heys guys! elias told me to post smthing so here i am...
thinking of something to post....
still thinking at 10 p.m.....
stilllll thinking at 10.22p.m....
ok here it is..
let me start by saying....
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE IS OUT ON THE 16TH OF JULY!!!!
so anyway from recent reports everything indicates that this will be the best HP film yet so watching it is a must.
since the MYE's are officially over... take a short breather before the final run in to the end of year promos..
anyway... i cant think of anything so im just gonna write a short paragraph from a book by orson scott card.
A great rabbi stands teachiing in the marketplace. It happens that a husband finds proof that morning of his wife's adultery, and a mob carries her to the marketplace to stone her to death. (I'm sure most people have heard the familiar version so here's a tale of 2 other rabbis who faced the same situation) The rabbi walks forward and stands beside the woman. Out of respect for him,the mob forebears , and waits with stones heavy in their hands. "is the anyone here," he says to them, "who has not desired another man's wife or another woman's husband?" They murmur and say, "we all know the desire, but none of us acted upon it." The rabbi says, "then kneel down and give thanks that god had you strong." He takes the woman by the hand and leads her out of the market. Just before he lets her go, he whispers to her, "Tell the magistrate who saved his mistress.Then he'll know I am his loyal servant."
So the woman lives because the community is too corrupt to protect itself from disorder.
Another rabbi, another city. He goes to her and stops the mob, as in the other story, and says, "Which of you is without sin, let him cast the first stone." The people are abashed, and they forget their unity of purpose in the memory of their own sins. Someday, they think, I may be like this woman, and I'll hope for forgiveness and another chance. I should treat her the way i wish to be treated.
As they open their hands and the rocks drop to the ground, the rabbi picks up one of the fallen stones, lifts it high above the woman's head and throws it straight down with all his might crushing her skull and dashing her brains onto the cobblestones.
"Nor am i without sin." he says to the people, "but if we allow only perfect peopel to enforce the law, the law will soon be dead, and our city with it."
So the woman died because the city was too rigid to endure her deviance.
The famous version is note-worthy because it is so startling rare in our experience. Most cities lurch between decay and rigor mortise and when they veer too far, they die.
When i first read this i found it interesting because all i've ever heard was the "original version". Much like the numerous variations of the tale of "the tortoise and the hare" each version gives us a new insight and forces us to change our original mindsets with each new version of the tale.
Using such a story as an anecdote for future GP (oh god gp... NOOOOO) essays might boost your score.. just remember to cut down the words or the anecdote might fill up half your essay. =)

Yeah I know most of you guys (unlike me) have worked your *Insert body part here* off during the holidays mugging for the *Insert vulgarity here* MYEs and trying not to fail your *Insert weakest subject(s) here*. So yeah here's a bit of crap to lighten up the mood before the promos come. In about 4 months :x. In your darkest times of need, when you are struggling to cope with stress, just remember, that STANDARD ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION IS THE HEAT PRODUCED WHEN ONE MOLE OF REACTANT IS BURNT COMPLETELY IN EXCESS OXYGEN. Enjoy =)
