I was only kidding about delaying the start, you know. Anyway, the 4th is fine for me.

"Some" is defined as "one or more." Even if Kel's anecdote were literally unique, it would still be sufficient to prove his case.

Something just came up for me on Tuesday. I'll be about two hours late. Less, if you want to delay the start just for me.

We're starting in less than half an hour. Come to swcreeping to watch!

Thursday is fine. Tuesday is a no-go and Wednesday would be awkward, but any other day is fine.

My rule of thumb is to say everything at least once. I'd use the long version the first time and the short version every time thereafter.

Originally Posted By: Excalibur I thought about justifying my choices, but it really comes down to the fact that I'm a card-carrying (literally) constructionist member of the Libertarian Party. Maybe you can clarify something for me. How is Cleveland a Libertarian hero even though he used the Army to break up the Pullman strike?

Originally Posted By: Lilith oh yeah, winston churchill sure was a great military leader. that is why he masterminded such brilliant victories as Gallipoli and Dunkirk (pro tip for the unaware: those were neither brilliant nor victories) In fairness, the BEF constituted a pretty small fraction of the Allied forces in France in 1940, so it's hard to blame anyone in the UK for that loss. This goes double for Churchill, who wasn't even PM until after the battle was lost. And the evacuation of Dunkirk was arguably a victory, in that its objective (get the BEF across the Channel before it was destroyed) was accomplished. Still, for all the credit Churchill gets, nobody has ever explained to me what he did that Eden, Macmillan, Halifax, or any other possible choice for PM at the time couldn't or wouldn't have. Sure, he made some excellent speeches, but nobody ever tales the next step and explains how speeches won the war. EDIT: also, this: Originally Posted By: Dikiyoba Hey!

Originally Posted By: Space Between I suspect Planescape: Torment would be on the list as well, but it's so terribly bothersome and tedious to actually play that I've never managed to get very far in it. Same here. I'm going to give it another try one of these days. Amongst games I've actually finished, I'm torn between the original Fallouts and the Baldur's Gate series.

I might be interested in what he has to say, but believe it could have been said more succinctly. Respecting the time of the people who read what you write is both good sense and good manners.

The issue wasn't that free exercise was directly restricted law, but that nonmembers were required to support the CoE. So when Rick Perry spends the state's money to attend a religious event, it's actually quite similar to the kind of policy that the Establishment Clause was a response to.
