save for later (essay question).

by Rob Friesel

This one was keeping me up the other night… What *is* the highest priority item on the human moral/ethical agenda? And how should this highest of priorities be executed? Is the agenda the protection of human life? Or the protection of civilization? To assist each other? Or sustain? Produce? Or reproduce? This assumes in the […]

*le sigh* The great Blogger switchback. Don’t get me wrong … I have mad love for Blosxom in theory but all that Perl was just making my nauseous. So F_D is back on Blogger. Grabbed a standard layout while I relearn the tags. (Was starting to get a headache from the toe-fungus yellow background anyway…) […]

1/2 the work.
