Though to be fair to those who talk about Angel's death, even he refers to it as dying. (Did in Dear Boy.)
It's really only in comparison that it bothers me. He wasn't dusted, is what I'm saying. I mean, he's a vampire -- obviously death is no deterrent to having a nice life, but when people are talking about a vampire dying, generally they mean staking, to never return (or at least not without the big mojo, cf. Darla).
Remonds me of the woman who wrote to Reader's Digest screaming at them for supporting JK Rowling when, "according to internet newspaper The Onion, she is recuiting millions of children to her satanic cult."
When I was in college, around '89 or so, a very conservative guy had a whole diatribe of a report in our 400-level *Journalism* class. In it he lambasted demonic imagry and lyrics in the record industry.
His prime example was Spinal Tap's album.
After his diatribe, read aloud in front of the class, he took questions.
I shot up my hand and said "Um, you know that Spinal Tap is a
parody
record, right?" The look on his face said he did not.
I loved every frelling second of the silence in the room.

Great story Daniel.
It makes me think of all the people I've heard screaming about the "backwards satanic messages" in Hotel California.
Every time I hear that, it makes me want to ask "have you tried listening to the song normally? You really don't have to put that much work into it..."

I said the better part of 2000 years. 1100 is the better part.

If you believe that, do NOT go in the Bureaucracy thread....
You gonna make me take a vote?
Oh, you know, the whole confusion over the definition of "majority."
Would the "greater part" of 2000 = 1000 + 1, or does it mean "most"?
Anyway. How about that Buffy?
"Majority" = what me and mine think.
That Buffy, pretty neat, I think.
