        The Sun.

        Consider Sol. Here's a thing that the Earth and its inhabitants would simply die without. It sustains life. Improves the mood. Prevents rickets. Creates sexy tan lines. Kills vampires. And makes photosynthesis and the moon's radiance possible.

        It's also an enormous nuclear fireball over 800,000 miles wide with a core of 27 million degrees Farenheit. It is a miniscule, middle-aged, yellow dwarf in the soul-crushingly vast infinitude that is space. It can burn your skin if it sees you on your front porch. It can do this even if clouds are blocking it. It does this even though it's over 93 million miles away.

        So, isn't it strange that an LSAT student can worry about a Loose Sequencing Game, or anybody can worry about anything, when something like the sun is happening?
