social contact
i went to lexington this weekend and visited brittany
it was nice to be able to get out and see people again
i don't have a lot of social interaction in bedford, and i was working 7 days a week this summer, so other than going to matt/laurie wedding in june i haven't seen many people
but now i have free weekends again so next weekend i'm going to purdue to fence and hang out with dancers and whomever else i still know there, and then after that is ernie's bachelor party so i'll be fighting the rapids and having a good time with that
alright, enough lollygaggin, time to clean this pigsty and get some company stuff done
ps is isolationism a realistic interaction policy with the rest of the world, and is the 'right to privacy' real or necessary, things to consider on a somber 5-year anniversary

Isolationism was abolished with the invention of the airplane. As this flying fortress took to the skies the vast bodies of water that seperated us from the conflicts of the remainder of the world. "It must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics." (George Washington's Farewell Address). His farewell address is the only reason that this issue gives us any pause. However, as the conflict overseas has progressed I do wonder if Washington, seeing the current conflicts in the world, would not have said 'stear clear of the entanglements and conflicts continually plagueing the Middle East.' It is an interesting debate and an excellent question, I thank you very much for posing it. Check out my conversational, thought provoking blog at infimprob.blogspot.com. Thanks.
