Oh,
      yes,
      the
     
     
      Philosophy
      Society
      is
      late
     
     
      in
      action
      this
      year
      due
      to
      too
      much
      time
      spent
      in
     
     
      intense
      theoretical
      contemplation
      concerning
      really
     
     
      nothing
      very
      important
      or
      even
      relevant
      at
      all.
      In
     
     
      conclusion,
      we
      have
      found
      that
      sometimes
      one
      must
     
     
      simply
      put
      down
      one's
      neurotic
      brain
      and
      act.
