1. Send in the Clones!

[leeroysphitz]

3. They lack a sense of purpose. It's inevitable...

[Hardrada]

7. Scary!!

[Bucky]

8. Something tells me THOSE clones would never see a day of service

But you are changing my mind on human cloning legislation

[NNadir]

17. Why would someone clone a coward for military purposes?

Wouldn't you want someone competent and brave?

2. Say Hello To The Lizards In The Lounge, Sir

"The mind wobbles...."

[Hardrada]

6. Methinks they remember me from previous sallies of wit

and imprecation. It is a relief sometimes from the vituperative exchanges in GD.

11. Just read your sig. "My object all sublime.." eh?

[The Magistrate]

12. From The Analects, Sir

Confucian thought fascinates me, and that is perhaps the core of the teaching....

[Hardrada]

13. I need to study more Far Eastern thought.

I was going to get a set of the Harvard Oriental Classics one time but did not follow through. When young, people were often explaining the I Ching to me but it never took root. Probably because of my commitment to existentialism-phenomenology.

[The Magistrate]

14. It Will Repay The Effort, Sir

If you do not mind a recommendation for a starting point, "The World of Thought in Ancient China" by Bernard Schwartz is an excellent one, that will equip you to press on onto the originals if you wish further exploration.

[Hardrada]

15. I'll take note of that one. I do have a book by Lin Yutang

about Chinese and Indian thought. I have read some Buddhist texts but not very recently.

[uppityperson]

4. I thought they were Druids

[madrchsod]

9. He did type "Druids!" Oh, you mean me. Yeah
