Aw, shucks, thanks. I was feel sort of all Tao when I wrote that.

I do not like squirrels at all. Sometimes, they’ll gather in my tree, 12 or 15 at a time, and I run for the door. Hearing that many squirrels chatter together frightens me. It always sounds like they’re planning an attack.

I’m glad I stopped by here today. As always, you’ve somehow found my thoughts and given them eloquence and dignity.

You’d better watch out before you find yourself hauled up in front of the squirrel board!

In the immortal words of current slang:

I know, right?!?!

Well said, sir.

And when Anne said her nice thing, it wasn’t the end of her book. The diary gets pretty bleak after that. And then came Bergen-Belsen.

This is only true in badly written fantasy fiction and badly told D&D modules. They are actually horrible creatures.

Oh you brute. The squirrels just want to be your little woodland friends.

Comment on A repeal by Meagan

I think you’re right that most of the country feels this way, and I think it speaks more of confusion than hatred.

I think people misunderstand what the law is FOR. They aren’t necessarily voting against gay marriage because they think it needs to be illegal, they’re voting against it because they think gay people shouldn’t get married. It’s sort of like legal mandating of saying prayers daily, which I think most people would agree is not a good law. The anti-gay crowd, for reasons I cannot fathom, has confused voters into believing that a religious viewpoint is enough of a reason for a law. Many people are just not thoughtful enough to understand the difference between personal morality and legal protections.

I don’t know the solution, but I don’t think we’ll get anywhere until we are able to convince everyone of the necessity in seperating church and state. I think we take this idea so much for granted that we can forget the reasons for it, or even what it means.
