Drones Meeting: Saturday, December 13, 2008
We talked about: President Obama's ties to Blagojevich. What's the difference between an excuse and a reason? Do people given $50 million do well? Evan's burden of proportion.
A private club for argumentative gentlemen.
We talked about: President Obama's ties to Blagojevich. What's the difference between an excuse and a reason? Do people given $50 million do well? Evan's burden of proportion.
We talked about: A basic drive of nations and men is the desire to raise your flag over others. How should we enjoy glory? Is enjoyment the thing striven for in both glory and dinner?
We talked about: Doug W. briefed us on Christopher Hitchens. Issues of the extent of the church's role in state matters. If President Obama were a member of your church should he be disciplined for appointing a pro-choice Supreme Court justice?
We talked about: The Republican future, possible Obama policies. Can we be tempted to things that aren't sin.
We talked about: What do we say to those with Bush Derangement Syndrome? What's the first question you'd ask a risen Lazarus? Homosexual reaction to Prop 8. Tom Banks' answer to the question of why Drones doesn't come to a unified position. "We are less like a democracy than a Mexican standoff."
We talked about: Palin's future. Where will Obama govern from? Extreme left? Moderate? 'Expelled' movie critique. Fred donates election bet winnings to the Drones 'coffee fund'.
We talked about: Election caution. Are purges a good idea? Would you rather be the head of a great movement, or the author of a great idea?
We talked about: Evan foams about sports. Why do people like sports, art, singing? Is the same thing going on in people when they like different things? Are there any inalienable rights?
We talked about: Election momentum and issues. Voter registration process.
We talked about: I was golfing. No one took notes. (I have many excuses.)
