definitelynotme: in response to one of your many blog questions of wednesday, the one in which you question what you would give your live for, i quote the great fyodor dostoyevsky "the sacrifice of life is, in many cases, the easiest of all sacrifices". he goes on to discuss the greater sacrifice that fewer could accomplish of relinquishing five or six years of their youth to hard labor. i just think you might consider that there are greater sacrifices to be made, though they may not sound as romantic as death.
Adpearl: wow, very insightful. yeah, the first thing we think of for "i'd do anything for so-and-so" is: would you die for them? very cool, never thought of it in that sense

Phil's deep words (While surrendering life sounds noble, it could very well be an easier gesture of love and loyalty as opposed to altering your life with the pain and terror of, say, submitting yourself into slavery for the rest of your life.) gave my brain a new exercise outside it's most recent routine of stretching with law enforcement, followed by a brief jog of law enforcement, intensified with a full-body workout with law enforcement, and concluded with a cool-down procedure involving law enforcement. I doubt that I had ever read 500 pages in two days until now. How reflective is it that the shortest chapter in Policing in Modern Society deals with police ethics? Tonight will provide a brief break from my studies. Jason turns 23 today, so where should a few friends go to celebrate? Why, Alehouse of course! Here's hoping Chasity blesses us with her presence. Tragically, I think I'll end the night back here in my room with book #3: Police in a Time of Change. Hey, whatever must be done...
