I don't believe that human ethnic groups are equal, and I believe that's fairly easy to prove.

It was simultaneously refreshing and a bit shocking to see how cavalierly most Aussies toss out slurs and insults about nonwhites.

It amazes me that some people who ordinarily can recognize autocratic bullying, tacky sloganeering, and - especially - camp value are unable to spot it in this Hate Scare that grips the Western world.

I think that any time a person comes face-to-face with their own mortality - close enough to Death that they can smell its breath - they have a choice: 1) Fall to pieces; 2) Reassemble yourself and keep walking.

What's absolutely impossible to prove is the idea of innate and everlasting equality.

I'm developing a mild rash at the idea of "plugging" anything, because it's not how I roll.

The idea that the reader is important enough to me that I'd tailor my words to either please or offend them always seems amusingly alien to me.
