The mind doesn't work as well, either, at least in some ways, correct? The president of our college does seminars with our students, and also with wealthy and usually middle-aged plus supporters of the college, and he says the young people understand and learn better every time.

In some ways, yes; in other ways, no. But IMO the benefits are still well worth it

Entmoot Issues
Interview with an Anonymous Presidential Candidate
Hector: So you're running for Prez? Anon: Yes, I am. Hector: I would like to ask you about your stance on some of the most important issues here at Entmoot; the first is, what is your position on MootCare? Anon: Well, MootCare is exactly what it sounds like: moot. It doesn't really do anything for anybody, yet it costs millions to keep running. I'm definitely going to scrap it if I become president. Hector: What do you think about Mordor? Would you preserve a good relationship with them, despite the rumors that they are manufacturing WMD by the load? Anon: Well yes, I would try to keep up a relationship with them. They are, after all, our economic rivals and there is no getting around that. And while we're on this subject: Moot-Mart should NOT be allowed to allowed to export labor- Hector: Doesn't that sound contradictory; you say we should keep a good relationship with Mordor, but Moot-Mart shouldn't employ their labor? Isn't that part of the realtionship? Anon: You're right, and I'm glad you brought that up. Other politicians say that kind of thing: they are against one aspect, but totally against another. You can't do that, you have to go for or against the whole thing. Hector: (...?) Ok...who would you appoint as Administraors and Moderators as President? Anon: I would definitely appoint people that I think competent; I've never been a fan of incompetent mods. Hector: Yes, but who specifically? As you know we are short on present Admins, and long on Absent ones. We obviously need a new competent Admin at the top, capable of handling responsibility and power. Anon: Absolutely right we do! I mean, if we don't have good leadership, what DO we have? That's why I'm running Hector. I think this country is in big trouble. Hector: Are you saying my policies haven't worked? Anon: No! Of course not. I'm not saying that at all. But in the future, you know, I can see it...trouble for this country, beyond your term I predict disaster. Hector: You mean in your term? Anon: No! But IF I didn't become President, thats what could happen. Hector: ...all right, we're off the original question. WHO would you appoint as an Admin? Anon: *looks thoughtful*...someone with extraordinary skills... Hector: Such as.... Anon: Such as- Hector: What about Earniel? Anon: Exactly. He was my natural pick. Hector: She. Anon: Right- Hector: Next issue. The elves are expanding their nation through peaceful warfare. A lot of people are afraid they might get too close to us geographically. Anon: That's a real concern, isn't it? I mean, here we are here, and they're coming in droves. We should do everything in our power to make sure they don't try to take over Entmoot. Hector: And that wraps up the time we have Senator, thank you for beign here. *shakes Senator's hand* Anon: Thank you for having me.

The newest scandal.
MOOTNEWS OUTLET
"Don't wait for download, plug in to the Outlet." Has lameduck Entmoot President Hector Berlioz already compromised his position as election supervisor by engaging in hankypanky with an unnamed presidential aspirant? You be the judge. Our outlet sources tell us that berlioz, whose scandal plagued administration continues to display enormous, if fickle, partisanship in the current election, has been seen cozying up to an unamed candidate. Here's part of the transcript. Quote:

Maybe it's time for some press censorship, Hector, if that's within your power?

Good plan. What's the point of being President if you can't throw people in jail?

I don't want to start any more rumours... but have you been throwing people in jail all this time? Is that where all the mooters who mysteriously stop posting really disappear to?

I already gave Amnest International (aka A.I: Artificial Intelligence), the boot

I think he's been throwing a bit more then members in there, because i think we've sold our Admin and Mod problem, of where the hell they've been.

You can't, as that would be considered unfair, and the people would make me president instantly, because of my hardship

Dont you dare Hector, Sis shall not be thrown anywhere. You might be president, but you wouldnt last long if I were to withdraw the support of the Merry Banditos. Not to mention HALF the income of the Badden Oil fields, which I have been letting you use.
