…Prince Thun : Your Majesty, we, the people of Ardentia, we have suffered since you blasted our kingdom. I can offer you nothing this year, except my loyalty…
…Klytus : Prince Thun, we prize nothing more highly. And tell us, how great is this loyalty to your emperor?…

…The Emperor Ming : We are delighted to hear it; fall on your sword…

Testing for regurgitation of memorized facts tests for the ability to memorize facts. Teaching the ability to think for oneself must be tempered with teaching the ability to recognize the difference between facts and wild opinion – i.e. a solid understanding of the scientific method.
I hate when this happens! I also hate the fact that FA is unfairly getting screwed! Can you believe this? This cartoon, original, funny, weird, thought provoking, artistic, brilliant ideas is being left out in the “new streamlining” event of GC! I have to say, the many followers are SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF! AND here, are so many OTHERS on this site who only post once a week, a month, and here, FA is a daily constant, with new and fresh toons, ideas and refreshing humor! I would THINK that’s what “GC” is looking for….a brilliant master mind of humor and wit! EVERY DAY ! I’m sure if FA is cut, many paying patrons will cease to exist…and thus cutting into the GC budget….now does that sound like a reasonable thought? What business TODAY, WANTS TO LOSE MONEY? ?
And perhaps herein lies the rub with the Frog Applause conundrum. Those outside the herd mentality are rarely appreciated in their time. But, we shall not surrender!
Cut up some of the fallen limbs in the yard and brought them in to lay a fire in the fireplace. The “kindling” turns out to burn quite hot, but also somewhat slowly. The warmth supplied by an armful of normal wood can be produced by a handful of these sticks, and they produce nearly no ash. I have never seen anything like it. There is enough, I think, stacked outside, to last several seasons here. There was frost this morning. I could have used a fire last night, but hadn’t known that I didn’t need to bring in wood. Whatever it is, this material is dense, yet lightweight. I’m guessing there is some sort of natural polymerization creating long carbon chains that break down slowly, but have a high energy density. It looks like the oxidization is entirely superficial, and the sticks sort of “melt” as they burn. As I have time now, I will conduct a search of the house and outbuildings for a clue as to where I am. Wherever it is, I’m pretty sure it isn’t “Kansas”.
When did this “thinking for yourself” fetish become the New Normal? What we need is more Herd Mentality! Uniformity! Compliance! Yes, even Group-Think!
