9/27    Inspired by http://home.lbl.gov:8080/~psb/Humor/wall.log-GiantBrain_of_JSL
        who do people think was the most clued politburo member?   The least
        clued?  I suspect I know Partha's answers, but anyone else have an
        opinion?
        \- There are plenty of people clued about operating systems you
           dont want writing or interpreting your constitution, running
           meetings, dealing with external persons etc. So it depends on
           the position. In the case of JSL the questions are: 1. how does
           that happen [did she beat someone in an election?] 2. is she
           better or worse than having nobody in the position. --psb

Boredcast Message from 'mehlhaff': Sun Jul 28 00:35:26 1996 since when has the VP really done anything over the summer? only time I've really seen the CSUa really don anything over the summer was during the soda hall move. Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:35:50 1996 you are seriously saying that you think csua president's opinion a bout the csua VP is "irrelvant"? Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:37:09 1996 what I am saying is that, my personal opinion doesn't matter. Or at least, it only matters as much as everyone elses does. Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:37:42 1996 thats a fine legal argument ... but you do have that right Boredcast Message from 'pld': Sun Jul 28 00:38:22 1996 how about your professional opinion Boredcast Message from 'peterm': Sun Jul 28 00:38:47 1996 you can't argue that your professional opinion is irrelevant Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:38:34 1996 we are not discuss the worth but the content of your opinion. as you suggest, it's up to others to assess the worth Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:38:42 1996 pld : glad you asked that. my professional opinion will balways be the general opinion Boredcast Message from 'pld': Sun Jul 28 00:39:14 1996 in make, is there a decent way to pass an extra param to the compiler when compiling certain files Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:39:12 1996 >you can't argue that your professional opinion is irrelevant but she can take the 5th.

Boredcast Message from 'pld': Sun Jul 28 00:39:58 1996 is psb a general Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:39:37 1996 I personally believe that. I can have a personal opinion, but as an elected representative I should be just that. Boredcast Message from 'peterm': Sun Jul 28 00:39:45 1996 it's the old dilemma: d'you want your politicians to have the courage of their convictions, or reflect the will of the populace, fickle as that may be? Boredcast Message from 'aaron': Sun Jul 28 00:40:23 1996 play on tbyte Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:40:26 1996 any i'm asking you what is the general opinion in this case. opinion" and the General Will are the same Boredcast Message from 'lindsay': Sun Jul 28 00:40:56 1996 are they sleeping in their vomit? Me, i'll put my money on it all my friends are drug fiends Boredcast Message from 'pld': Sun Jul 28 00:41:02 1996 Invoking man pmake in background Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:40:34 1996 peterm : I will of course present my personal opinions and argue for them However, I will prepresent the general opinion Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:41:33 1996 psb : okay, in this case i can honestly answer I don't know. We've been in office for so short a time I havne't gotten much feedback on how any of us are doing. Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:41:57 1996 >However, I will prepresent the general opinion it seems pretty hard to get you to present the general opinion Boredcast Message from 'pld': Sun Jul 28 00:42:18 1996 by prepresent, do you mean present first, or is it a typo for represent Boredcast Message from 'lindsay': Sun Jul 28 00:42:03 1996 pcp smack dope and speed that's what they say they all need all my friends are drug fiends Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:42:32 1996 present Boredcast Message from 'pld': Sun Jul 28 00:42:42 1996 Not to cloud the issue or anything Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:42:39 1996 psb : really? Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:42:27 1996 so all you know is that you share an opinion which you dont know? Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:42:50 1996 psb : as far as I know, I've run meetings and stated only personal opinions so far. It won't be until after the meeting and after the general will has been made known that I will act accordingly. Boredcast Message from 'jon': Sun Jul 28 00:43:49 1996 so you have no will of your own? Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:44:08 1996 jon : I have my personal oopinion as previsouly stated. Boredcast Message from 'jon': Sun Jul 28 00:44:41 1996 well not to burst any bubbles, but what I -- or the general will dictates -- want is not necessarily the same as 'good for the CSUA' Boredcast Message from 'mehlhaff': Sun Jul 28 00:45:26 1996 quite often, they re counter. Boredcast Message from 'jon': Sun Jul 28 00:45:18 1996 now to find out what the fuck kenji means when he says something is in the UCSEE library ... Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:44:38 1996 jon : I'll argue for what I believe, but if the majority is of a different opinion, than I have no choice but to concede. Boredcast Message from 'peterm': Sun Jul 28 00:45:35 1996 boy, people are getting themselves into trouble tonight Boredcast Message from 'psb': Sun Jul 28 00:44:00 1996 so currently you have no "professional opinion" since you have not yet been told what to believe professionally. i suppose that makes it a semantic matter whether or not this non-existent opinion is relevant or not. it's also somewhat curious to jsl> I plead the 5th when your honest answer emerges as "i dont know" Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:45:45 1996 I realize that what peopol decide could be bad, but if that's what they want. It's my job to give everyone all the facts and help them to decide whta's best. Boredcast Message from 'jon': Sun Jul 28 00:46:37 1996 and you rule the CSUA with an iron fist? Boredcast Message from 'peterm': Sun Jul 28 00:46:43 1996 that's not exactly how the representative model of gov't is supposed to work jsl Boredcast Message from 'jsl': Sun Jul 28 00:47:08 1996 peterm : please tell me how it's suposed to work then.
