinguish those
who do from those who are mistaken.  I would greatly appreciate some
clarification.
