I could be pulling your leg. Let's keep this relationship strictly Platonic. Perhaps with a gin and platonic.

He was such a colorful writer! Ok so maybe he "stretched" the truth a bit. But he could roll up facts into a tight little ball and then smack it out flat for all to understand. Many a mind has been molded from the work of Play-Dough. And once your interest in Play-dough has dried up, try Sock-ra-tease. The Red Hot Chili Peppers swear by him!!
See ya! :)

Very funny. It's PLATO, you dimwit and in case your brain has a few cells left, he lived in like 400 BC! But, since you want to be smart, here's a piece about the writing.
The masterpiece among the middle dialogues is Plato's Politeia (Republic). It begins with a Socratic conversation about the nature of justice but proceeds directly to an extended discussion of the virtues (Gk. areth [aretê]) of justice (Gk. dikaiwsunh [dikaiôsunê]), wisdom (Gk. sofia [sophía]), courage (Gk. andreia [andreia]), and moderation (Gk. swfrosunh [sophrosúnê]) as they appear both in individual human beings and in society as a whole. This plan for the ideal society or person requires detailed accounts of human knowledge and of the kind of educational program by which it may be achieved by men and women alike, captured in a powerful image of the possibilities for human life in the allegory of the cave. The dialogue concludes with a review of various forms of government, an explicit description of the ideal state, in which only philosophers are fit to rule, and an attempt to show that justice is better than injustice. Among the other dialogues of this period are Plato's treatments of human emotion in general and of love in particular in the FaidroV (Phaedrus) and Sumposion (Symposium).
