This review was not easy to write. It really wasn't. We had to go through more trouble than usual to get to the truth about this group. We can almost guarantee that whatever you've heard about it, no matter who you've heard it from in the past, isn't true. To listen to the "elders" in the "Pagan community" which the House was once part of, Tamara Siuda, its leader and founder, is a cut-rate Jim Jones, presiding over a totalitarian subculture in which she does all of her followers' thinking for them. To listen to the House, she presides over a civil community devoted to piety, serious scholarship and free and open discourse. The truth lies somewhere in between.

Relations between us and the House got off to a rocky start within a few hours of our first contact with them. A mini-review of the House had been placed on the old Agora Pagan listings site, generally favorable, but expressing some reservations over what was perceived to be a dogmatic tone in some of the theological writings. (The issue was with what was perceived to be a flat claim that the Ancient Egyptians were monotheistic, a position that, while quite respectable, reportedly was not established fact in any real sense; contrary views, also apparently quite respectable, weren't mentioned).

Some concern was expressed over Ms. Siuda's claims to carry the "kingly ka"; ie. the spirit of Heru (aka the god Horus), and to full trance possession by the Egyptian gods. This was a matter of no small concern in her own past community, the Reader Circuit, of which the House was once part. There, one of the elders, who is referred to one this site by the pseudonym of "Bob Loomis", mentioned a curious incident in which she attended a Pagan gathering in full regalia, dressed as the Queen of the Nile. While that may sound like a fabrication, something that we discovered that "Bob" was far from being above, the House itself has hardly denied this claim, as we can see by reading Tamara Siuda's biography on the House's website. Note that "Netjer" is their word for none other than God Almighty, the Supreme Being:

"The 196th Nisut-Bityt of the Two Lands, Sekhenet-Ma'at-Ra setep-en-Ra Hekatawy I, is the current spiritual leader of the Kemetic Orthodox Faith, the religion of ancient Egypt ("Kemet" to its own people) as it is practiced in the modern world.

She was born Tamara L. Siuda on July 19, 1969, the eve of mankind's "one giant leap" into the future with the first manned moon landing, and matured during a time of great religious and cultural change.

After ordination, Her Holiness accepted Netjer's further demand for a full revival of the traditional religion of ancient Egypt. This led Her to resign Her original priesthood and submit to traditional coronation ceremonies in November, 1996 at modern-day Luxor and Saqqara, Egypt: at the Luxor Temple, the Ipet-sut ("Karnak Temple" of Amun) and the coronation dais of the pyramid complex of the 18th Nisut, Netjerykhet Djoser, in Saqqara, as well as ritual appearances at other temples and sacred sites throughout Egypt. Through these ceremonies, Her Holiness was invested as Nisut by the acclamation of Netjer and the Akhu, the semi-divine ancestors of Kemet, in accordance with ancient tradition."

You read that correctly. God crowned her, personally, according to the House's account. Getting Him on short notice like that must have been difficult. Usually, we understand, He needs a millenium or two of advance notice, being busy with running the Universe, keeping Evil at bay, and other small matters like that. But, He had time for this. Hmmm. For what? The biography continues:

Yes, she's claiming to be the Pharoah. This, in fact, according to the elder in the "Reader Circuit" community (who we mentioned above) was the reason why she was asked to stop coming to their gatherings. All joking aside, this claim did raise a few eyebrows at our end, even if Ms. Siuda did state that she was claiming no civil authority (yet?). It would be as if our moderator had claimed to be the heir of Agamemnon, or started calling himself "Antistoicus Caesar". Yipe. But, we tried to stay open minded. The Egyptians weren't Greek, and their traditional society had been under the rule of such a "sacred king". While the Olympians would traditionally be expected to react hostily to such ostentatious claims, the netjeru (the Egyptian gods) might feel otherwise. Her biography continues, stating with little humility, that

having allegedly been raised to that clerical position within the Vodoun religion by one Mambo Racine, with whom she seemed to have a friendly and established relationship, after her ordination. We've noted, with mild interest, that for somebody who claimed to never be on Usenet, she had quite an extensive history on it, though to be fair, the sort of post we would typically see suggested that this was mostly a positive one. This is why we've had trouble swinging the axe, in the case of the House. Tamara Siuda is not the classic, clear-cut online lunatic, who has been making no sense from day one. If you looked at her earlier writings, she came across as somebody with a lot of common sense, and a lot of decency, who had been set on by one fanatic too many - a sympathetic figure, whose troubles had been all too familiar. This particularly came out in a piece she did, entitled "The Black and White about Ancient Egypt" in which she spoke about her encounter with Afrocentricism. But something prophetically troubling could be seen in that piece as well. We'll get to that.

