Jud responds:
Tudor. Sorry, but to leave Springerism aside for a moment, [the black lesbian 
transvestite hooker who ditched her cancer-ridden girlfriend for a 
three-legged  Portuguese goat can wait till later]  you need to address this important 
bit of text again - this time it slowly and hermeneutically.
Heidegger is definitely sacrificing Dasein on the altar of the State -  READ 
THE TEXT!  [caps for emphasis as usual]
Anyway the whole context the whole project of Dasein is not about some lonely 
 little existentialist shivering on a seat at 
the side of the Danube or the Seine, its meant to represent HUMANITY not an 
individual, or even a few individuals in a Daseinic huddle of needles and 
silver paper, but Anthropo-Everyman.  C'mon Tudor wise up on Heidegger's Daseinic 
Discombobulation! 

Cheers,

Jud.
