Iran creates international panic

Do you want to kill her, or educate her?

And how do you make that choice?

One notices that it seems to take a ridiculously large government to do what you want to do.

How does that go?

And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Berlin, do here in your hometown as well.'"

Leftist stupidity is nothing if not annoying. It seems to spring from the limited mentality needed to stay leftist.

I do not accept those limits upon my thinking -- and I'm not hogging all that ambition to myself. I think therefore that I'm walking a better road than Dana's. I'll get around to composing a little essay on whether I'm walking a better road than you are soon.

How do I make that choice? Fuck, UT, how do I not make that choice? I am not afraid to be a moral being, and all the less so for anyone telling me I should be. That's not out of pointless contrariness, but ultimately out of understanding that moral relativism is altogether hopeless at telling good from bad. So I dropped moral relativism many years ago and will not take it up again. It's the last refuge of the pseudosophisticate.

As for government size, I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. What was it you think I wanted done that would take gigantism?
