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.

Happy Solstice!

Today is the Feast of Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun. Yes, there's plenty of winter ahead of us, cold and snow and darkness, but with every day the light is longer. Rejoice!

Happy Winter Solstice to my Northern Hemisphere readers...

And happy Summer Solstice to my Southerners...

Spring can't arrive soon enough for me, here in the Northern Hemisphere. Wish humans were able to hibernate until then!
