Okay, I just had to share this. I was in an Intro to Ethics class, and we were discussing Aristotle's virtue theory. To wit, it basically states that all virtues should strive to find the mean between deficiency and excess in that particular quality. To demonstrate, the professor described a soldier with an excess of courage thusly:

"Imagine a soldier who runs around waving his arms, screaming, shooting all over."

To which my first and only thought was:

"They don't like it when you shoot at them. I worked that out myself."

God, I love being a Browncoat.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

Is the prof a Browncoat?

May I assume he will be by the end of semester.
