Well, it's after midnight, but I haven't gone to bed yet, so I'm going to consider it still a seminar night.  

And what, you may ask if you don't know me personally, is a seminar night?  Well, the school I go to runs on a great books program.  So we learn via reading the works of Western Civilization's great authors and then talking about them.  Many of these works are broken up into subjects.  We take math, language, laboratory science, music...and seminar.  If seminar doesn't sound like a subject, that's because it isn't.  It's the catchall class -- a little history, a little literature, a little philosophy, etc.  Point is, on the nights we have that class, I'm pretty much guaranteed fodder for deep thought.  Sometimes it's a little overwhelming, so don't expect every post to be about Kant or Locke.  Still, I figure if all else fails and my life is otherwise boring, I can make something up about them.  This is why I promise(ish) to post on those days.  It's for my convenience, really.  

And, just so tonight isn't only about scheduling, here's a thought:  When one encounters two situations that can lead to negative outcomes, is the lesser of two evils the one that leads to them less frequently but more egregious ones, or the one that leads to them more frequently but less egregious ones?
