Hey Ross, it's only a model.

Like sets are. Remember your Goedel. None of this matters. ;-)

But I am curious, how do you represent in code, in any language, the complement of "the set of all sets"? ;0)

And, set a property to be "Cardinality".

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
