An Asian nodermeet, you say?
You heard right, tiger. Simple question: given enough time (approximately one year), would you consider attending a nodermeet in Japan or southeast Asia? (Thailand, Vietnam, or Laos in particular?) If there's enough interest, I'll take care of the rest.
Excalibur: Who can honestly say they don't have a child imprisoned in their basement for sexual purposes?
Excalibur: People fuss too much about these things.

bosses and offices on automatic drip
they've got the keys to the city
but we've got a lot of shakin' in our hips
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
I am interested in hearing noder responses to the so-called "Klosterman Questions."
Featured Question:
(/msg me with your answer and, if you please, your reasoning.)
It is 1933. You are in Berlin, Germany. Somehow, you find yourself in a position where you can effortlessly steal Adolf Hitler's wallet. This theft will not affect Hitler's rise to power, the nature of World War II, or the Holocaust. There is no important identification in the wallet, but the act will cost Hitler forty Reichsmarks and completely ruin his evening. You do not need the money. The odds that you will be caught committing this crime are less than 2 percent.
Are you ethically obligated to steal Hitler's wallet?
Every addiction, she said, was just a way to treat this same problem.
Drugs or

Language, she said, was just our way to explain away the wonder and glory of the world.
To deconstruct. To dismiss.
She said people can't deal with how beautiful the world really is.
How it can't be explained and understood.

I had to remove my address. I live in a small town in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It's so small, in fact, that a Google search for said town returns this homenode as the second or third entry, meaning that students and faculty are stumbling upon my homenode. This is unacceptable for a variety of reasons. If you'd like to send me mail, I'd love to receive it, but you'll have to ask for the address.
p.s. - if you ever decide you'd like to add Japan to the list of places you've visited in the world, I bet I can help you.

Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious
as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe.
There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums.
There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines. - R. Buckminster Fuller
In a town, there are houses, plants in bay windows. People notice dying better. The dead have faces, automobiles. If you don't know a name, you know a street name, a dog's name. "He drove an orange Mazda."
