Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

No! Oh Hell No! Jim Koch is the Messiah!
Excellent! But I must warn you. I've had a beer with this God chap. He lives in Colorado.
You wouldn't like English beer, but if I am to compete with God then I'll throw in a high tea, with cucumber sarnies and eccles cakes...
Who says he wouldn't like English beer. American micro breweries make ales that are every bit as good if not better than the English make. IPA's are especially popular in this country now as are ESB's and Pale Ales.

You are wrong. I loved it when I was out there on my honeymoon. In fact, that was part of the whole thing. We visited every pub and stayed at every "haunted" place we could find. (No, nary a ghost appeared, it was sad really.)

ah, you mean like the opening post?.....
Heathen!
That's cause you're a Buddist. You scared them off!
Cool. I thought you guys liked your beers on the edge of freezing?
No you aren't likely to, unless you drink enough cherry beer!
You came over here for your honeymoon? Hope you came during the two weeks of our summer?
The thing about debating is that you have to back up your statements with reasoned argument.
So in what way is my opening post very intellectually honest and unable to stand up to scrutiny?

We came for three weeks, the last two of July and the first of August. We traveled all through the nation, all the way up to Loch Ness and then back down pub-hopping and "ghost hunting"... Unfortunately no ghosts, but plenty of ale and tons of Guinness....No you aren't likely to, unless you drink enough cherry beer!

I'll always look back fondly on that time.

I can't believe it will be 10 years... This July is our 10th... What am I supposed to give her? Balsa Wood or something like that?