Again, in all fairness, we had heard from people clearly unconnected to her that this sort of descent of deity upon the priestess is a part of the Vodoun faith, the study of which she seemed to be using to breath life back into the old Egyptian religion. As was rightly pointed out in our original review of the House, such claims are not unique to Kemeticism, or even to African Traditionalist religions, having been seen in Pentecostalism (a branch of Fundamentalist Christianity), where one hears of "speaking in tounges".

But then, in retrospect, one should ask oneself - what exactly has been the ethical reputation of "Preacher men" or "holy rollers" in every non-Anglo-Saxon community they've ever passed though? For that matter, what is the ethical reputation of accomodationism? And when should we start to feel a little concerned about the signs we're seeing? Confronted with a traditional Angry Black Radical, Ms. Siuda tried to find a peacemaking compromise. In most of life's activities, that can be admirable, but in the context of scholarship and research to do so is widely considered to be reprehensible cowardice in academic circles, and not without reason. The scholar's duty is to find and uphold the truth, and if feelings are hurt in the process, too bad. People can grow up.

"Why make a fuss?" She says as much in that article. If it was important to African-Americans to believe that the Ancient Egyptians were "African" in the sense that the Nigerians are, then so they were, and let's hear no more about it, she seems to say. But choices of theory have consequences, far reaching consequences, that in this case redefined the entire religion for the sake of short-term political expedience. Once she decided that the Ancient Egyptians were "Africans" in the sense that some wanted them to be, she was left with the conclusion that Kemetic Orthodoxy had to be an African Traditionalist religion. She took to going to the traditions of the West African Yoruba and to Vodoun (or "Voodoo") to flesh out the fragmentary source material that she had at her disposal from Ancient Egypt.

As for awkward little details, like, say, a wealth of well-preserved and not especially 'Negroid' ancient Egyptian bodies, and DNA evidence that places even the Ethiopians far closer to the Arabs, genetically, than they are to the Nigerians (1), she would have a simple answer which could be heard in her devotion of May 9, 2001:

Bless all the children of Netjer, known and unknown! May your coming be peaceful.

Hail Goose, coming forth from Iunu, I do not argue without reason.

Shu, the Goose of Iunu (Heliopolis) is invoked in Purification 19, to confirm that one has not argued is-her-khayut, or "except as concerns things" -- that is to say, one has not argued for the sake of argument alone.

What an amazing statement for a Western mind. Are not philosophy and mathematics and theology themselves based upon intellectual debate, "arguments" turned toward elucidating more facts? What of knowledge? What of the pursuit of truth? How will we ever find out where people stand if we can't question them? Isn't it fun to pick fights with people who obviously have no idea what they are talking about?

I do not argue without reason.

Before Netjer today, in this day of the Beautiful Valley Festival along with a second Holiday of Ra and His Shemsu for the month, examine those reasons. Examine them carefully. Allow the winds of Shu to blow the ones that aren't fully founded away, and feel your ka soar.

Today I also thank Netjer for Imakhu Djedankhesenaset Inibmutes, priest of Aset and my personal scribe, on her birthday. Nekhtet!

Dua Amun-Ra! Dua Mut! Dua Khonsu! Nekhtet!

I invite your discussion and participation in this teaching in the Devotions boards.

If an argument should prove to be politically inconvenient, no problem - just declare it to be "unimportant". But that's just wrong.

Part of the problem with applying such a maternal standard to scholarly criticism is that of durability (not to mention that the scholar is betraying her fundamental defining duty to honestly statisfy mankind's innate curiosity). The untruth that one promotes for personal reasons today will be built on, leading to a cascading series of untruths that will follow. The very perspective that we may use to determine which truths are "important" and which are not becomes distorted. In truth, that perspective comes with an expiration date anyway - one doesn't really know which truths will be important in the long run. In this particular case, while her conciliatory tone reflected good sense in the moment, when it remained confined to the moment, Ms. Siuda took it further with historical consequences for the religion that she was trying to re-establish. She adopted, as her personal theory which she built on, something that was more a matter of tactful politics than one of scholarly integrity.

