Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Marginally, oh, so marginally related:
I'm reminded of an old "Wizard of Id" cartoon. The wizard is in his lab, stirring his cauldron, and his wife comes down the stairs and says, "You know what? I'd like to hold a seance." "It'll never work," says the wizard. "Why not?", asks his wife. "Because," the wizard replies, "No one will ever believe that you're a medium."
In the final panel, the wizard has been stuffed head-first into his cauldron, and his wife is stomping angrily back up the stairs.
