I'm sorry about the whole impromptu speech thing. I tend to do that when I'm talking about things that I feel very strongly about. Of course, it's also probably because I've been reading too much Tolkien (if that's possible!). <BR>I'm known as the Instant Speech-Maker at my school. If someone needs to make a speech, or a persuasive presentation, they always come running to me, because I'm good with things like that. In fact, just the other day I used the "Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?" on a parent who was trying to get a couple of books banned (Stranger in a Strange Land and Brave New World). <BR>My reasoning was that you can't hide things from children forever, so banning books with sex in them from school won't accomplish anything. It will only cause a new generation of repressed people. No parent wants their kid to turn out as a repressed psychopath. Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for? '<BR>Needless to say, the parent backed down after that!
