what i learned this week:
bringing up religion, abortion or the death penalty will at best beget discussion of the topic, and at worst, an all-out argument. or a war or something. unless of course you are with me, and the topic is the death penalty. which i apparently don't care about one way or the other. (in discussing this with Glenn the other night i believe my response was, "in 16th century England, they used to behead people and display the head on a stake on the London Bridge for a month. at least we've progressed.")
who says i'm not an optimist.
saying that you "don't respect people's [religious] beliefs" may come off as callous. but then, people sort of misconstrue the meaning of that statement.
that one person i know who voted for Bush over Gore in 2000 is completely misguided. and, you know, a few million other Americans as well.
the outpouring of a santa claus convention can really back up traffic.
two-year-olds can push a stuffed animal down a flight of stairs for hours and be thoroughly entertained. two-year-olds are also better at pronouncing my name than most adults i encounter.
