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.
Today in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1933, Valerie Worth was born. I love her Small Poems.
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...

Well, no, actually they don't look as though they could be anything of the sort. Do they?
Don't they?
Well, no, they look utterly beyond holding in the hand. As though, if one were to sweep them - and that in itself is unthinkable - they would heap, hundred on hundred, thousand upon thousand, million upon million, uncountable trillions, overflowing the hand, let alone the palm, let alone thought. A lot of them.
I suppose that depends on where you live and how many of them you can see.
Ah, yes, that's true.