Within hours of our first, semi-critical posting of a review of the House, the House already knew, and Craig Schaefer, the "seal bearer" of the House, had written back with inexplicable speed. Search engines don't catalog sites that quickly. Craig wanted the review removed, and began the House's relationship with us by apparently trying to mislead the evening editorial volunteer about what the morning volunteer had just written, claiming that we had acknowledged that the House was a non-Pagan group. (In fact, it was referred to as being a "borderline case" owing to its monolatrous beliefs, which held that all of the Egyptian "gods" were but aspects of one unknowable deity. As we said then, El Paso borders on Mexico, and Mexico City is clearly in Mexico, but we'd hate to have to hike that distance. To be a borderline case of a Pagan group, and to be a clearly non-Pagan group, not only are not the same thing, they are mutually exclusive).

Less than two hours after we replied by revising the House' review with a note about Reverend Schaefer's curious notion that we needed his permission to link to 'his' site", the Agora was hacked and deleted. Twice. For good measure, somebody then submitted massive numbers of fake urls for files on what was then a two page site, a fact which has haunted us in our search engine rankings to this day. We ended up having to write to our webspace provider to notify him of the ongoing problems. By the time we won this ludicrous test of wills and managed to keep the Agora up, the review had been rewritten to reflect these curious events. We drew no joy from this fact.

Apparently neither did Tamara Siuda, who, early in 2001, wrote to Antistoicus, personally, asking for a fair hearing (which she got, a brief discussion following). Ms. Siuda invited us to come see her group for ourselves, and then write about it in an informed manner. Fair enough. We started drawing straws, and then found somebody more than glad to go and take a look, especially seeing as we remembered that he had lost a bet and had to. A small amount of grumbling and headshaking later, our usual gadfly and sounding board headed down to Hyde Park, to the Oriental Institute at the Museum of Chicago, where Siuda had set the time and place for the meeting. He was late, but they were later, maybe about a dozen members of the local chapter showing up. They found him, and asked him if he was Antistoicus, and off everybody went in the direction of dinner and a movie.

Siuda, Cass, and Schaefer were there; he noted with some amusement that the individual who was alleged to be Craig Schaefer (appearing incognito) bore no resemblence to the man himself. If, at any point in this review, you get the impression that we're saying that everything that the members of the "Reader Circuit" have said about the House of Netjer is true - no, far from it. They've been slandered creatively, and at length. "Bob Loomis" of the "Blessed Village Shrine" who we mentioned in the Prima Nocturne Incident would get the community chuckling by painting an absurd picture of a lovestruck Tamara Siuda chasing a Craig Schaefer who was much more interested in the young boys, Bob would claim. If so, this would be news to Craig's wife, who our man met that afternoon. Our impression that the reports we were getting from the old community were on the level of the snickering to be heard in a middle school gym lockerroom, was confirmed.

Our representative socialized with the local chapter a little, and the membership made a relatively positive impression on him, even if the concept of Divine Kinghood did not. There was one thing that did cause him a little concern, and to some extent foreshadowed everything to come. After some commiseration about the odd behavior in the Pagan community which both we and the House departed, Siuda mentioned the need to insist on civility on the boards. Our man made some reference to the Uniform Base Code of Morality, which was written to address that issue, recapturing values which in many places have been forgotten as a matter of fashion. Siuda and the membership seemed to have trouble taking the very concept of framing rules about such things seriously. A religious movement that ridicules the notion of taking time to discuss the ethics of social interaction?

Nor did there seem to be any willingness on their part to listen to any explanation of the notion that such a discussion might be had. This, we would find to be typical of the House which, though maintaining a "Society and Ethics Board", seemed to have little tolerance for any level of ethical inquiry that rose about the level of the mouthing of fashionable slogans and the paying of lip service to what some would call "progressive points of view". Craig Schaefer, himself, would describe the board as a place created where politics could be discussed, in order that it might stay there; in other words, the "ethics" board was viewed as being a kind of dumping place, rather than a place to discuss what some of us would regard as being the heart and soul of a religion.

