I got an A- on my latest (and so far unrevised) philosophy paper.  Essentially, the paper was a commentary (in the legal sense) on an 1844 North Carolina Court Case.  My thesis?  The judge is wrong.  And he is.  In addition to the whole natural rights thing (the case concerns a law requiring free blacks, but not whites, to be licensed to carry a gun), he blatently ignores and misconstrues a previous case that his significant bearing on his own case.

Avec lAnneau, il peut conqurir le monde. Mais Sauron a perdu lAnneau dans une grande bataille dans lequel on la vaincu.  Mais on na pas le dtruit.  Et maintenant, quand le film commence, il cherche lAnneau.  Sil le trouve, il conqurira le monde.<br>	Qui la ?  Frodo Baggins, un hobbit.  Les hobbits ressembler aux hommes, mais un hobbit de taille moyen a un mtre.  Frodo ne sait pas que son anneau, que son oncle Bilbo lui a donn, est lAnneau de Sauron (comment Bilbo la trouv est une autre histoire), mais le magicien Gandalf, un ami de Frodo, a dcouvert que cest lAnneau et aussi que Sauron sait o il est et a envoy ses neufs sclaves les plus terrible, les Nazgl, pour tuer Frodo et lobtenir.  Donc il faut que Frodo fuie.  Gandalf dit a Frodo quil va consulter Saruman, un autre magicien, et quil reconnaitra Frodo dans la ville de Bree.<br>	Frodo, avec lAnneau, dpart son patrie, le Shire, avec ses amis Sam, Merry, et Pippen, qui sont aussi des hobbits.  Mais quand ils arrivent  Bree, Gandalf nest pas l.  Les hobbits nont pas de choix mais de suivre un homme qui sappelle Strider et qui dit quil et un ami de Gandalf.  Strider essaye mener les hobbits  Rivendell, o habite Elrond, un lutin trs sage et trs puissant.  Mais les Nazgl les trouvent et poignardent Frod avec un couteau magique.  Si on ne gurir pas le blessure, Frodo deviendra un sclave de Saron comme les Nazgl.  La seul personne qui a le pouvoir de gurir le blessure est Elrond.  Mais les Nazl attaquent encore avant que Frodo et les autres arrivent  Rivendell.  Pendant lattaque, Frodo svanouir.  <br>Quand il se rveiller, il est  Rivendell ; Strider a dfait les Nazgl et Elrond a gurit son blessure.  Gandalfest  Rivendell aussi.  Il ntait pas  Bree parce que Saruman, un tratre, la improsonn, et il dont a chapp aprs que Frodo est parti de Bree.<br>Elrond a un conseil o on dcide quil faut que lAnneau soit dtruit.  Mais il y a seulement un place o on peut dtruite lAnneau :   Mount Doom,  un volcan dans Mordor, le pays de Sauron.  Frodo dit quil prendra lAnneau  Mount Doom pour le dtruire.  Le conseil dcide que huit laccompagneront :  Gandalf, Strider, Boromir, un autre homme, Legolas, un lutin, Gimli, un nain, et les trois autre hobbits.  Ils sappellent la Compagnie de lAnneau.<br>Pour aller  Mordor, la Compagnie doit traverser les  Misty Mountains,  mais ils ne peuvent pas parce quil y a trop de neige.  Donc ils dcident daller sous les montaignes, cest  dire passer par Moria, lancienne ville sou-terrain des nains.  Mais il ny est plus des nains ; ils sont tout morts.  Dans Moria, la Compagnie est attaque par un dmon, le balrog.  Gandalf dfaite le balrog, mais il est tu.<br>La Compagnie continue tristement  Lothlorien, un fort magique des lutin.  Ils restent dans Lothlorien pendant plus quun mois.  Aprs que la Compagnie est partie, Boromir attaque Frodo et essaye de voler lAnneau.  Frodo lui chapp, mais il dcide continuer  Mordor tout seul.  Sam le suivre.  Aussitt que Frodo et Sam sont partis, la reste de la Compagnie est attaque par les  orcs  envoy par le tratre Saruman, qui veut lAnneau pout lui-mme.  Boromir, qui regrette avoir attaqu Frodo, est mort en train de dfendrant Merry et Pippen.  Les orcs enlevent Merry et Pippen.  A la fin, il reste seulement Aragorn, Legolas et Gimli.  Les trois jurent de sauver Merry et Pippen.<br>	Cest la fin du film.  Pour la deuxime pisode,  Les Deux Tours,  on doit attendre au dix-neuf dcembre.