WELL: Duke basketball campout was this weekend, which I found really tested the outer limits of people's sanity--nowhere else would I find myself defending the ontological reality of moral judgments from a skepticist nihilist at 4:00 in the morning. The definite most quotable moment of the weekend goes to Duke President Richard Broadhead, though, when discussing how we'd all come running whenever the organizers blew a whistle:
"this is sort of like a fascist summer camp... (loud cheering from the crowd)...(looks at the program organizers behind him)... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I only said it was like a fasicst summer camp."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
