Just finished The Wise Mans Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. My god is that trilogy good. I find myself at one of those inevitable losses that we experience while reading any series before its entierty has been published. Such a strong need for more with no way to fill the space. Maybe I will catch up on WOT finally. Just cant wait for The next book in the Kingkiller Chronicles!

I will have to side with renoard here. Although medics are important I would have to say that soldiers have always and still are more important. Although one can sympathize with the fact that soldiers by nature are fairly uniform with eachother so I can understand non-descript.

Man I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. Just wanted to drop a line from Kyrgzstan. I expect to be a ghost on here for a while just catching up to speed. might drop a few posts. You never know.

Hey miyabi, no worries guy. I'm getting deployed on my daughters second birthday. Not even allowed to see her. Fun stuff!

Ok so here is a major issue. Yes Chaos as the "HoA" should have DevineRight^TM. To a degree, I mean if he really is the "HoA" then he wouldn't need to do what the people want because he is a god and therefor has limitless power. My only issue is that TLR thought himself to be the "HoA" as well and was indeed not. He lived in a delusion for a thousand years and in the end the only thing he accomplished was surviving long enough for the real "HoA" to take over. So if Chaos is TLR and is then given the post of "HoA" then is he not a false god? If he was the real "HoA" then he wouldn't need to proclaim DevineRight^TM because he would already have it. This leads me to think that he is a pretender to the throne and should therefore be removed.

Also as far as I can tell there are no rules against voting him out without evidence. Maybe in the US there are but not in Elends kingdom. This is more a vote of no-confidence than anything else.

So once again we find ourselves remembering this day and all those we have lost. We remember the ongoing conflicts that were spawned on that awful day eight years ago. Although I did not loose anyone on that day I feel like I owe those who were lost. I owe the soldiers who have given their lives for this country in the name of this struggle. Political beliefs are irrelevant on this day. Today is a day for remembrance. Remember that we as a country were forever changed on this day. If you find yourself around a flag today take some time to really look at it and what it really means. 9-11 will live on in our hearts and although the patriotism that followed that fateful day was bound to fade, remember that it is also in our hearts always.

That makes sense, thanks.

I agree that Elantris had an amazing cover. One of my favorites. I am patial to the hardcover of HoA but thats just me.

That's debatable. We could always find out how "victorious" I really am if you want.
