This coffee is the best I have ever had. It is the best part of my morning. Keep up the great work and remember those who are counting on you each and every morning. This coffee is great over ice too! Thank you. Joan B

I think most of the “ism” in this story will be specism. Some of the newly-sentient animals will begrudge those handy opposable thumbs the bipeds have, while the bipeds will be awfully wary around a sentient grizzly bear who hasn’t figured out yet that he’s not supposed to kill for food any more. The boy will start out looking like a savior, but, through no fault of his own, will end up looking like a menace. Glad you like the idea; I think I may start putting it down on paper…see where it leads.

Mmm, just in time for Labor Day weekend. I guess then we’ll get to see how the Republican party handles the evacuation to reconstruction differently (since they’ve been blaming it on the Democrats for a while now). Would totally suck if it hits. Although, when Katrina went through the people here at work breathed a sigh of relief because New Orleans survived the landfall. Until I pointed out to everybody that it was tracking up the Mississippi River and guess where all that water runs to. So even if it doesn’t hit head on, it could still mean disaster. All that water has to go someplace.

sounds like a cool idea to me. Fight fire with fire. It’s always darkest before it goes pitch black. Fighting for peace. All of those have worked. Technology making technology obsolete works right in there.

And there will always be ways to express the racist philosophy (my guess is that the blond haired boy is the object of racism). There’s racism between Europeans (the Polish, Italians, Germans, Roma, etc). And when we can’t use race, we’ll use something like religion (Northern Ireland for example). Some people just want to act stupid toward other people and they’ll find any excuse to justify it to themselves.

@Steve: In a way that’s good to know, but then again, one of the reasons I want to go is to see all the costumes! It’s a conundrum… :-)

@Ennis: LOL!!

Roll saving throw against Geek Overload.

Have fun, Matt. I don’t know about DragonCon, but at most others there are specific times to be in costume, most people dress normally. Or at least look normal as long as you don’t scratch too hard. :)

They usually have plenty of t-shirts to choose from in the dealer’s room, BTW.
