Life of Pride
Sunday, June 26, 2005
 
Only a couple minutes to post today... I have to go walk 15 minutes back to the dorm, change clothes, and walk 15 minutes back up this same road to dinner. :D I just want to say a few things about the neat perks of this conference. They take us out somewhere nice to eat every night. I get to talk to people about de Tocqueville - people who don't go to PHC and yet know what they're talking about! Sometimes they have different perspectives than I'm used to, and they teach me things! It's wonderful. :)

It's amazing how many people here have this entire list of all conservative colleges memorized, with a complete ranking of which is best in which area, and which professors have written what. I don't know that stuff. I know historians, many many ancient and medieval people, and a few recent philosophers, but I don't know who is scuffling with whom, and why. I sit and listen.

Also, people here like theorizing. They start drifting off into grand theories all the time, and have to be pulled back down by historical fact. In one way, it is entertaining. :) In another, it is disturbing. I think, this is how trouble starts. Important people start theorizing, and there's nobody who dares to pull them back down. I'm glad I'm a History major, because I tend to stay anchored that way. :)

OK, that was a few random ramblings. Hey everyone! Gotta run.

Nate! You haven't posted to your blog for well over a month!?

Why blog? Everyone's doing it. Normally that would be enough to keep me far, far away, but the concept is too cool. Spread your personal thoughts to the world - far better than talking, because you can say anything, and you don't need the courage to look someone in the eye. So, with these reasons in mind, I have embarked. Enjoy, or not, as the case may be. I know I will.
