Jeff,

You might enjoy reading some of the modern existentialist writers like Hegel, Heidegger, Sartre, and Nietzche. They provide an interesting and logical philosophical framework for a lot of the views you're expressing. Hegel and Heidegger are two of my favorites, and I'm always open to debating their views.
