So it goes, and he is gone. Good-bye, dear Kurt Vonnegut. I (for one) will miss you. “When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that same person is just fine in plenty of other moments.

If I haven’t included your BAT post, please let me know! I invited some of my fave bloggers to participate in the blogswarm. Here are two that did. I’m not sure whether they’ve been listed, but I sure didn’t want to leave these great posts out!

Can you believe it? Even more excerpts from the Blog Against Theocracy blogswarm. Here’s my post. Alrighty then, starting with number 76… 76) Runesmith’s Canadian Content: We must hold fast to our compassion, our tolerance, and our respect for one another.
