How it works:

Extraordinary things can happen when we ask extraordinary questions. This blog asks extraordinary questions in the form of outlandish statements. Sometimes I believe what I've posted. Sometimes I don't. This is not a blog about my political, religious, or philosophical views. It's a blog about thinking in different boxes or outside of the box altogether. Have fun. BRING FRIENDS!

Premise the 59th- Werewolves

Premise: 


Team Jacob Sucks.

More discerning werewolf fans are looking for something grittier... such as the werewolves portrayed in Wolf's Rise, Volume I of the LupoSapien Project, out December 20th on eBook, from very much gooder author Sevastian Winters, (Read the prologue here) and subsequent volumes, to come, Wolf's Cry, Wolfs' Falls, and Wolf's Retribution.

Plus, you should totally follow Buck Levins (a major character in the series) on Twitter


Assignment: Argue for or against the merits of this premise, using logic, sound reasoning, and where possible, citations (links) to back up your arguments.)

Caveat: You need not take the side that you actually believe. Sometimes arguing the other side is more fun.

GO!

Premise the 58th- National Defense

Premise: The U.S. Armed Forces have nothing to do with national defense.

A nation interested in national defense has an enormous Coast Guard, an unparalleled Border Patrol, and an unprecedented National Guard, while maintaining a joke of an Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corp.....NOT the other way around.

As such, we should change the names of some things.... such as "National Offense Budget" and "Secretary of Offense"...that or we could retreat to our pre-WWII stance on how we use our military. (Oh... and another defensive strategy for not getting hit... DON'T BE THE WORLD'S ASSHOLE!)


Assignment: Argue for or against the merits of this premise, using logic, sound reasoning, and where possible, citations (links) to back up your arguments.)

Caveat: You need not take the side that you actually believe. Sometimes arguing the other side is more fun.

Premise the 57th- Self Promotion


Premise: There is, despite any rumor to the contrary, such a thing as going too far with self-promotion...such as, for example, when you hijack your own just-for-fun blog simply to promote your brand new book on writing, marketing, and business,

How I are Becomed
