I watched that at the time. I seem to remember that when Dave went over to congratulate the band, he asked "Are you Hootie?" when shaking hands with Darius Rucker. Wasn't the first, certainly Wasn't the last.

I had nightmares about a play we read in elementary school called 'My Brother Sam is Dead'. This was during the Bicentennial years, so Revolutionary War stuff was big. The play featured British soldiers executing Sam. The gunshots caught his clothing on fire, and his legs flailed as he lay dying.

I believe the point of his dark comment is that intelligent people choose to vaccinate their children, passing their genes on. When vaccinations are mandated, the choice is removed from the equation, and all children are more likely to survive.

That's gorgeous. What does being marmite mean? Love it or hate it? I definitely love it.

My parents never paid attention to what I was reading, and I read constantly. I think part of it was they had no idea of all the things that were possible for me to obtain, but perhaps I underestimate them.

That settles it then.

For the record, I am not actually an opossum.

1) Do not allow everyday acts of violence to become normalized;

2) Do not allow increasingly vile & inhumane and violent and disturbing rhetoric and ideas to become normalized. Call them out (ie. thank you to those who marched in response to the neo-Nazi march in Columbus!)
