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.

My mother...

Five years ago, my mother died, after a long illness that essentially took her from us years before.

This is a picture of her at age two, or thereabouts. She had that smile almost as long as she lived.

She was much loved. She is much missed.

Yes indeed -- I can't tell you how often I think of her, mostly at church (where she was such a rock for so long, and the best layreader EVER) but also any time I see a plastic Halloween pumpkin.
