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.
A quick little something from Fred at Slacktivist's latest round-up:
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 -->I've always admired the principles and strength of character that McCain displayed as a prisoner of war, and I respect the moral authority with which he has spoken against torture. But it does seem to me that he chose party loyalty over principled opposition to torture in 2004, when he supported the Bush–Cheney ticket.
I hope he can continue to be a voice of reason within his party on this issue, but I think he's made it clear that he is a Republican first and foremost.
