Civic Knowledge Test
I found an interesting civic knowledge test.‚ http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx Apparently, the average public servant scores lower than the average citizen.
I scored an 81% (27 out of 33).

“Self-Improvement Is Masturbation”
In the movie Fight Club, the character Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) states, “Self-improvement is masturbation”.‚ Durden is absolutely correct.‚ Whether you take this to be good or bad is dependent upon your view of what the act of masturbation represents: is it self pollution or positive self reinforcement.‚ To me, it is an act of positive self reinforcement since it releases you from your biological reproductive imperative to accomplish greater tasks.‚ … read more ““Self-Improvement Is Masturbation””
