My youngest daughter turned 27 today. After the call I was all weepy. These were the good kind of tears. 27? Wow.
Like every parent is told at some time or another, they grow up quick. They sure do.
Then when I went home for lunch there in the mailbox was a letter from one of my high school classmates wanting to know if this summer or fall works best for our 40th high school reunion. 40 friggin years, are you kidding me?? These were not happy tears. Yikers.
I teared up this morning, then again at lunch

I am not too old for my father to advise me that I eat to fast and I should slow down as he did at lunch today. (he is 84, I am younger than that)
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
