Interesting people say interesting things. Four of the most interesting people are inextricably linked in ways too numerous to count and essentially bridge the gaps between philosophy, politics, Jedi guruism and music: existential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, uber-politician Bill Clinton, Jedi master Yoda and Radiohead frontman/lyricist Thom Yorke. Take our quiz and find out how much you can recognize, or have retained, from the universal truisms uttered by each over the years.

Interesting...though the quiz is limited to Christian theology. (I'm assuming that "Liberal" here is not a political identifier.)

What's your theological worldview? created with QuizFarm.com

You scored as Classical Liberal You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.

Nothing new or unusal. Now...what do I do about it? I have to figure out how to do it on little to no money (ie: No school...)

Per Lisa:

Here's how you play:

Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment (you're it) and to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

1: "Alex" is my full name...it's not short for anything else.

2: I used to collect buttons & pins iwth a variety of sayings & locations. Have a large display of them (Current fave: Rock is dead...long live paper & scissors)

3: Since this is a family channel I'll quote a button: I only look sweet & innocent.

4: I have what I call my "serial killer vibe." I've had no end of peple say: I thought you hated me when we first met. [WTF? I think to myself. I have to know you to hate you!] This also qualifies for "If I Could Change 1 Thing About Myself" item

5: My favorite job was retail bookselling. But I'm more fond of eating, so...

6: I am a great listener...a friend of mine once said: You should be a Catholic priest. (Take it for the compliment that was intended)

7: Babylon 5 is, to date, my favorite TV show

8: I'm re-growing my ponytail.

9: It's been a long long time since I've felt that cold red rage...I don't miss it

10: tbd



i don't know 10 people well enough to "tag" them...so if you haven't participated & want to...please do...

meme
The American Library Association tracks challenges against books made in school and public libraries across the country. Remember, for every challenge recorded, there are four or five that are not -- and some of those regrettably lead to a book being pulled from the shelf, especially in school libraries.

From the 100 Most Challenged Books 1990-2000, bold the ones you've read and pass on the meme. If you're committed to the freedom to read and to publish, pick one off the list that you haven't read and exercise your library card or better yet, buy one for a child :-D

"...But this is his old friend Klaus Ebert's business. Tolonen saw the man as a brother, and he goes about this buisness as a brother would"
"True enough," Li Yuan said thoughtfully.
