Update concerning your 'mate

Ok, so this is pretty much just an update on what's up and I might mention some thing that I am thinking but I will probably save most of that for tomorrow since I am planning on sleeping sometime tonight.  Ok, today I debated and that is pretty much all I did because the rest of the day was preparing for the debate.  Yesterday... was a blur.  I in fact don't even remember what happened.  Oh yeah, one of my friends might have a tumor, we find out tomorrow.  She is Dory's (my roommate) girlfriend who I am quite fond of and I hope everything goes well.  I met her parents because they came down and they were fun to meet.  Yeah, so I spent much of the evening with them and trying to entertain everyone, I think we also played Mario Cart.  Sunday was cool.  Saturday I went to Mesquite and campaigned again for Barack Obama.  The guy that I was paired up with was an old guy that had been working for Barack for months now, almost every day.  He wanted to just drive and let me do the knocking and talking.  One guy said, "I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A COMMUNIST."  I don't see what is wrong with communists but eh whatever.  Especially since Barack isn't a communist.  I did talk with my friend Amber about communism and pretty much won the argument that she didn't participate in much.  I got Paper Towns which is John Greens book and was pretty much awesome.  That is pretty much it.  I have been busy and the rest hasn't been very interesting (I know that wasn't either but you must suffer to be a friend of mine).  Ok, I will talk about Iraq now.  So at the Debate I stated and defended Barack Obama's views on foreign affairs.  First was the war on terror.  If another person tells me that we went to Iraq to combat terrorism I will do serious injury to that person which will most likely involve Q-tips.  The only good explanation that I can find for going into Iraq is this.  1) We wanted to gain more influence in the Middle East. 2) We want to spread democracy throughout the world by any means necessary (see Neo-cons).  3)We don't like ourselves and want to create as much chaos and pain as possible for ourselves.  4)George Bush has a banana stuck so far up his nose that it is affecting his brain capacity.  5) Trees gain energy by converting sunlight into sugars through chlorophyl.  6) Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen (true).  7) Saddam Hussein lost Iraq in a Texas hold'em tournament between him and Dick Cheney,  8)Iraq seemed like easy pickings and we had a fool proof plan to go in, do a regime change and go out without any forseeable complications. 9)We as Americans are arrogant and utterly misunderstand other cultures, especially the Middle East 10) Calvin, Hobbes and Garfield had an all out battle and Hobbes obviously won by a wide margin but then turned his back on Calvin and was kicked in the head.  Well does anyone have a better answer for me on why we entered Iraq?  I think I had some real answers in there somewhere (Hint: if you say it was for WMD's, you are an idiot) (Hint: If you say it was for oil you are by far oversimplifying it because that definitely wasn't the main reason) (Hint: If you have read the Peloponnesian War you would know that by extending your influence into regions that are far away and hard to control you will stretch your resources and be taken over by other powers in the world) (Hint: It would take a whole lot of oil to make the billions of dollars we have spent there worth it) (Hint: Osama Bin Ladin had a hit list with Saddams name on it and Iran hated him and hates Osama, wouldn't it be much easier if we let the Iranians do our dirty work?) (Hint: If you say Iran is a major threat to the United States, you are are so dumb that you probably would look up and drown when it rains.) (Hint: If you say that Saddam posed any threat whatsoever to the United States or Israel you probably are the type of person that eats cow manure for breakfast)  I had some others but I am too tired to remember them.  Any questions or comments?  Please put them in.  I know I have left some important info out.   

Tonight I must sleep

So, I think I am currently proving that I am dedicated to this blog because I am currently writing it even though I really need to get to bed and I have better things to do.  I guess this is a priority.  I slept in today, which means I woke up at like 8:00a.m.  I need to wake up tomorrow at about 6:00a.m. like I usually do though.  I was going to walk to school but I didn't because I was running late.  The internet distracted me because the news is always really interesting.  I was looking at the gaffes that both presidential tickets have been making and it turns out that Time is either biased or Barack Obama hasn't had very many gaffes.  They had a lot for Joe Biden and Sara Palin and even some for John McCain but Obama came out virtually unscathed.  I have to agree though, he hasn't had too many gaffes this fall.  I guess he learned his lesson from the primary season.  So, the event for today was that I went to the play gaslight which was incredibly creepy.  It is a mystery that doesn't follow most mystery patterns and so I enjoyed it a lot.  That and because it was about people being driven mad which I feel as though I understand completely.  I am getting nervous for a debate that I have on tuesday where I will debate the republicans at SUU on foreign policy.  I know foreign policy inside and out but I just don't like going in on something where I don't know how well the others will do.  I am mostly afraid that I will be coming out of it looking like the fool that I believe that I am not.  Maybe I am wrong.  Then again, most people don't seem to think that they are fools.  Does anyone have any suggestions for the debate (so far I only have like 2 and soon to be at least three subscribers to this blog so I am talking directly to you if you are reading this).  So what do you think that is needed to know something?  If you think that it is justified true belief... you are wrong.  Sorry, thanks for playing.  By the way, if you answer this question you will quite possibly become immortalized in the annals of Epistemology.  And boy would you feel special.  Just imagine the rainbows and ponies that would appear to celebrate the grand occasion.  Maybe I will answer that question.... once I figure it out.  A friend of mine named Mandy (most of my readers know this lady, for she is your roommate) joined up with ChaCha today.  I might do that too because I think I would do a good job at it and would find it interesting.  I would hope that by answering questions all day that I would be able to learn a lot of random information and I would be allowed to be creative at my responses.  So I was asked the question today which goes like this, "If you saw me being escorted into a police car what crime would you think that I committed?"  I now ask you to answer this question about me and then write the answer in the comments.  I will then argue against your point and belittle your ideas about my criminal ways.  So, I think I am going to bed now.... until tomorrow.  Adieu!

Taking a short break to do something that I have wanted to do for some time

Wow!  That was a really long title.  I would say I will work on stuff like that but I will most likely do it again and I refuse to change the title as it is now.  So, I was up until 3:00a.m. last night doing a paper on G.E. Moore's proofs and arguments against Cartesian Skepticism.  I know!  You are thinking about how much you want to leave this blog at this very moment and check out these great arguments (or to escape the insanity of philosophical discussions).  Pretty much this is the low down on G.E. Moore [because you are so interested (but seriously, it is really interesting to me)], Descartes wanted to prove to us that nothing is certain because you can doubt the existence of everything, including the external world.  Part of his main argument for this is the belief that it is logically possible that an evil deceiver is out there and makes us confused as to what is true and the second part is that your whole life could just be a dream, or at least your current situation.  Moore tried to prove that this is ridiculous by showing that you have hands by pointing to one and saying here is a hand, then while pointing to the other saying here is a hand and then your conclusion is that there are two hands.  HA hands exist so external objects exist.  If you want to know more you should look up Moore.  Sorry about that... that wasn't even a sufficient explanation so I am not sure it did any good to mention it.  Also, events of today.  I went to New Castle to give some Obama signs to a man out there and while I was waiting for him in the only gas station parking lot in town a man came up to me and said, "You can't put any signs up here."  The weird part was that all of my signs were still in my car, I don't believe that I looked like I was about to put signs up.  I have come to the conclusion that my decision to become a Democrat in Southern Utah is pretty much putting my life on the line for my principles.  The main point of this blog for today was my belief in political activism but I think I will save that for tomorrow since this is already very long and I am already very tired.  By the way, three hours of sleep does not result in a sufficient nights rest.  Also I didn't eat for most of the day which was a bad idea.  Good Night!
