if I were fascist dictator, I'd require that all students take at least one class in logic and how to recognize logical fallacies.
Someone needs remedial dictator instruction.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Ow. I just bought a bunch of comics and a bunch of clothes, and I am going to spend the weekend at the beach starting tomorrow afternoon. I will not be online. My poor, aching-from-coding-emergencies hands will thank me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And economics!
I wanna live in tommyrot's fascist dictatorship, not Corwood's. (And yeah, I get that I'm totally proving Corwood's point by saying that.)

That's going to get you onto my imaginary secret service list if you keep it up.
(I'm not even a dictator, but I've gone mad with fake power! Mad! Mad, I tell you, mad!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
And economics! Everything that governments and businesses do is based on economics, and yet in one of the richest and best-educated countries in the world, the average citizen knows bupkis about basic economics.
Agreed.

Pfft. I've been on real secret service lists! Or rather, I've imagined that it would be terribly interesting and romantic to be on such a thing, back when I was a wacky college student and the lists were much less of a real issue than they are now.

On that note, I'm out. Don't let the imaginary jackbooted economics thugs bite!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I never took economics until grad school, and it was pretty practical.
And I'm pretty sure the church I grew up in was on some Watch List -- and was broken into by the FBI or whoever -- back in the day. Not as much fun as you might think.

Chilling effect at work. If only this was the first place you had seen it.
