How many times have you read something that referred to a human's circumstance as being entirely based on the day and night requim of life by the equator. Almost to the point of arrogance. An apologist may rationalize that this circumstance amounts to a understandably provincial outlook. Laws, culture, and even life and death decisions are made based on the rising and setting of the sun. Using Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics a person may examine life from the vantage points of what is extreme, intermediate, and defective. Surely, a non-equatorial perspective assists in a mature outlook. A well rounded education will take you beyond your equator to live a life beyond clutching at a orderly day and night sequence for the rest of your life. Yes, yes, I know, that is where you are at though. Peachy. How's that for a vegetation metaphor. Besides, everybody knows people at the equator have real short ones.
Another facet of evaluating the polar extremes from the vantage point of the Dark and Light sides of the Bipolar Religion is that you will begin to see what a marvelous design our earth has in that the 28 degree tilt of the earth gives us seasons and yes, days and nights, which plants need. The richness of earth is multiplied when viewed through is contrasting geographical conditions. Become as rich as earth my brothers and my sisters.
In Defense of Analytic Philosophy Wow! Here is a whooper. If you can make it all the way through this article you should feel proud. I would think the fact I have two poles would be an example of Methodological Pluralism.
Apply for membership in the Bipolar Religion. Of course you have to like a whole lot of it. The good thing about it is that it can be either light or dark. Note: We do not discriminate against equatorial people. We just think your decision to live in increments of twelve hour days and twelve hour night is really weird. Weirdos!
Membership has reached a new high in the Bipolar Religion. The exciting thing is most of them profess to be pole worshippers. Bless their hearts.
For those people who suffer from being bipolar we know now that your bipolarness in the long run has substance. So rather than seek medical treatment for being Bipolar, refine your disease, macerate in it, go lock yourself in the closet and practice it.
Russia to Claim North Pole
Russia is planting their flag under the sea at the North Pole today (8/4/2007). The plan to place the Russian flag underneath the ice and directly on the sea bed is an effort to ensure that the world is aware of Russia's claim on the North Pole as part of the country's Exclusive Economic Zone. Two small submarines will dive from a surface research ship to plant the flag. A member of Russia's parliament will be on board one of the subs. This is the first I've heard of underwater flag planting and it will be interesting to see if Russia's claim is acknowledged through this act. Canada and Denmark are also very interested in maintaining claims to the Arctic. The New York Times has more.
