(source: Wikepedia) I remember him from college mostly because of the high respect he got in the Philosophy department, although I never really studied him.

It was clear many of the Pax have not seen this classic 1990 movie which is sad. It is a must watch. Before getting to the main dish, we hit the track and did a lap of indigenous people run/walk. Main qualifier was that we do it correctly-only one runner at a time or we would have a 5 burpee penalty. All was fine until…
