This article examines the idea that you can seperate a man from his ideas. Can there be a philosopher who is also a Nazi? Remember, one of this countries founding fathers was a slave holder. (Jefferson) Do you think it is possible to separate a mans thoughts from his actions? Should a persons political views be the only factor that you look at when you judge a person?

Why not? Anyone can be anything. Just like you had brought up the whole jefferson thing. I abolutly think that one could. It also might mean that we dont believe everything that he might say but it still could possibly happen.
