That bit reminds me of the phrase, "I know I'm sane, because the voices in my head tell me so."

My former boss used to say that "it's ok to have a voice in your head as long as you don't answer back."  I'd always counter that if the voice asks a question it would be rude not to answer.  We eventually came to the compromise that it's ok to answer the voice in your head, but if a third party speaks up, get professional help. 

Of course this rule doesn't apply to writers.

Bwah ha ha ha ha!

Sorry, I felt like there needed to be some maniacal laughter to make this complete.

You can now resume your regularly scheduled head scratching.

Thanks for the links!  I know what I'll be reading this weekend!

Well you can forgive someone without necessarily having to trust them again. There are people in my past that really hurt me; I don't nurse a grudge against them, but I wouldn't trust them not to do the same thing again without some kind of proof. A large part of the point of Dalinar's viewpoints is that you can be honorable without being stupid.

That's very true.  Besides, Sadeas' crimes don't deserve death....just lots and lots of pain.  Hearing him scream and plead for mercy would be entertaining and satisfying, death would not.

So... you want him to become of the new heralds and scream in agony for a few millennium between each desolation?
but yeah, I agree. Sadeas will most likely end up redeeming himself in some way.

I don't necessarily want him to become one -- although the millennia of torture would be great -- but I do think that he will eventually become one just because he'd crap monkeys if Dalinar did something that he couldn't.

People who haven't read this series are sheep blindly following the Librarian dogma.

Dang, I sound like Glen Beck.  Will someone please smack me upside the head?

Last night I found the box my stash of tea got shoved in when we moved 2 years ago!  Yay!!!

I'm going to call it a tie since there's too many unknown variables.  Before throwing my support either way I'd want to know how many spare vials the Mistborn has with him/her since this could be a long drawn out battle.  Plus how strong in the One Power is the Asha'man?  If he's on par with Rand, then the Mistborn is gonna be toast.  But if he's not strong enough to open a gateway, than all the Aiel training in the world probably won't save him from a well aimed coin.
