ya know Rodney..............

Enlightened absolutism (also called by later historians benevolent despotism or enlightened despotism) is a form of absolute monarchy or despotism in which rulers were influenced by the Enlightenment. Enlightened monarchs embraced the principles of the Enlightenment, especially its emphasis upon rationality, and applied them to their territories. They tended to allow religious toleration, freedom of speech and the press, and the right to hold private property. Most fostered the arts, sciences, and education.

Enlightened absolutists held that royal power emerged not from divine right but from a social contract whereby the ruler had a duty to govern wisely.

The difference between an absolutist and an enlightened absolutist is based on a broad analysis of how far they embraced the Age of Enlightenment. For example, although Empress Catherine II of Russia entirely rejected the concept of the social contract, she took up many ideas of the Enlightenment, being a great patron of the arts in Imperial Russia and incorporating many ideas of enlightened philosophes, especially Montesquieu, in her Nakaz, which was meant to revise Russian law.

In effect, the monarchs ruled with the intent of improving the lives of their subjects in order to strengthen or reinforce their authority. Implicit in this philosophy was that the sovereign knew the interests of his subjects better than they themselves; his responsibility to them thus precluded their political participation

you have given and given, now crack the whip and decree a meeting location. in the best interest of The Club.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I stand before you after pleading my case and my concerns and I admit defeat. The majority has spoken.... Randy's it is, but I caveat this request by the club.

1) Meeting times start as usual, 6:30 with the actual meeting starting at now at 7:15. This should allow us time to eat, have the presentations and wrap up and not hold up Randy's.
2) I respectfully ask Stephen to wrap up all communications with Randy's and to set expectations of our club meeting since he started the initial communications.
> We need a dedicated area to sit
> Understand we may run past their 8p closing time
> Inform Randy we will meet in March on the 14th as a trial run
3) I will inform Carl and ME of the meeting location to reflect changes on the web page and popups.
4) I will cancel the meeting at RH&B for March

That is all....

When I said less talky talky, I meant let's cut about 20-30 min out of the autox report. :stick:

We won't go through every class (esp. classes of just one) of who won what because as James M. said, everyone that's interested was pretty much there or saw the results online. We will be giving 'props' for THSCC'ers that travel to larger events though. :thumbsup:

We can cover highlights, close classes, & maybe top ten Pax/Rawrrrr.

I know...we are going to have to start making "That's what HE said" jokes. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

He just does it because he knows how much it bothers certain people to see or hear my name.

:lol:
