London 2/26-3/6
So who's got something for me to do in Britain?
There is then a need to guard against a temptation to overstate the economic evils of our own age, and to ignore the existence of similar, or worse, evils in earlier ages. Even though some exaggeration may, for the time, stimulate others, as well as ourselves, to a more intense resolve that the present evils should no longer exist, but it is not less wrong and generally it is much more foolish to palter with truth for good than for a selfish cause. The pessimistic descriptions of our own age, combined with the romantic exaggeration of the happiness of past ages must tend to setting aside the methods of progress, the work of which, if slow, is yet solid, and lead to the hasty adoption of others of greater promise, but which resemble the potent medicines of a charlatan, and while quickly effecting a little good sow the seeds of widespread and lasting decay. This impatient insincerity is an evil only less great than the moral torpor which can endure, that we with our modern resources and knowledge should look contentedly at the continued destruction of all that is worth having. There is an evil and an extreme impatience as well as an extreme patience with social ills.
Yeah, that's about what I expected.

Just saw this. I'm a few hours away, but the only things I ever do in London are family friendly. Come to think of it, 90% of the things I do involve family.

Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become critics. They also misapply overly niggling inerpretations of Logical Fallacies in place of arguing anything at all.

I put it up, like 9 days prior. You guys know me. The way I travel, that's as soon as I knew.
Anyhow, yeah, it's too bad there wasn't a ton of free time. Otherwise I would have tried a quick hop over on the cheap airline.
Anyhow, I don't really have any of your phone numbers.
