This is what dreams are made of?

So Starbuck's is always inspiring...on my lovely grande cup of cinnamon dolce latte, the following was inscribed:

"Imagine we were all the same. Imagine we agree about politics, religion, and morality. Imagine we like the same types of music, art, food, and coffee. Imagine we all look alike..."

And that brought to mind another quotation...

"If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the looting started."

Moral? Don't close your eyes when you day-dream.

Numbers 'n Stuff

The Census Bureau

The Census Bureau needs to get its act together. Seriously.

They don't have the national average age of the American population and we're supposed to think of them as experts??

Whatever.

At least they keep their facts relevant: Texas rules the roost by an outstanding majoity.

Texas is now our second
most populous State with
a 1994 population of
18.4 million.

California had the highest
amount of net domestic out-
migration of any State
between 1993 and 1994,
with a net loss of 426,000
people to other States.

The South is the most pop-
ulous region of the Nation
and gained the most popu-
lation between 1993 and
1994.

Theology courses
A critic (liberal, of course) once described PHC as the "Bible college that turns out politians." Funny how accurate that really is.
Con-law has actually been quite interesting. It's amazing how nearly all my courses turn into a three/four month-long discussion on theology. This time around, though, I might actually discover some legal principles. (insert wink)



The Well-Armed Lamb

Today, I was hunting for the authenticity of this quotation attributed to Benjamin Franklin:

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."

Well, the quotation has been added to the list of the "unconfirmed." I still think it's brilliant.

Then I started thinking about that well-armed lamb and realized that it fit me perfectly!

Rachel means "lamb" and Leotta means "lion." I'd call that a fairly well-armed lamb.



Final thoughts?

Must. Have. Coffee.

Life goes on...

I realize it's been a while since I've posted here. A long while, actually.

I should be crawling out of the woodwork soon, though, as I become more politically knowledgable. Lately, I've been blissfully non-opinonated in my thoughts as only a very small portion of them are ever dedicated to politics or current events in general.

Why the change? I'm starting school again.

That's right. Rachel's back in PHC DL courses...look out world.

At any rate, until my political consciouness is fully aroused, know that coffee is fully functional at whatever temperature.

That's right.

- When coffee is piping hot, it keeps you awake.

- When it's just right, it still keeps you awake

- When it feels like you've just downed an brownish iceberg, it will still keep you awake.

Hence, coffee is one of the few things I can think of in this thought-repressed moment that fulfills its function no matter its temperature.

That is all.
