Today started off with one hell of a rainstorm just before it was time to get out of bed.  On most any other day, I would have been tempted to stay and sleep in.  Alas, duty called in the form of work today.   Overall, it was a much more productive workday.  It tends to be that way when people get the hell out of my way.

I enjoyed writing a commentary on that idiotic James Fallows article tonight. That endeavor raises a number of interesting issues, such as the whole Peikoff/Kelley dispute over the nature of ideas (and whether ideas can be morally good or bad).  It also raises questions in my own mind about copyright -- since the article is freely available online, and since my own commentary changes the original significantly, is it "fair use" to post it on the net?  I am assuming the answer is yes.  I suppose when the Atlantic Monthly gets all upset about the thing, I will know otherwise.  *laugh*  In any case, the Fallows article is unbelievable in its intellectual dishonesty.  Quite a smear piece.

The workout was tiring tonight, and that coupled with this minor amount of writing and html work has left me exhausted.
