You know what Lorne quote:
It's like a song. Now, I can hold a note for a long time. - Actually, I can hold a note forever. - But eventually, that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after and the one after that. That's what makes it music.
I am not sure what my neighbors are listening to, but it's like that noise, but with added bass.
Bake them with the other stuff! How many apples are we talking?
Oh, yeah, that's what I was going to say! Yum! Or make some easy applesauce. I bet that would freeze well if you don't have time to eat it up soon.
too much Chinese food
lisah, I know the feeling. When's the next checkup?
So my parents sent me: a chile pepper floor mat, dish towel and potholder; a home repair book, a gorgeous wood doorstopper and assorted cedar pieces, an APO mug AND a couple of my grandparents' swedish horses. So sweet and the horses are on the mantle next to my grandparents' wedding picture.
This anti-abortion approach is all about changing behavior by instilling fear. How is that not terrorism?
The same reason that sending anthrax to Patrick Leahy's office isn't terrorism.
Some of those dinners sounded delicious. Thanks for playing. I ordered pizza. Eh. Now to turn over the laundry and go to bed. I don't actually say that, Liese, but I may start!

I dunno, Burrell. I don't know the reasons for sending anthrax to a politician, because without a note you don't know the point. But the reasons for killing an abortion provider, and harrassing his family and employees and clients, are pretty clear. Both to stop the work he's doing, and to stop anyone else from doing it, either.
And they've pretty much succeeded. There are only a handful of physicians in the US who will do very-late term abortions now, regardless of the medical necessity for them. They've been scared off by the harrassment and the legal restrictions.
It's sort of like hate crimes: they work to punish the particular individual, and they oppress all the other members of that community by scaring them.
In case it wasn't clear, Consuela, I do think it's a form of terrorism.
Woops, I missed your point.
t slinks away
It's okay, Consuela. I guess I wasn't clear.
