Republic of Virtue

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

There are three essential forms of government. There is despotism, and what you have to cultivate in people for a despotism is fear. There is one or another form of Monarchy, and the right set of dispositions for a Monarchy are going to be grounded in considerations of honor. Then there is the Republic which depends on nothing less than the cultivation of virtue.

-Montescu (sp?)

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And thus is winged Cupid painted blind.

Joshua Tree Pictures

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Thanksgiving this year was spent in Joshua Tree with some friends. The trip turned out to be a blast, we spent the most of the time climbing and relaxing and we actually cooked a turkey on the fire. We were treated on the drive home to the entertainment of hearing Kimberly H. get into trouble over having taken Justin’s white nalgene bottle that contained melted snow water from the south pole, which he intended on giving to his family for Christmas. A fun weekend overall. Pictures can be found at the link below.
