    Default After over 200 years, the French, still helping Americans...

    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.

    I wanted to view this but Hulu is not available in the UK.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    Well crap. It's a video of a French guy who jumped in the East River when a 2 year old girl fell into it while boarding a vessel. The father jumped in the unanimous French dude also jumped in, then disappeared after the girl had been saved.
