All I've got right now is about a foot of snow heaped on my lawn, mostly clear roads to drive on and the sad, exhausting realization that SLB's mother is the kind of Christian that makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall, as that would actually accomplish something.

I cleared most of the table and did dishes instead. Go me.

On the nature of hypocrisy, which is "more hypocritical"? Thinking and believing one view on society but not saying anything because you know it could end with a punch in the nose, or saying exactly what you think and believe, thus risking said punch in the nose?
