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.
“It was an unidentified flying object, OK? It's, like, it's unidentified. I saw something.”
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 -->That didn't bother me a bit. It's actually a variation on a line I've often used.
Q: Do you believe in UFO's?
A: Sure. UFO simply means "unidentified flying object" and I think that's exactly what they are - unidentified.
I like Dennis and fully understand your attraction to him. I'm not a Democrat (nor Republican!) but my wife is and I've often told her that Dennis spells it out better than any other Dem candidate. That said, I don't think he's going to get the nod from your party and think he would have the most difficult time in the general election of any of the Dems. Then again, if after 8 years of this non-sense the American people wouldn't accept ANY Dem as their leader, then we might as well abandon all hope for reason - even for sanity itself.
I have to agree - he most likely will not get the nomination. But we need to have him in the race, saying things that otherwise wouldn't get said. If not, all we'll get is a race to the center and an attempt to be Republican Lite - and that gets us nowhere we (or I) want to be!
I'm with you 100% on that. Voices like Kucinich are vital to the dialogue. I'd like to see Gore at least vocally participate in diaglogue, even if he doesn't get directly in to the race. He could be a terrific gadfly to the campaign. When it comes to the general election, he (and Dennis) should be major faces on the campaign trail. I'd especially like to see Russ Feingold out there.
In 2001, Feingold was the lone Senator who voted against the USA Patriot Act, despite pressure for a unanimous vote. He voted against the Iraq War in 2002, and was the first senator to call for a specific timetable for US exit from Iraq. On March 13, 2006, he called for censure of President Bush for illegal wiretapping of Americans.
"Run Russ Run!" was my motto for a while. I wish he would ... I understand why he's not.
