All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
And they always say it with this triumphant, patronizing, now-I-have-all-the-moral-high-ground-and-I-just-kicked-your-science-and-logic-in-the-nuts tone that just makes me want to reach back in time and kick their goddamn grandfather in the nuts. Both their grandfathers, just to be on the safe side. And I'm a crunchy pacifist Jesus freak!
JZ, I adore you.

I'm willing to believe they are human and people (though certainly not independent people) and abortion is bad (which I DO believe all of those things) and STILL believe that I don't have to right to regulate anyone else's body!
I have a class with all of the African-American kids in it. They were looking at a stump speech from Rick Santorum today and discussing Ron Paul stating that universal education should not be mandatory especially funded by the government. One kid, A, said he agreed with Ron Paul. I said I found it ironic that an African American kid, who 170 years ago would have been denied any possibility of getting an education, was perfectly happy giving his up.
Made everyone else in his group gape.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, I'm listening to a developer struggle with at least his second language over a poor connection about something that's too technical for me to be able to grasp entirely even if it was orated by Stephen Fry. But we're so far away from that...
I'm tempted to put them on mute and watch Vampire Diaries. At least that way I'll be awake?

Well, if you're going for an insanity plea, might as well go all out on the insanity.

Demons and angels, Ginger. Which makes me wonder...which was which?
