You know what I find disappointing? Wil followed his heart and came here to write and clarify what he was trying to say and to apologize to a particular group of people for his words and the hurt they caused, which takes courage.
I find it disappointing that people would have the audacity to tell him he is wrong, that he shouldn't have apologized.
If more people on both sides of this would step off their high horses there would be dialog. But not while those involved try to destroy those that disagree with them.
There is no more debate on the merits, there is excoriation of character, there is no more LISTENING, only screaming, there is no more understanding (regardless if you agree) there is only demanded capitulation.
It used to be that you could have a strong debate with someone, and maybe it got heated, but when it was over there was still basic respect for the other person as a human being. No more, if you disagree you are a FAGGOT, or you are a BIGOT.
It is sick how unhumanly (not really a word, but it gets the point across) we treat our fellow humans.
Setting aside anger for something that I hope is a little more kind. (Or: when I break my own law)
A few days ago, I Twittered: "I can't stop laughing at the bigots who celebrated their solidarity with each other by gorging themselves on shitty fast food. Bravo, jerks." I still think it's silly that eating at a fast food restaurant is considered political activism today, but that's not what t...

Today the US Senate is considering legislation that would destroy the free and open Internet.
“Why is it that when Republicans and Democrats need to solve the budget and the deficit, there’s deadlock, but when Hollywood lobbyists pay them $94 million dollars to write legislation, people from both sides of the aisle line up to co-sponsor it?” --Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian on CN...

FedCon Day 4
I don't drink at cons. I mean, I'll have a beer or maybe a glass of wine with dinner, but I don't go out drinking the way young people go out drinking, even though I usually see people I love and it would be a lot of fun to go out to a pub for some pints. I figure that I'm already pushing my bod...
It was the style at the time. Gotta love Grandpa Simpson's History lessons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXfQzfl9EQ#t=0m47s
Various things I want you to know
A few things before I forget: 1. Memories of the Future Volume 1 is available for your Kindle. It's also at Kindle.uk, and Kindle.de. It's temporarily out of the iBooks store, but I'll get that fixed in a few days. Hey, if you liked it, would you leave a review? 2. Yes, I'm working on Memories o...
