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.

EAS

This is not really useful - an Emergency Broadcast stating:

A civil authority has issued a child abduction alert for the following area:
Maryland
issued at 8:13 pm on March 15, 2012
until 12:13 am

No details, what kind of kid or anything, and Maryland is kind of a big place.

If you're going to broadcast these things, they ought to be a bit more useful, yes?

Well, dang. Saw this less than an hour ago, and I have to agree... seriously people, more information would be a wonderful thing.

I agree. Very concerning, but no information.
