Quite the philosopher this evening. I like your message. As far as the Book Club selections and our discussions, I think listening to 15 history lovers' perspectives is great, whether it is a new book or old. Amazingly, more often than not, we all agree. Having stated this, it is invigorating when one of the members disagrees with the rest. Usually, I'm caught off guard and can't put my mind around their ideas. However, after the meeting, maybe in the middle of the night, I come to realize that they had a valid point. As you have mentioned a number of times over the last several evening writings, you enjoy those discussions where people are coming from different points of view.

Interestingly, I immediately knew what song you had chosen when you typed Galileo. I have always liked this song but, honestly, had never really listened to the entire verse. Because the video clip included subtexts, it all made sense. Great music, wonderful writing. I am in awe of how writers of songs get these thoughts for the lyrics and then can put them to music.

I love West Wing. I've watched all seven seasons several times.

I humbly offer this video clip in response to Mark's thesis.

Love it Michael. I genuinely want to hear comments and feedback and can live without the likes. This is a remarkable reference from the past. I always loved that show.

Michael, I don't think I have had the honor of meeting you, but my wife and I share the love of West Wing. I find it remarkable that you remembered this scene and the reference to Galileo. We only watched the original showing but now, I need to watch them again.
