@ThingsHidden You obviously have no knowledge of what Vassar is about or why people would want to go there to study. Judging a video from the look and grin of the person is very shallow. By making your comment so hideously evil and mean spirited you have shown your low depth of your understanding of a liberal arts education. Not every nation wants to be a Kiln maker.

Ich komm mir nicht bei diesem Grinsen klar. MIr kommt das vor als ob sie nichts an dem was sie spricht eigentlich glaubt. Ich habe dabei die Spazten in der Strasse gefrage, nach der alten Sitte. Die meinten das sie doch noch das Uebel das sie geschaffen hatte buessen muss mit Weihrauch an die Aufanen. Mal sehen ob dieses Video eigentlich einen Zweck hatt.

Lady Gaga, ya gotta love her. She's like Madonna on sodium pentathol, and the Aristohanic comedy at the end of a three week forced viewing 24/7 Antigone marathon.

Psychology, neurology, physics, and biology inform us that the soul is inseperable from the experiences of the body. It seems appropriate that people who use the Socratic method should know something of his life experiences in their bodies, rather than simply being to an academic manner born, and know nothing of that life of themselves.
