“Can O’Worms: Abortion” – Elf’s fascinating mindset, to the fore. Recovery stories tend to fascinate me. Instapundit quotes from Cryptonomicon. Interesting sentiment. Not sure I agree completely. The idea that the only way to have reliable self-standards/morals is to get them from a book or an organization or a church falls rather flat with me, I’m afraid.

How can I talk about getting minors in different areas when I’m not doing well in my own? I don’t know, but I’m talking about it anyway. See above about crunch time. Dr. M is afraid that if she doesn’t get me into a Chemistry class next term that I won’t take any more chemistry classes. She wants me to take Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry next term. It’s a two credit hour self-paced lab, basically, and would count…
