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.

At 8:40 PM, November 23, 2016 Kathie had this to say...: If you're roasting turkey for Thanksgiving and she's never smelled it before, I predict she'll go bonkers for the aroma -- maybe camp out in front of the oven for hours watching the door intently, as though it were a TV or computer screen.
At 8:41 PM, November 23, 2016 The Ridger, FCD had this to say...: We'll find out. My brother is bringing a turkey that will need reheating.
At 8:43 PM, November 23, 2016 Kathie had this to say...: Looks as though the princess is enjoying some quality time there. Is she at ease around company yet?
At 8:44 PM, November 23, 2016 The Ridger, FCD had this to say...: No. Tomorrow she will probably hide out in the back bedrooms. Especially with three little kids!
At 10:41 AM, November 25, 2016 The Ridger, FCD had this to say...: She did not hang out in the kitchen smelling turkey. She hid under my bed for the whole time. She really doesn't like it when strangers come over! And unfortunately for her, "stranger" is a category that includes everyone but me.
At 12:44 PM, November 25, 2016 Kathie had this to say...: Maybe she'll get braver as she grows up. Did you save her a few turkey scraps to try?

You cannot leave. You cannot drop the armor now. Why? Because you are needed, more than ever. You are mandatory to keep the energy flowing, the karmic vibrator buzzing, to keep the progressive and lucid half of the nation breathing and healthy and awake and ever reaching out to the half that's wallowing in fear and violence and homophobia and sexual dread, hoping to find harmony instead of cacophony, common ground instead of civil war, some sort of a shared love of a country so messy and internationally disrespected and openly confused its own president can't even speak the language.

After all, you don't hand over all your children the first time the flying monkeys bang on your door...

It's far from over. The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined.
