In mathematical terms.. understanding difficult verse in light of many clear verses.. would be like trying to understand Cantor's set theory and transfinite numbers in terms of elementary arithmetic. how can you add a number and itself and get the same number.. *everybody* knows one and one makes two.. that was Kronecker's argument. Kronecker was a moron..

In my opinion, it is a cheat. A refusal to accept, or understand a supposed difficult concept. Hold it bound to some elementary concepts.. maybe "things" are not as simple as one is led to believe..

I dunno. Not a sin issue.. the longer I live, the more I abhor the kind of vile beast I have been at times, or even have the potential to be.. other than that, I think I am generally happy..

why can the wind cannot hear.. because it speaks

Ah, the blast. I assembled The Device. I knew the possible consequences.. the consequences were far less in the early70's. the neighbors already accounted weird smells and violent discharges pretty much a normal occurrence on our city block. No. I didn't light the (greatly extended) fuse. Its like yesterday.. the device went off. Brother barely survived.. he was now in College. First year.. well. to see flames extend their selves, around his then over-weight self.. sowy. If you saw it or experienced it, you would never forget it. Thankfully, the Chemistry path rejected me.. I'm sure things could have been worse.. Thankfully, the Chemistry path rejected me.. I'm sure things could have been worse..

some of the humans on the planet should be glad. a few childhood science experiments.. ended up with a blast that left a three inch crater in a solid concrete sidewalk.. I know some chemistry.. the path rejected me for one reason or another.. I've said enough about me.. what about you? I'll say more if you wish.. there was the time I turned orange juice into moonshine.. heh. It cost me a one inch scar in my right hand.. I just looked.. it is still there.. and still about one inch wide..

It's kinda weird. Shortly at the end of my way days.. I went back to school.. had no idea where the path would lead. I went to the community college on pell grants.. in a chemistry path. The grants went away mainly because my spouse didn't have a need for me anymore. Or some such reason. So I could not afford the environmental disposal fees for chem labs on my own. So I took what I had.. about 40 credits of math and general studies, to the closest four year school. My major changed from chemistry to mathematics. so two years later.. I have a bachelors in math.. what does one do with a degree in math.. not any local opportunities. The six (or ten, depending upon your point of view) year university offered a half a job, and no charge for classes.. ah.. a Field Promotion. A one week miracle training, and then instruct two classes.. I never taught a class in this manner. The first semester of teaching, the graduate assistants are HORRIBLE. I didn't choose the path, the path chose me.. the real strange part is.. this is the third year I'm on my own in the math profession.. and I feel like I've been doing it for thirty years.. sorry for the diary. Carry on, if you wish, friends.. :)

What does a corps grad certificate really "entitle" to an individual, and why? Just what I have observed.. some use it for a few different reasons.. Proof that an individual has survived four (or more) years of hazing, and have acquired the right to inflict the same kind of austerity and cruelty upon others.. A basis for requiring an income and worship from others because one is qualified to do so (j.l. and others) then there are exceptions. A few individuals I know consider the experience to be a small bump along the road of life..

Are you really suggesting.. that CG is (or was, for all we know at the moment..) a WITCH? hey.. Oh. What did the geermeister earn in his stay at da way.. a degree? Oh. corps graduate.. a plagiarizer, trained by a plagiarizer.. I guess that is some kind of degree.. really though.. what did he really "earn".. put up with enough of the old man's ill temper.. and one is entitled to what? A title perhaps? Entitlement.. that word has been thrown around a lot lately..

Bored? No. Though Wierstrasses theorem seems reasonable.. I'm still trying to figure out the latter half of his proof..

So.. what does this all mean.. heh. A person can take an infinite series of numbers, and depending on how you count them, once can produce any real number. Shuffle them around.. and one can get what one wants. Is this neat, or what? I wish Rummie was still with us.. he'd at least enjoy this. as a math instructor.. *they* want me to have students be able to work with inequalities.. on an Algebra level. so I show them less than in contrast to less than or equal to.. one set of numbers have a greatest member. The other, does not.

Jeesus f ing Christ. "those under your charge" are NOT some kind of subservient, paramilitary force.. they are supposed to be God's People.. yeah. .... the bastard in charge off with some violation of unspoken protocol.. yeah.. just send them all off in the night.. as some kind of lesson. To whom? Frigging idiots.. Morons.. no, *they* have NOT moved beyond wierwille. what if a "follower" refused sexual advances of one charged with oversight.. .... the "little" bastard off.. yep. Off you go..

This is still the sticky point, where we part company, you moron. Or the largest, most obnoxious sticky point. You are not God.. and never will be.. no, they have not moved beyond wienerville. the quote is from the newest course description.

Eventually we all will. Give up self-determination, that is.. Hopefully later than sooner. Eventually.. one will be forced to live in a residence, not of their choosing.. eat food prepared, not tempered with their own tastes.. bathed, when another decides it is the correct time on their schedule.. if one lives long enough. just a thought. even the Victoid ended up being an inconvenience on somebody elses schedule.. and the mrs. as well. at the moment, I question that assertion.

Hmmm. Maybe.. God wanted to be everything.. and struggles at trying to save every stinking fragment of Himself since eternity, or the big divide began.. Just a thought.

At the very least.. I have a lot to be thankful for Da Way. In a less than fifty percent of my lifetime, I've learned.. *almost* every conspiracy theory known to man.. the motivation for the arrogance of weird groups.. something along the line of: the I Am complex.. one more dialect of Nuttiness.

yeah. They were "lucky" as well.. I'm still trying to figure out what that is also..

Only wonderful, lovely, sexy old women could pull this song off in the real world. Period.

I say, look at the eyes.. rather dilated, are they not? I mean.. or do I not.. I tend to interpret reality in terms of chemical sobriety.. whatever happened to the lady here in question.. maybe it is just a question.

Don't say its too hard or incomprehensible. Weierstrass lived in the 1800's. He ran with a "bad crowd" though.. among whom included Dedekind, and the Heretic Himself, the Inventor of the Evil Numbers.. Cantor.

not quite.. On a graduate level I struggled with Real analysis.. now that I have a few minutes to breath.. I find that it is actually interesting.. the real number system.. is unbelievably comprehensible. I'm just looking at it in terms of the tools we use in a basic algebra class.. Now that I can actually enjoy it for what it is.. a convergent series, but not absolutely. One can with careful re-arrangement, approximate any real number. That is, if I understand this correctly. In other words. It looks simple.. 1 -1/2 + 1/3 - 1/4 + 1/5 - 1/6 ... this sums to a real number. If one chooses a different arrangement of the numbers.. one can produce any real number. That it is possible is one thing. To choose the correct re-arrangement is yet another. Weierstrass figured this one out. Not how to correctly choose, but that it is possible to so choose.. From a fundamental algebra point of view, yes, we know how to add fractions. Am I bored? No.

Hmmm. Maybe they are Alien Cats sent from the future, to observe Western Civilizations final Struggle against.. something or another..

What Maggie Muggins told us about wierwille.. maybe should have told us.. "and fer gawd's sakes, he could NEVER keep his hands to himself.." :o

Maybe we need a real visitation from the deity. It has apparently happened once. Or Twice. Maybe more times.. He holds the Majority of Creation. God bless Him.. he is God. A pale, white faced, embarrassed fruitcake .. need not apply.

Crying? The Sun will catch me laughing my a** off.
