CotV 167

The 167th Carnival of the Vanities is up at File it Under. Hate to say this, but one of his quotations of a post contains a factual inaccuracy:
John Locke was a fearless philosopher because he dared to challenge the notion of Divine Right and advanced the rights of life, liberty, property, and religious tolerance for all individuals.
Actually, he advanced the religious tolerance for all except Catholics and atheists. Always worth remembering that that someone can be ahead of his time while being well behind ours.
