RIP Dr Tiller

America, you sadden me. And to those churches who have preached hate against this man and his clinic for years, you are to blame, don't pretend otherwise.

In other news, the last survivor of the Titanic has died, which is one of those odd pieces of trivia that should mean nothing, and yet is still sad. Biscuit the spare cat has returned from wherever she has been hiding for the last week, and whoever cast Calista Flockhart as a character younger than Rachel Griffiths and only slightly older than Balthazar Getty is a cruel, cruel bastard.

Large swathes of the US population are still profoundly fundamentalist i.e. non-rational. It's a worry.

And as a besotted cat-owned-person, I'm tempted to say something really silly like "Biscuit was never a spare for Harry!" (misquoting the Twoseekers comm motto!) Am glad she's back, anyway.

There are a lot of fundamentalists who are not murderers. And technically, Fundamentalism is a Protestant movement, even though the usage for ultraconservative factions in any religion has spread.

Extremism is abhorrent. And the US does tend to be extreme. Over all sorts of things.

Yay for cats. *goes to snuggle* V. important to remember cats at times like these.
