Re: Hobbes' unattributed quote
A well-known sci-fi writer bemoaned the fact that in fantasy, some clumsy fool with a sword goes and kills the smart wizard, whereas in sci-fi, smart people are the ones solving the problems. Anybody know which writer said this? That aside, this "hasty generalization" made me groan for se...

Sweet. I'm accruing awesome points left and right. So. Back to the original questions . . . any other semester-based, or month-based, BYU-approved places? For those of you that lived in the FLSR, was it worth the money? YES, if you're willing to give up two hours a day for meals. And if your RF isn...

I have vista and I play D2 all the time. They just released the 1.12 patch with the new announcement, so there's a ton of people pulling it back out and playing. I'm on US West if anyone's interested in a few runs. Call me. Or I'll call you. Or email or something. We have so many ways to reach each...

In a completely communistic society, the tax rate would be 100%, but really, there would be no such thing as your money, so you'd have nothing to pay your tithe on. In an ideal 'law of consecration' society, I think the leaders of the community would pay a tithe on the community money, thus taking ...

I'm a big fan of not passing judgment on missionaries. That's not necessarily what you're doing, but different missions will have different cultures, and different missionaries will have different approaches. Perhaps they shouldn't be approaching these young women, but frankly, it's just not for us ...

Oh, and don't forget when Bob loudly announced that she was in charge of the board. Or was it the Board. I was confused. ;) Yes... We saw a side to Bob that doesn't show itself often, like that of a dictator. I think even Hobbes would be proud at how she governed. Did she execute hostages? You can'...
