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.
Are you serious? They're calling her wrong for mispronouncing "Berenstein Bears" as steen instead of stain? Yes, I'd have gotten it wrong, too, but honestly.

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 -->Count yourself among the lucky ones. Even as a kid I thought those were horrible, sickly-sweet books. Unfortunately, the had binding similar to the Seuss books. I still remember how disappointing it was to pull a Berenstain Bears book off the shelf by mistake, or when I'd open a present of wrapped slim hardcovers from some well-meaning, but clueless, adult. I really hated those bears. I guess I'm not over that yet.
Fortunately, I was over twenty when the first one was published. I've seen them in stores, but never read one.