Making what (for us) proved to be a very convenient misstep, our man got our membership numbers wrong, greatly underestimating them. (People he had thought had moved out of region had merely gone on absurdly long vacations). A good deal for us, because this allowed us to see how the House would deal with another group, when it felt that said group has not powerful enought to be a useful ally. How good a friend would it be, really? As we would find, their concept of 'friendship' would never rise above the level of coarsely self-serving political calculation.

At first, with misunderstandings apparently resolved, the House struck him as being a group that the Shrine could develop a productive relationship with. He started to raise the subject and was promptly misunderstood - Ms. Siuda took this as a question as to whether or not we could join! Staying stoically inscrutible, he listened as she invited us to take part of the House of Netjer's webboards at http://www.netjer.org/, which she identified as being the center of the House' activities, the House being mostly an online organization owing to the wide dispersal of its membership.

Good! This was a positively unprecedented opportunity. For the first time, we would be able to see another organization from the inside, without the members thinking of us as being outsiders who might be evaluating them. Siuda herself quickly seemed to lose sight of the fact that to do so, was why we were there. Our attempts to see this group in action have already succeeded beyond our wildest dreams, in the most disappointing manner possible.

We really wanted to like this group. We really did. In truth, when one first encounters them, online of off, one can find plenty of reasons to do so. Offline, at least on being met briefly, they seem to be a charming enough group of people, very pleasant and straightforward, intelligent, well read and sensible - all of the things that one hoped that the members of the Neopagan community would be, and yet seldom are. Online, their homepage (and its sister site) seemed to be everything that one might wish such a group's homepage to be, at least as a very introduction to their group. At first, we were rather fond of their recommended reading list, which took the reader from the very introductory level, through something a little more sophisticated. Most conveniently for the reader, if profitable for them, the House was then, as now, maintaining an online bookstore at which these titles could be purchased.

"What's wrong with profit?", some might ask. If one is running a business, nothing at all, but religion should never be allowed to become a business. Yes, there is a lot to be said for a group setting up a bookstore - as it is helping the visitor learn more about the subject matter at hand, one might argue that however worrisome the profit motive might become, at least the mission of the group is being properly served in the process. But, what are we to say about the sale of robes, decals and other merchandise? How does this serve the greater good?

One concern one might have, when seeing a faith group engaging in profit-making, is that the desire for profit might corrupt the group engaging in it, leading it to sacrifice principle for the sake of popularity with its customers. The question would have to be, just how resistant is the group to temptation, and how attached is it to principle. Much to my disappointment, we found that Tamara Siuda and those close to her in the House of Netjer's hierarchy proved to be all too typically corruptable. The only doubt that we have found ourselves left with to date, is whether the desire to sell books and lessons or the desire to hear herself called "Her Holiness" had proved the more corrupting for Ms. Tamara Siuda, their leader and founder.

That last remark might have sounded like an exercise in sarcasm, but it wasn't. Tammy Siuda really and truly is referred to as "Her Holiness", "She" and "Her" always being capitalized when she is spoken of by her followers, among whom we think you can already guess we are not to be numbered. Siuda, remarkably enough, claims to be the spiritual heir of the pharoahs of ancient Egypt, having gone so far, according to her original accounts, as to go to Egypt with her entourage to be coronated by the gods in the ruins of an old temple.

Don't say "gods" in front of her or the House, though. The Egyptian word used is "netjeru", which they translate as "the Names of Netjer", Netjer being the Egyptian word they use for the source of all divinity, what some would call "Godhead". So, how did the netjeru manage to preside? According to Craig Schaefer, through the ritual possession of some of the members, who then acted on behalf of those who possessed them. To claim the role of a prophet, to use the Jewish sense of the word, is a remarkable decision, one which aroused our immediate skepticism. Our first thought was that this sounded a lot like a cult of personality. Nevertheless, as people of faith, we should be prepared for the possibility that something extraordinary might occur. The question is, did something extraordinary occur, or more to the point for the purposes of this review, could one sensibly maintain that it did?

How better to tell, than to watch the alleged prophet in action and see what was to be made of her prophecy?

