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.
The final shot of Harold Lloyd's 1929 film "Welcome Danger" has the Lloyd character and his girlfriend embracing on a Golden Gate Coffee billboard. The slogan plays with their "this must be heaven!" dialog.. but wait!

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...

BTW, I don't recall Golden Gate brand coffee from my youth -- somewhat later, of course (*cough* *cough*). If only you'd posted this in the AM, I could've asked the family friend out there whom I phoned this afternoon -- tomorrow's her 104th birthday, and I bet she'd remember!
