It's Macbeth, isn't it? But slightly paraphrased?

It takes a certain level of staggering genius to manage to sound exactly like Lawhs, yet also tweak the prose so the dial turns to 'even more batshit'.

As I child, I mentally pronounced 'awry' as 'aw-ree'. That's what you get for reading ancient children's tomes about British boarding schools.

I think it's really to do with my nature more than anything. I remember at one 48hour party getting very angry with a drunk skinhead who was being mean to his puppy.
Because no one who has an abortion would ever care about the welfare of puppies or other vulnerable creatures?
Right.

hard-wired
This is on a shortlist of Words I Hate Seeing in Any Internet Forum.
(Sorry Bart. I know you're not being one of those 'it is naaaaatural for me to spray my seeeeeeed far and wide, while you, timid loyal lady, stay at home nurturing my many behbehs!!!' dudes. But they all use 'hard-wired'. A lot.)

I think I want to be Lucy's hype-person too. Can someone hand me a white towel and a microphone?

the ability a few of the regulars, e.g. Danielle... have to pull the conversation back from quibbling over minutiae to topical discussion
Speaking for myself, I think about 75% of my life, both virtual (PAS-included) and meat-based, is basically spent quibbling over minutiae. But thanks. :)

The 'trivialising a murder' part was aimed at Brickley and the 'as part of a terrorist campaign' part was aimed at you. I'm equal opportunity, me.

It is incredibly weird (and not really surprising, all the same) that these sorts of conversations always wind up in the 'let's define murder!'/'let's define terrorism!'/'let's define late-term!' spiral of crapola. I understand the purpose it serves (trivialising a murder as part of a terrorist campaign because we don't likey teh abortionz), but it's frustrating anyway.

It seems I wasn't the only one suspicious of the claim that only three doctors in the US would perform late term abortions.
So there *may* be six doctors instead of three, for a country of three hundred million. Women in the US are just *rolling* in late term abortion providers, aren't they? It's clear that none of the doctors are the least intimidated by that constant threat of death. Hooray!
