Obama Adress to Congress

The man just keeps getting better and better every day in that oval office. He spoke of a little girl writing Congress about her school and wanted it to be fixed because like the people in Congress the children in her school want to become Lawyers, Doctors, Congress members, and President, but they can't get that done without the right means. I watched every second of it and was never bored.

Chris

Finally I was reunited with Chris today. I hadn't seen him in about three weeks.

His hair has exploded and grown four feet. I braided it for him. Yay!!!

Public Enemies

"Johnny Depp stars as legendary bank robber John Dillinger and Christian Bale is the G-man on his tail in this true crime drama directed by Michael Mann." (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810021973/info)

'common sense'

"For in relation to reason on sense, in so far as it is the only thing that makes us human and distinguishes us from brute animals, I believe that it is present in each of us in its entirety, and thus I follow the view generally held by philosophers, who say that there are differences of degree only between 'accidents', but not between the 'forms' or natures of individuals in the same species" (Rene Descartes - Discourse on Method, Part One).

For me this means that common sense is a higher degree of an animals instinct, we all have animal instincts but we have learned to control them. Say that a deer hears a loud noise they react with immediate fear and will most likely run away to find cover. Now when we hear a loud noise, yes, we are startled but we don't run for cover, we think reasonable and think of what could have made that noise, our 'common sense' is telling us that it's not a threat.
