(no subject)
So, first off, I had the most intelligent, loving and by FAR hottest date of all this weekend. Ask anyone who was there.
------------------------
Ahhh, Richard Dawkins, you are my favourite living celebrity Scientist, and this is just another reason why.
------------------------
To all the conservative polliticians and the general hoi polloi who support them in North America. I can tell you are not at all familiar with Sun Tzu, or you would never have even considered extending your war against brown people, specifically in Iraq and Afganistan (for now, but coming to Iran soon I hear). I know you are terrified of brown people, but you know what, all that makes you is ignorant racists. And cowardly.
From The Art Of War;
"Sun Tzu said: In the operations of war, where there are in the field a thousand swift chariots, as many heavy chariots, and a hundred thousand mail-clad soldiers, with provisions enough to carry them a thousand li, the expenditure at home and at the front,including entertainment of guests, small items such as glue and paint, and sums spent on chariots and armour, will reach the total of a thousand ounces of silver per day. Such is the cost of raising an army of 100,000 men.
When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardour will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.
Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.
Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardour damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.
Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. . ."

Last night, I was abducted and forced to eat vegetarian Japanese food by a hot lesbian.

I am in very good shape, and I have very good endurance. I will be more than ready for my next Aikido test.
