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.

We walked out of Gallery Place Metro station into pouring rain yesterday - a real frog-strangler. Fortunately, we'd brought umbrellas with us, so we headed on down to the E Street Cinema without trouble.

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...

Did he make a lot of sales? It seems like the timing was right for him.
We saw him make one sale, but we were hurrying to make our movie so we didn't watch him.
