I have definitely overposted, so I'll respond to Jerry tomorrow on democracy (I largely agree with him and think he made some fascinating points -- his knowledge of classical history is much greater than mine, I can barely remember how to decline Greek nouns).

This is a mean-spirited attack on those of us who have already expressed interest in or respect for Heidegger. You may be entitled to your bitterness over having had to read Heidegger (just as I might be bitter over my wasted years learning Science) but does that justify the gratuitous insult?
