For the sake of argument
|
For the sake of argument I'm considering re-naming my blog that . You know , because it's important . The other day at work two dudes very nearly came to blows over the definition of a grilled cheese sandwich . Guy one was saying how he made the best grilled cheese with diced tomatoes and bacon . The guy said that if it has anything other than cheese that it's a melt . You probably think I'm exaggerating but they were ready to throw down over this . Sometimes I wish I cared about anything that much . Other times I'm glad I don't . I got into an argument the the other day about the United States . I was contending that Western Europe has a much lower resource consumption and a higher quality of life than the US because of it's very existence - that if every state (or whatever) was its own country each state would be better off individually . His counter argument was a flag pin and to shout USA ! USA ! USA ! in 1956 the US national motto was changed from "U pluribus unum" (from many one) to "In God we trust" to make sure people knew we weren't atheistic communists . In 1970 in Aronow VS United States , the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the motto does not violate the First Amendment to the Constitution . God shows up in a lot of national mottoes . Not Australia though . Australia's motto used to be "Advance Australia" but it was changed to not having a motto . Which is interesting , people must have really hated it to prefer nothing . It's like that time I applied for a job and they decided instead of hiring me they would just not have that job . For the sake of argument , let's say all your choices and all your effort are destined to be a waste . You're still very much yourself and nobody else . And you're forging ahead , as yourself . So relax . People are really jazzed about being "yourself" . Which is alright I guess , if you can't be someone better . For the sake of argument , let’s say we’ve found a way to build a space elevator . Could it theoretically be powered , on the trip up , by the vacuum of space ? History’s largest pneumatic tube ? The other day someone asked me (and others) if I would rather be able to read minds but only of people I didn't know or turn invisible but doing so would destroy the clothes I was wearing . This question is laughable . There is no benefit to being able to read minds . I don't want to know what horrible things people are thinking . Someone said you could use your powers to help the police solve crimes . Wrong . First of all the police would never believe you , if you read a criminal's mind and told them were a murder weapon was they'd assume you did it - because how else would you know where it was ? And if your powers were confirmed you would be immediately taken into custody by the government and your brain would be dissected within in the week . Nude invisibility is clearly the answer . Someone said "Well you'd also overhear things you didn't want to hear if you were invisible" . Look people , I'm not just hanging out invisible . That power would be reserved for escaping dangerous situations and potentially for well planned criminal endeavors . I'm not going to just be loitering about nude and unseen . One time there was a movie called the Specials . It wasn't very good but I like it . It was about a superhero team that did good things and helped people and all that but no one cared about them because there were other better super teams around . One of their problems was they never had much money because they did super stuff instead of having jobs - none of them being Bruce Wayne types . A sub-plot of this movie was the team leaders brother was also a super person but he used his super powers to make money and he was part of an organization that encouraged super people to do that instead of getting involved in violent confrontations with bad guys . He had super speed and had a job as a courier . That seems like not a very efficient way to monetize super speed . But I can't really think of anything better . He was trying to convince the leader guy who has laser beams to get a job doing precision mining - which again seems like under-utilization of said power . It reminds me of a paper I wrote in college about how Captain America is better than Superman . One argument I made was that since Superman is super strong and never gets tired and gets all his energy from the sun if he really wanted to help the world he'd just crank a magnet all day every day forever - a free clean source of renewable energy . That would do far more to make the world a better place than punching one of Lex Luthor's robots . In conclusion they're making a sequel to the Passion of the Christ . Explain that . Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

The minister's cat is a cantankerous cat Putting clients first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put clients (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

Don't ask me about a sequel to the Passion of the Christ - I'm still trying to understand how the single book The Hobbit became a movie trilogy. I would totally hangout invisible and nude. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

That's funny that they were concerned about overhearing something bad about yourself, if you were invisible. Because when you were describing the mind reading thing, my first thought was, "Gee, that would be unpleasant to hear someone thinking, 'look at that tall old lady with the weird colored hair, what a freak'.

Canada's Motto: "Get the butter" (circa 1971) which replaced "Canada: 'We're beaverlicious' " (circa 1867). And now that cannabis is legal, there's a grassroots proposal to yet again change the motto to: "Canada: We're Butterlicious. Get the Beaver".
