I don't like to be in the forest. It's a weird thing. I've learned to have a general appreciation for nature, which has taken a while. But the forest, I still don't really love.

If New Vegas foretells something about America's future, then the culture wars are all but over, and culture lost.

I don't read the "letters" section of Time magazine. I think it's just my habit as a reader. I don't read comments on stories, in general.

I can't explain why I don't read comments. Maybe because I worked at Time for so long and they don't have them, so I keep forgetting that they're there.

The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying.

I'm not that clued into what people are that touchy about and how many of them there are and how niche these niches are.

Basically, I wake up, take care of my son for a little while, and then like, "I am gonna write!" And then I wind up.
