Ethics [Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 1st period]
"Morning, class," Anakin began, striding to the front of the class. "Today we begin discussions about Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, though his influence stretched into many other areas of physical science as well. He believed that justice meant giving each person their due, or what they deserve. But how do we know what people deserve? What goods and opportunities should go to which people? Aristotle’s answer is that we have to consider the telos—the end or the purpose—of the good in question. For example, say we have some nice flutes. Who should get them? According to Aristotle, it’s not the rich person, since playing flutes has nothing to do with money. Nor is it the person who will be made most happy, since making good music is different than being happy. The purpose of a flute is to be played, and to be played well. So, Aristotle thinks, the flutes should go to the best flute players. Do you agree?"

Some people were just barbarians.

"Peter," Tony said, steeling himself for the most horrible conversation since he talked to his not!dad. "I wanted to apologize for punching you."
And your smug, smug face.
Re: Chat before class [10/25]
"That's very civil of you," he commented instead. "Apology accepted."
Re: Chat before class [10/25]
"Really?"
Re: Chat before class [10/25]
Or just unwilling to keep participating in this circus. Most likely that one.

"If you stop taking any painkillers, the bruises go away faster," he said, nodding once again before walking away.
Re: Chat before class [10/25]
He did have chips, though. But that was more a Topher thing than a mopey thing.
At the same time? He was totally not looking over at Tony
if he was there. At all. Maybe ever.Re: Chat before class [10/25]

Except that his voice cracked and that plan went to shit. Oops.

It hadn't been Saran-wrapped or refrigerated in over a day.

A beat. Then, more quietly:
"You didn't have to hit Peter, you know."

It was close enough for most people! You know, people who weren't persistent and kind of clueless. Sadly, Topher was not one such person.