<br><p>Said summary translated courtesy of babelfish:<br>Here a summary of the film "The Fellowship of the Boxing ring" It there a ring, qu.on calls l.Anneau, which is cr by Saron, the Black Lord, in another time. With l.Anneau, it can conquer the world. But Sauron lost l.Anneau in a great battle in which one l.a overcome. But one n.a not destroys it. And now, when the film starts, it seeks l.Anneau. S.il finds it, it will conqurira the world. Who l.a? Frodo Baggins, a hobbit. Hobbits to resemble to the men, but a hobbit of size average A one measures. Frodo does not know only its ring, that his/her uncle Bilbo gave him, is l.Anneau of Sauron (how found Bilbo l.a is another history), but the magician Gandalf, a friend of Frodo, discovered that c.est l.Anneau and also that Sauron knows where it is and sent his new sclaves most terrible, Nazgl, to kill Frodo and l.obtenir. Thus it is necessary that Frodo flees. Gandalf says has Frodo qu.il will consult Saruman, another magician, and qu.il will reconnaitra Frodo in the town of Bree. Frodo, with l.Anneau, departure its fatherland, Shire, with his/her friends Sam, Merry, and Pippen, who are also hobbits. But when they arrive at Bree, Gandalf n.est not there. The hobbits n.ont not of choice but to follow a man who s.appelle Strider and which says qu.il and a friend of Gandalf. Strider tries to lead the hobbits to Rivendell, where Elrond lives, a very wise and very powerful imp. But Nazgl find them and stab Frod with a magic knife. If one not to cure not the wound, Frodo will become a sclave of Saron like Nazgl. Only the person who has the capacity to cure the wound is Elrond. But Nazl still attack before Frodo and the others arrive at Rivendell. During l.attaque, Frodo to s.vanouir. When it to awake, it is in Rivendell; Strider A demolishes Nazgl and Elrond A cures its wound. Gandalfest with Rivendell too. It did not n.tait in Bree because Saruman, a traitor, l.a improsonn, and it of which has escaped after Frodo started from Bree. Elrond has a council where one decides qu.il is necessary that l.Anneau either destroyed. But there is only one place where destroyed l.Anneau can: "Mount Doom," a volcano in Mordor, country of Sauron. Frodo known as qu.il will take l.Anneau with Mount Doom to destroy it. The council decides that eights will l.accompagneront: Gandalf, Strider, Boromir, another man, Legolas, an imp, Gimli, a dwarf, and three other hobbits. They s.appellent the Company of l.Anneau. To go in Mordor, the Company must cross "Misty Mountains," but they cannot parce qu.il has too much snow there. Thus they decide d.aller under the montaignes, c.est with saying to pass by Moria, l.ancian underground city of the dwarves. But it n.y is more of the dwarves; they very died. In Moria, the Company is attacked by a demon, the balrog. Demolished Gandalf the balrog, but it is killed. The Company continues sadly in Lothlorien, a magic forest of the imp. They remain in Lothlorien during more qu.un month. After the Company left, Boromir attacks Frodo and tries to steal l.Anneau. Escaped Frodo him, but it decides to continue in all alone Mordor. Sam to follow it. At once that Frodo and Sam left, remains to it Company is attacked by the "orcs" sent by the Saruman traitor, who wants l.Anneau pout itself. Boromir, which regrets having attacked Frodo, died in the train of dfendrant Merry and Pippen. The orcs enlevent Merry and Pippen. With the end, there remains only Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli. The three swear to save Merry and Pippen. C.est end of film. For the second episode, "the Two Turns," one must wait December nineteen. <br><br>           <font size="1">posted by Sims <a href="2002_10_20_simsworld_archive.html#83496430">12:16 AM</a></font> <a href="javascript:HaloScan('83496430');"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('83496430');</script></a><noscript><a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments.php?user=thesims&amp;amp;comment=83496430">Comments</a></noscript>      </blockquote>      <p>                  <br><h3>Thursday, October 24, 2002</h3>            <blockquote>  		  <a name="83462235">&nbsp;</a><br>           LOL.
