Intellectual Idol and Other Such Nonsense

Well, being in college, has me actually feeling rather intellectual these days. Although, I must admit that half of my classes still consist of coloring pictures... Anyways, I have been studying for a week straight. I have been doing work on an apologetic argument (if you are wondering what apologetics is, you should know that it is a class on the art of apologizing, which is an extremely necessary feat for any evangelical Christian) called "the argument from consciousness." I had to write this paper and give a presentation on it, and I havn't seen the light of day in a while. I am also learning about Einstein's general and special relativity in science, and I must say that it really blows my mind. I actually dreamed I was in a space ship watching the Doppler Effect and the dilapidation of time the other day. Yes, I know I have a problem.
Anyways, last night our floor threw an open house and we themed it around American Idol (with a twist); it was intellectual idol. We made our guests debate the following thesis: the practice of keeping animal pets is detrimental to society. Then, we judged them, and I was the "Simon character" if you know anything about American Idol. You might be suprised to find out that the affirmative side won, and we did decide that the practice of keeping animal pets is detrimental to society. What do you think?
