If anyone knows John Stuart Mill...

if you are looking for an answer for a vanilla test with a question on JSM/Utilitarianism or simple shit like that then the previous post may be of help

if it is something where you think you can get points from going a little bit beyond that,then try questioning the notions Utilitarianism and Morality

Utilitarianism- utility/usefulness to whom? 
Morality- who decides what is moral/immoral, who decides there is a morality to start with

a little more work- but in the end much more interesting

While writing Walden, Thoreau was never really more than a mile or so from 'civilization.'   

I've heard that line before from my history teachers, etc. "He was only a mile from civilization, so not really "out in the woods". They say it as if it is some kind of insight.

But Thoreau said that himself in Walden, and that he would occasionally go to a friends house in town for a meal or to talk before returning to the cabin. So I don't see how saying "he was only a mile away" any way discredits Thoreau's arguments?

Did his drug dealer take a baseball bat to his head for unpaid gh

Stretch marks from too much thinking.

Well, it's like retreating to Mt. Baldy and and having an Arby's next door. It's not only literally expedient (and what trope isn't?) but an exercise in silliness.

/yes. book is on shelf. somewhere.