Acting on Ms. Siuda's personal invitation, the first of us (Antistoicus) took part in their online forums What he saw of their behavior online, could only be termed peculiar. After rebutting an Afrocentric argument that Cleopatra must have been Black, (2) he was soon confronted with an even more curious argument that the Ancient Egyptians had harnessed electricity. Being the voice of common sense on that thread won him the enjoyment of getting to hear lengthy and venomous anti-intellectual diatribes, now deleted (along with his rebuttals), which went so charmingly well with the crazed and occasionally threatening letters that he had been receving from our good friend "John" via the House' private message system (with the House refusing to act in response), to say nothing of the more than slight hint of anti-semitism which the (formerly Jewish) Antistoicus had seen on the Religion and Empowerment thread. There, he had encountered the bizarre belief that defending oneself against a personal attack was, itself, a form of personal attack, a point of view which would make its reappearance soon enough.

Far from helping to restore reason and common sense to the politicized absurdity that was taking place on her boards, Ms. Siuda instead chose to play to the crowd by providing it with the rhetorical ammunition it desired in the comments that she chose to make in that day's "purification", ie. online sermon:

Timing is everything, and this was all of the encouragement that the crazies on her board needed. In his efforts to introduce a note of common sense into the discussion, Antistoicus found that Siuda had cut him off at the knees. Having been to graduate school, herself (at least, so she claims), Tamara Siuda should have known that rational counterargument doesn't lend itself to expression through soundbites. On the other hand, a loudmouth's ignorance usually does. On the terms she had just stated, the floor of discussion was tilted in favor of the latter. The particular loudmouths who had fighting the 'good fight' for ignorance and anti-intellectualism on the Egyptian electrification thread, such as the aforementioned "John", seized on this "purification" as if it were holy scripture that they had just been vindicated by. This did not speak well of the prophet or of the religion that based itself in large part on her alleged prophecy.

As "Bob", one of their "shemsu" (ie. acolytes) requested, seriously arguing that having lost an argument on points made him and his friends victims of mistreatment whom Antistoicus had "degraded", Stephanie Cass (the monitor of the board) deleted the entire thread, erasing all evidence that Bob's defeat had ever occurred. This left him free to embrace the mythology that Tamara Siuda had just spun to his faction's benefit, without the fear that outsiders would be able to see the unflattering truth for themselves. Bobby then took his bizarre complaint onto another thread, which, again, Cass left up for months, until Antistoicus posted a rebuttal, after which, again, she censored the entire thread, literally within hours of his posting.

This pattern of Ms. Cass erasing the historical record for political purposes would continue, with Cass seriously asserting that this was the right thing for her to do, in a letter which she sent to Antistoicus! This has lead to an absurd situation, in which a race has developed between us, to see if we can copy down material before she realizes that we will have a use for it, and deletes it proactively. Some might try to excuse this abuse of administrative discretion, calling Cass a well-intentioned (if misguided) would-be peacemaker. We would argue that they would be mistaken. As the next incident seemingly made clear, Cass' motivation was one of short-term political expedience, and nothing else.

During 2001, an unusually friendly thread entitled "Netjer and Geometry" took place on the board. During it, Antistoicus mentioned the Japanese practice of bringing Geometric proofs in to some of their shrines as offerings (a practice from what some would call the "Floating World" (3) period of Japanese isolation, prior to the Meiji restoration), and promised to post the date of the issue, when he found it. Some months later, with his home in greater order, he did just that, but the original thread was now hard to find. To help the reader get past that difficulty, he set up a gateway post, leading to a bizarre effort by some of the board's regulars to trump up a complaint, an effort which the board's monitors were to reward.

At that point, Antistoicus had really had enough. He had come, at Tamara Siuda's request to see the House for himself, and had seen enough to form a solid and well-justified view of it. In the time that he was on the boards, he had barely even seen the notion of fair play paid lip service, he'd seen ethics as low (or lower) than those of the community that Siuda had complained of her mistreatment at the hands of, and the intellectual tone could not have been worse. And all of this, by the account of the three highest ranking members of the House, was exactly as things should have stood.

Even under normal circumstances, this would all be very bad. But, under the House' theology, this becomes a failure of the House' very belief system, not merely a failure to live up to it. In "What is Kemetic Orthodoxy", we are told that

Remarkable claims indeed, especially considering what is to be said about Heru (ie. Horus) :

A Norse Traditionalist might be put in mind of the tireless diligence of Heimdall. As Hellenists, we here at the Shrine would speak of a "god of justice". (5) In either case, the message is clear : the Nisut is to become the embodiment of Justice, itself.

