Any more? # 16

Then I offer some modern Laws of Thought:

The law of excluded middle (that anything must be either P or not-P)

The law of non-contradiction (that nothing can be both P and not-P)

The law of identity (that if a thing is P, then it is P)

The law of causality

Memory fails me. Any more?

Honestly, I really don't get your distinction (Steven said: "Well, I used the dictionary to look up the meaning of a word (two, actually). That’s within the bounds of proper usage.") between what you did in this post and what I did <a href="http://poliblogger.com/?p=7611" rel="nofollow">here</a>. But, oh well. . .maybe you'll have time to explain it to me IN PERSON some day. *gasp* *turns blue* *passes out* :) Obviously I was just teasing you, not really trying to provoke you, but. . .

That's within the bounds of proper usage. Using it as the basis for a more complex concept is a different issue. Well, I used the dictionary to look up the meaning of a word (two, actually).

On the other hand, I can see it didn't work out too well for you either. ;) Now tell me, why is it that you can use the dictionary to define complex terms and I can’t?

I know no more than any member of the general informed public about Miers' suitability for a seat on the SC and so spend my time until the hearings in informative argumentation with others on your blog. What I am most satisfied with is The Bush II administration. Meeting of the minds–maybe.
