Some evidence for my point. Captain Obama for President.

Wow, I had no idea the extent we’ve gone to with the emotional manipulation. If I weren’t so busy ROFLing about plastic babies and fake spirit toddlers, I’d be ill.

We damage our teenagers this way. When they think the Spirit feels like a chick flick, it doesn’t take many chick flicks before they 1) decide that Jane Austen is doctrine; or 2) discover they’ve been fooled. I’m not sure which is more dangerous.

I used to feel bad about my jaded teenage attitude toward certain youth activities. Now I think I was usually right.

#’s 7 and 9; Thank you for discussing the missionary voice. I thought that maybe I was the only one noticing it, and good lord it drives me crazy. It is so absolutely insincere sounding and irritating that I have actually stopped having the missionaries over for dinner.

I am pretty good at mimicking accents from around the world, but I must admit that the American missionary accent has eluded me for months, and I am actually trying really hard to master it.

I’m pretty sure the entire crew of the Enterprise would vote for Obama, except Kirk, who would vote for McCain. I think Obama would make a great President of the Federation. Think how sharp he would look in that uniform!!

By the way, the needs of the many do NOT outweigh the needs of the few or the one. The many is an abstraction. The one is the vessel of life. By the time you really think the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one you are well on your way to Cultural Revolution. Spock as Mao. “Religion is poison. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. From now on, one plastic baby per family! Live long and prosper. Party at the reeducation camp!”

Unless I am sorely mistaken, wasn’t that wedding reception in the Skyroom at the Wilk? Niiiiiiice.

Jessawhy–Oh my goodness!! Aside from the manipulation, isn’t that pretty reckless to bring little kids on a potentially dangerous camping trip? They’re lucky there wasn’t a real mishap.
