Oh, trust me, Jilli-- poor Alyssa was just headdesking like you would not believe. And I was right there with her. It was SOOOO tempting to remind these nutbars that vampire lit went waaaaayyyyyy before Laurell K. and Stephanie Meyer.

Whereas making fuzzy bunnies vampires is all kinds of right.
Well, yes.

DRACULA, PEOPLE. READ IT.
(I know you people get it. It's one of the many reasons I treasure you so.)
I have to kind of roll my eyes at all of the ways that vampire novelists come up with to try to make the vampires mysterious but harmless. I really think Joss came up with the best way to have a vampire be a hero without having him be a fluffy little puppy.

It made such sense, too! Take away a moral compass, and who wouldn't revel in the power rush? But give it back, and suddenly it's all, "Oh WOW, was I ever evil."

But that would screw up their WHOLE argument, force them to read and make them admit they are wrong. Some act like Salem's Lot was the first mention of vampires and Stephen King is the only one capable of writing horror or suspense.
Suggesting some of these people read Dracula, Frankenstein, Picture of Dorian Gray, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or the like and they act react with such revulsion. I had one person tell me they wouldn't read such things because the stories were "too old to be any good". I still wonder how they got through high school and college English.

Absolutely!

We don't have enough information to know if the semicolon was used correctly. Did the meal include commas and conjunctions?

In my more paranoid moments, I suspect that this is the real reason The Man doesn't want us to have nice things a sane health care system.
And yes, I do think my tin-foil hat is quite fetching, thank you!
I have read that as a real political theory, amyth. Also as an explanation for the preponderance of student-loan debt.