This is a powerful claim to make. What is described, is akin to the relationship between the Pythia of antiquity and Apollo, or that of one of the prophets and the God of Israel. Such a relationship would transform the human party to it. Let us consider the far more modest relationship of "communion" which will be claimed between such Traditionalists as one might find here, and their patron deities, which is somewhat akin to that between the modern Catholic and his patron saint, perhaps. One doesn't even claim to hear the voice of one's deity, much less speak with her, ever. Yet, even so, deity becomes a presence which one can feel beside one, in one's heart, a presence which guides one's actions.

A worshipper of Aphrodite who feels that relationship would never try to turn true friend against true friend, or lover and against lover out of spite, no matter how angry he might be. He might feel sorely tempted, in some extreme case, but somehow he just wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it. Those who bring Apollo into their hearts, will not become book burners. Those who draw close to Hera do not neglect their families.

A prophet shall be known by her works. So goes the cliche, and surely it must be true, if such lesser ties bind so strongly. Yet, let us look at the works of this alleged voice of Horus, the fearless and tireless champion of justice, and the works of those under her. When confronted with a report of an injustice done by a subordinate, she couldn't find the courage to speak for herself, but, instead, entrusted her dirty work to her subordinate, Craig Schaefer.

Since she has chosen to let Craig speak for her, let us judge her claims by his actions. Confronted with the actions of a cut-rate would-be thug (and convicted criminal) like "John", who reportedly intimidated much of the membership of the House through his irrational rages, rather than restore the civil order on the boards, Schaefer responded by trying to appease the thug. So much for fearlessness. Faced with the documentation of a wrong, he has refused to even so much as look. So much for tireless diligence. When presented with the complaints of the victim of the low rent thug and his friends, he equated the illegimate demands of the criminal with the legitimate complaints of the abused. So much for justice.

One may say that these are small matters, but that's exactly our point. Those who haven't learned to crawl, ought not try to run.

If the House can't tell right from wrong in a matter this simple, then how can one maintain any belief in its ability to analyze more complex matters? If a child fails arithmetic, does one then see if he does better at Calculus? If the House loses its nerve when the stakes are so low, then how can one believe that it would do otherwise, were the stakes higher? If courage is so easily lost, then how can one believe that it is present at all?

The conclusion becomes unavoidable. While none of us ever believed that Tamara Siuda was a prophet in any sense, some of us were willing to consider this as a subject on which reasonable people could disagree. However, when a prophet falls so far away from where her God would lead her, there is no room left for doubt. She is clearly no prophet at all. Whether she is willfully deceiving others, or has herself been deceived, is a mystery few of us have any desire to solve.

The reader can see why we didn't enjoy the notion of posting such a review, and why we wished to give the House every chance to do the right thing. We had to be sure. The implications here are severe ones, and even if they're true, finding them has been a joyless experience. We probably lost more than a little objectivity trying to avoid these conclusions, but the House just wouldn't let me escape them, as hard as we tried, and we did try, very, very hard.

This is the last review Antistoicus ever contributed to, and probably the last one any of us will ever start. Some of us had idly considered the possibility of trying out the boards ourselves, but as Cass' "shoot first and ask questions later" editorial policy has visibly reduced the board to pablum, devoid of anything resembling substance or original thought out of a phobic response to the very notion of controversy, we've been unable to find another member willing to sit through one of their online discussions. As somebody put it, "there isn't enough caffeine in the world to keep me awake through that".

If you meet any of us, especially Antistoicus, don't ask me any questions about any of our past reviews, because none of us even want to think about this, any more. You might say that we all have a bad case of "project fatigue". As we have said, our hope, when we started the Agora, was one of finding new groups with worthwhile new ideas and decent leadership, and helping seekers to find these groups, but that just never happened. We couldn't help but notice that when the "Pagan" or "Kemetic" clergy were placed alongside their mainstream Christian and Jewish counterparts, that they just couldn't measure up. They seemed more like children playing "church" than actual priests. This raised the awkward question, "what's the point?". Why go to all of the trouble of creating a new religion, or of resurrecting a dead one, if, in the end, we end up drastically worse people for having done so? Each of us searched for an answer to this question and even with the 'help' of clergy such as these, not one of us could find it, and eventually, one after another of us decided to let this effort go, the last of us from this point on. Our one common regret is that we didn't make this choice sooner.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we'd like to go do our homework.
