Interesting reading.

Hoss, beware of assumptions. Whatever you ''assume'' to be possible or impossible will have a tendency to become real for you.
Let's see, Dion: In one thread, within this forum, you said you did not have a crystal ball. Shortly after, you posted that you had brought your crystal ball to work with you. Can I "assume" that you just bought a crystal ball between those posts and that assumption is real, or would reality be that your crystal ball is strictly a figment of YOUR imagination, and your sense of reality changes between posts.
For me, reality exists only within what I touch, see, feel, and/or taste.

You're word for the day: SYLLOGISM, n. A logical formula consisting of a major and a minor assumption and an inconsequent. (See LOGIC.)
"You're" is a contraction for "You are". Are you saying, "You are word for the day "SYLLOGISM...?" That is, at best, very poor use of the English language, Dion. How can I be "word for the day?" Doesn't compute, STL.


Actually Dion, I like this syllogism definition better "deductive reasoning".

Ok, here is some more deductive reasoning for all:

In all reality, I don't think there is any chance of Dion becoming the D-2 VP. That would be too much of a slap in the face to the current AVPs. However I am no cherry to being wrong.

OTOH whoever runs for the job to fill DMs vacancy may well be "agreeable" to making Dion an Associate VP, therefore opening the door to whatever in the near future, even to not running against him in the next D-2 election 2 years from now.

If Dion does not want to be into that part of AMA, he could well be fit into a nice fat-cat job at AMA, where he could well push his school programs right from AMA headquarters. [X(]

It just really burns me that DM would pick this AMA amateur in which to sneak previews out to RCU people. As for the Fly RC ad, AMA is well aware of the timing of the magazine's publication schedule, therefore that leak just had to be planned.

As Franklin Roosevelt said, "Nothing in politics happens by chance. Whatever does happen, you can bet that it was planned." Far too many people in today's world just don't have the insight to see that as time unfolds. IMO, someone in AMA definitely has a personal agenda, and it doesn't appear that anyone will ever move to oppose it.

BTW, I got my invitation to attend an AMA sponsored Dinner in Muncie, Horizon Convention Center, to honor Dave Brown's 12 years as AMA Pres., Sat. Jan 26, 2008. How about that? I have no clue as to who all, how many, or any reason for my invitation, or whatever concerning this fiesta. Have to make my decision by Jan. 04. Could be a few answers to my deductive reasoning questions at that "hoedown".
