Ron Paul collected necessary delegates from 6 States, enough to earn a Republican Nomination, but had the rules changed on him while on the convention floor by the Romney camp!

For readers that haven't got to that part yet, you stated "The main fnord in "Code Geass" is that even if you had the power to absolutely command anyone to do anything, you could not ultimately use that power for good." (BTW, this same principle is also one of the main ideas in the I, Robot/Foundation series by Asimov) If this principle is true, it has 3 implications: 1. SLH doesn't exist, or 2. SLH exists and is aware of it and actively chooses not to interfere, which has the same net result as far as we are concerned or, 3. SLH exists, is not aware of the principle but chooses to interfere, in which case he is not exactly intelligent, or worst, SLH exists, is aware of the principle but chooses to ignore it, in which case he is evil. <BR/><BR/>On a different note, excellent blog!

That seems like the only sensible course of action given the current circumstances.<BR/><BR/>The only way to be sure is to perform an experiment. This type of experiment cannot be performed alone.
