Now this is how to spend a day. Robin, being the terrible influence she is, convinced me to cut out of work at noon. We went to Terrapin and watched the snow fall, read the paper, talked about politics, and drank copious amounts of coffee. Then I came here, worked on my website, and got a call from Robin (why won't she leave me alone?!) telling me to turn on Oprah because Michael Moore was the guest. For once, I actually watched Oprah, and enjoyed Moore's interview. I've been meaning to see Bowling For Columbine for a while, but I've been procrastinating. Anyway, one of Moore's points, aside from the rather obvious observation about our country's obsession with guns, is that we're a culture that's afraid of all the wrong things and none of the right ones, and that perhaps this is part of the reason we're so attached to our weapons. This got me thinking, and I came up with the following list.
