And yeah, I recognized the philosophies...just, like I said, none from which I wanted to shape my thoughts. I'm more of an Asimov guy anyway.

I'm an Ellison type, myself.

I just hope that this thread eventually features the text of the Heinlein lecture, oh man...

Phrost,
I know this does not seem like a good time, but I think we need to sit down and talk about that money you owe me.

Here are a few gems from the Naval Academy address:

"Patriotism is not sentimental nonsense. Nor something dreamed up by demagogues. Patriotism is as necessary a part of man's evolutionary equipment as are his eyes, as useful to the race as eyes are to the individual."

"Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative."

"An animal so poor in spirit that he won't even fight on his own behalf is already an evolutionary dead end; the best he can do for his breed is to crawl off and die, and not pass on his defective genes."

...and on and on.

Non-disclosure agreements, Hong Kong bank accounts, 10-acre compounds in Missouri, an electronic organization of fighting enthusiasts;

Sounds like one of those shitty mystery novels in the bargain bin at the drugstore.

P.S. Going from "SHUT THE **** UP WE HAD AN AGREEMENT" to "I AM OPEN AND HONEST" is comedy gold.

Don't forget AR-15s and cape wearing martial arts crusaders, wearing tights, fighting the evils of the dreaded McDojo in a Metropolis near you.

This movie is going to be so much better than "The Social Network".

We have fights, the hottest women in the world, and wing tsun diagrams.

This is all sorta vague. I think this should either be out in the open or it shouldn't, but if it's half way then there's gonna be speculation and photoshop.

I clearly pointed out how the latter works against vampires.

...and on and on.

Now come along my obese female fans, let's retire to the after-hours con suite and have an orgy that'll make the whole ninth floor of the Ramada smell like rancid bacon fat. This is the best LibertyCon ever!

I am still surprised this site is making profit... I mean it makes sense that it is... but I figured everyone (*edit* everyone meaning critical thinkers */edit*) used Adblock Plus.
