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 Birthday, Isaac!

Isaac Asimov was born today in 1920, in Petrovichi, Russia. What's to say about him? Prolific writer of many genres, he was a popularizer par excellence. His wife Janet's new book - Notes for a Memoir - is an excellent reflection on his life.
