    Default Epicurus has graduated college with Honors and a 4.0 semester

    This is all.
    There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

    rock on, epi.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    God willing and barring any unforseen incarcerations between now and enrollment.

    Thanks Charver. Btw, if you don't mind my asking what do you do? I can only assume from your posting that you are the internet equivalent of a standup comedian.

    My guess is that he's either a Nuclear Physicist or a dishwasher. I know one thing for sure. If I had any sheep I sure as hell wouldn't trust Charver around them!!

    Just a B.A in Political Science with a minor in History.. That in itself is nothing earthshattering. I was just trying to finish quickly and apply to law school. The impressive thing is that I did it in three years and on a full-tuition academic scholarship which means I'm free to take out loans for law school.

    Now to move on to tougher course work that doesn't involve "weaving" in the titles...



    Congratulations, fool.
    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.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Credentialed: US history, European history, Far East history, Near East history, ancient history, sociology, political science, geography
