Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

The other thing I like about it, or rather things 1) She admits the limitations of her experiment and 2) This is the really big one for me. She never apologizes for her obvious liberalism. Why should she?

Damned if I know, love. I certainly never apologise for mine.

For some reason people seem to feel the need to sterilize everything before they do this sort of investigation, so that they are seen as objective. To me that sort of misses the point. I find it nearly impossible to be objective about anything that affects real actual human beings. It's not a science experiment for crap's sake, but then I have this whole thing about over valuing reason and logic to the detriment of emotion and intuition.

One of my favorite Louisianians. I have his mamma's cookbook too! It thrills me to no end to feed some of her food to our conservative guests.

I just want him to dump that Matalin cow, and make an honest woman of me. He rocks my world.

Amen. One of the reasons that N&D is so powerful is that even now, I can't help wondering about that pregnant woman who was working for The Maids, the one who only ate a snack-size bag of Doritos for lunch the one day because she didn't have the time, money, and/or energy to put together something more healthy.
I said this over in Literary, but N&D could be used as a textbook on why "show, don't tell" is so powerful.
