Face it, LMP: we all know that you're on your way out. You just don't have enough credibility to make executive orders anymore.

I'm very sorry to hear about the shooting. It is particularly distressing to consider the pain for so many families that will continue for months and years, resulting from that one moment of cold, pure, logical nihilism in the student's mind.

Then it would have had to have been poor logic, because logic correctly used will always yield the correct answer. But that's a topic for another thread...

It will only yield the correct answer if you are beginning with true premises. Logic can be completely valid and completely false.

Which is what I meant by "correctly used".

Anyway, my home computer is currently out of commission, so you probably won't see any posting action from me on the weekends.

Then I agree with you. But without God, nihilism IS the logical conclusion.

I don't reckon I'll post until lunch-time.
