Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Terry was brought on board by Schiavo's parents, who hoped he could mobilize Christian fundamentalist support for their daughter.

People baffle me. Why would you want Christian Fundamentalists on your side? Especially if you are, as I understand the Schaivos are, a Catholic, as Catholics are otherwise pretty high up on the Fundie hit list?

I suppose you would want them there because they share your beliefs (which is something else that kind of baffles, but I digress), but I must just be a nasty cynic, because I think they only wanted Christian Fundamentalists on their side because they get what they want most of the time now that the Bushies are in power.

I know this post will probably upset lots of people, but frankly, I'm tired of silencing my opinions just because Christians don't like them. This Schiavo thing has really pushed me over the edge. There is too much religion in the public discourse these days, and I'm tired of it. Where is my religious freedom, which I define as freedom from being harassed and harangued by everyone else's religion?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am not going to embark upon a lifestyle of cutting to prove a point, but if you handed me a scissor or a table knife and told me to stab someone, the table knife'd end up in my pocket at best. I'd rather fight with my fists.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Other desk weapons include heavy objects to throw (stapler!) and I could blind villains by throwing cocoa mix into their eyes. Okay. Is it any wonder that my favorite weapon is a sharp tongue??

Skipped. Head hurts. Can't form complete sentences. Need stapler for possible brainechtomy.

You need to be drunk before trying a stapler brainechtomy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'd suggest you use a single scissor blade for the ectomy, and save the stapler for closing the wound afterwards. Desktop surgery is fun!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, you're going to kill the cheetah by licking it?

This is a good plan. I can even use the sharpie here to mark the point of incision.

Ah, Sharpies! Is there any end to their fabulous uses?

No, they're right up there with duct tape.
