I surrender

In response to the website www.getafirstlife.com, the good folks at Linden Labs have sent a "Procede and Persevere" letter (the opposite of a "Cease and Desist" letter).

I've got a sudden urge to play Second Life. I like these guys.

Have not tried their brunch, but have generally enjoyed their food.

My first thought was "Farmer in the Sky movie?" Unfortunately, the website does not tell me much.

"[The President] shall, from time to time, give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." --United States Const., Article II Sec. 3.

I have a strong love of democratic processes and of history, coupled with a strong sense that our government depends more heavily on legitimacy than most folks believe. In theory, we have three co-equal branches of government. Each acts independently, but in concert and coordination with each other. It pains me to see the pathetic farce that now constitutes the "State of the Union" address.
