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.
First, it's very sad that acclaimed DC actor Frank Britton was assaulted at the Silver Spring Metro and is in the hospital.
Members of the D.C. theater community have started a GoFundMe page to help offset his medical expenses.Nobody should need to crowdsource his medical bills. Nobody.
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 -->Don't forget the triply unfortunate -- those uninsured folks who need health care but aren't as esteemed or famous (or have enough friends and admirers who care sufficiently, or who have the know-how to raise money), so they have no prospects of having their medical bills covered by crowd-sourcing. I wish those who smugly rail against "entitlements" would look at such things from this angle.
Well, that's what I meant - it's not sad that he has friends who set this up for him. It's sad that anybody should need such a thing.
But yes, if people didn't have this access, they're just out of luck. Bankruptcy from medical expenses is a horrible reality in the US.
