Thank you Che, for reiterating and expanding upon a point I made in a
previous post in which I too, pointed specifically to the influence of
the 'Enlightenment'.  

Such niceties of fact will, of course, be lost on the likes of Mikey,
Tracey, VanRoach and that ilk, whom the exposure to philosophy took
about as well as their exposure to history in school.  Assuming the
remote possibility that any actually were exposed to history and
philosophy or attended an institution of learning beyond elementary.
