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 hate digital television. Every time the signal glitches you lose it all - picture goes all pixelly and sound is just gone. With the old broadcasts, you could still hear the audio. Four times tonight - three in House and once in the first four minutes of The Mentalist - we've lost dialog. (Some commercials, too, as far as that goes.) Missing a plot point is going to become very common.

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 -->I agree! I watch Jeopardy, crime dramas, and other shows where missing a single second of information makes watching the entire show nearly worthless. You wait for the big finale of the mystery, or the answer to the final Jeopardy question, and one of those stupid glitches comes up. I hate digital tv.
