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.

Dining in safety
There's a tray feeder on the ground in the front of the house. Titmice and chickadees come to it regularly. But with their tiny bills, they can't eat there like cardinals and doves; they have to carry a seed or nut off to a tree branch and break it apart there. Fortunately for them, there's a lovely Japanese maple right there. Fortunately for me, I can see into it from my kitchen window.
