It's 2012. You're not worried about the plague. But do you trust everyone in the world who occupies a position of power over you, and doesn't corruption have a way of spreading like a disease? Thus the title of our theme for this meeting: "Corruption: the plague of modern society." Our impromptu speakers addressed a wide range of questions on this topic, including whether corruption should be a capital offense and what to do after you've been caught in acts of corruption (assuming the law does not say it is a capital offense).
In our prepared speeches session, our first speaker delivered a modern rendition of "Little Red Riding Hood." Our second speaker gave us practical advice on how to deal with the talkative, the argumentative, the uncommunicative, and the otherwise troublesome members of a group when you are leading a discussion.

196th Meeting
Math, clocks, years, alarms, schedules--you name it, and numbers are involved. Today we took a look at what each members considers a "Magical Number" from the golden proportion to the perfect time to arrive at work.
As a break from all the numbers, our members Xiang and Kalen gave prepared speeches on how to care for your lithium battery and a poignant anecdote describing why squirrels who know that acorns do not fall in piles will not be eaten.
Special thanks to Jag, our Toastmaster, and Jordi, our Table Topics master. Enjoy your week!

195th meeting
Our theme for this meeting was self-improvement. We proved that it is, in fact, possible to do some things by talking about them.
