Even Peter nods…

Socrates never DID much of anything, because he couldn’t quite figure out what virtue is.

Peter Lawler then goes on to discuss a Fred Thompson candidacy. I don’t dispute his political analysis of Fred Thompson necessarily. But Socrates never DID much of anything? Don’t tell that to Victor Davis Hanson or he’ll bore you to tears with tales of Potidaea, Amphipolis, and Delium, as did Alcibiades in the Symposium, and Socrates himself in the closing moments of the Apology, after he has been sentenced to death.
