"It is told of [Marius], that having at one time given the freedom of the city to one thousand men of Camerinum who had behaved valiantly in this war, and this seeming to be illegally done, upon some one or other calling him to an account for it, he answered, that the law spoke too softly to be heard in such a noise of war."...

Great quote... reminds me that I should get a new copy of The Noble Lives once I build up a book fund to raid.

Why can't there be candidates a bit more inclined toward the likes of Marcus Aurelius?

Hey there..

Where'd the Michael Moore quote come from? Or did you write that?

Also: I love your ferret pics!!! They're like mini bears! smile

I'm not familiar with it, although I've read a lot of the source material. My undergraduate thesis was actually on the development of the concept of individual liberties from Hobbes through Mill. My conceit was essentially that its was possible to arrive at Mill's conclusions about the primacy of liberty without resorting to utilitarianism. In retrospect, what it mostly was, was an explication of a lot of the unstated assumptions that led to the development of the Bill of Rights, but I was a bit less sophisticated and bit too taken with my own cleverness at the time.

Married life is good so far, but I wish we had rich parents! I mean, that 60$ Wal-Mart gift card was nice and all, but it's no "Honeymoon in the Bahamas". tongue

Cigarette smoke hanging on
in the living room. The ship's lights
out on the water, dimming. The stars
burning holes in the sky.
Becoming ash, yes.
But it's all right,
they're supposed to do that.
Those lights we call stars.
Burn for a time and then die.
Me hell-bent. Wishing
it were tomorrow already.
I remember my mother, God love her,
saying, Don't wish for...

Hey there.

Just wanted to thank you for the stuff you post. Very level headed. I'm sometimes ready to rage when I see stuff like stockula's posts, but you seem to respond well enough to make me cool off.

A little.

Dear Keith,

Get yourself over to gamers chat board and read my advice on games for gamecube.

In it you will see that I slate mario karts a bit, but if you want you can buy a gameboyplayer, stick it on your cube and the play any gameboy game onscreen. mario Karts for gameboy totally rocks and you can unlock the original game on it too.

All the best

So, if Bush is appointed for a second term ..and it's similar to what happened in 2000 (I.E. he actually lost), who's signing up for the new civil war?

It's been 140 years, 'bout time we had another one. What better time to start than when practically the entire Army is overseas?
