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 is Dmitry Medvedev's birthday. He was born in 1965, which makes him much younger than me, or even my baby brother... which is depressing, since he's prime minister and second man in a team running a whole country. Ah well...
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 -->Just the other day I was talking to my dentist about having braces as a kid and she mentioned how much progress had been made. Then I realized that I got my braces 50 years ago. Medvedev wasn't even born then. Sheesh. I am getting old.
