I thought Philosphy Majors were supposed to be the useless ones. The old joke going:"What does a Philosophy Major say after they graduate?""Do you want fries with that?"Anyway, enough prattle and on to the comic.Love the bumper sticker, gotta get me one of those so I can argue with everyone I meet! I mean, there are so many ways to interpret that! But how exactly do you all think Jones (presuming he's responsible for it being on the car) means it?
Freedom of speech/Press? After all the work he's done to spin or cover up the truth I doubt it.Freedom of religion? Jones hasn't commented on that too much until this little comment on the "deity".My theory is that it's a generalization. A way of saying that it's what this country is founded on that makes him protect it. It could also be a way of saying he won't break for laws or politicians or other agencies to get to his goals.
The three ladies, now we see why they weren't visiting Clara. As T told us, we see where Kath is. And it only took a week this time! thanks T! I do think it's kind of creepy how none of them have eyes though.
Finally, Passus Chronus and the Rings. I'm glad to see that Jones caught on to it here. I also think it's pretty cool that we collectively (or maybe singularly, you wade back and check) figured this one out. I'm still confused about the ending but I'm still hoping we'll get a peek at what Passus has been up to since Alisin shattered him.Hey.........ya know what? Passus getting destroyed like that (losing his physical form) and then the frenzy over the Rings, it reminds me a bit of Sauron. Hmmmmmmm....... wouldn't that be interesting....*Tries to picture a big flaming polyhedron high atop the WoTC headquaters*------------------

That combination of images makes me wonder now, exactly where did the 23 sider of power first show up? Is it Passus's "One Die"?

Remember that the scene of Passus being destroyed happened entirely in Alisin's MIND. Rikk probably only banished Passus, and if I were Passus, I'd be seeking another way out of the Tartarus that Rikk condemned me to.So you think maybe Passus might have been behind the Ring fiasco? A ploy to force Rikk to be his "mouth" again?

Actually the joke is - To Philosophy major:"What do you plan to do after you graduate?""I could think deep thoughts about being unemployed."Truth is - lot of Phil majors go to Law School <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">------------------

Oh it is, but you misinterpret what they learn.
Ethics doesn't teach you to HAVE them. It teaches you how to argue about them and find the holes other peoples ethical theories.I swear, check any critic's family tree, (film, theater, resteraunt, whatever) and you'll find a philosopher.------------------

What's with the sudden break aways from each thread of story?
As the General's name is to be uttered...
As Shanna is getting nervous about things she can only wish she really could ask Clara...
As Guth decides to begin whatever revenge he has in store for Stu...
And then we flip to this...Heh... I wonder if the liscense plate is meant to differ Real-Jones from alternate-world-Jones (in our heads)? That guy didn't really have the right respect for the Constitution... This Jones hasn't tried to really destroy the entire scifi community as a whole (That was Thack)... Just the club.Hmm... Yeah.

Keep in mind - Morals and Ethics are two different things <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">
