Crazy Cat Guy's Husband commented on Who Causes Cyclists' Deaths?.

As a driver and a cyclist, I can agree that drivers need to take precautions to avoid harming bicyclists because of the size and weight disparity.

On the other hand, I'm sorry I didn't do serious damage to the bicyclist who blew through a stop sign yesterday as I was trying to make a legal left turn at the intersection. He was clearly daring me to hit him.

Most bicycle riders are law-abiding, courteous and cautious. Other cyclists are too stupid or too anarchistic to be on the road and will pay the cost of their stupdity. (True of drivers and pedestrians, too, of course.)

And in this case "the party" is unified behind whom? Which party? Unified on what basis?

In addition to using tools, crows can recognize and remember a threatening human face.

You might wish to disguise your antipathy by adopting a friendly stance, perhaps greeting a crow with a jaunty "hello, Crow!" as I do.

You have been warned.

Along the same line, philosopher Richard Mohr writes that sex and religion are in competition as modes of ecstatic experience:

. . . it is not merely as a need that sexual pleasure is central to human life; in intensity and in kind it is unique among human pleasures; it has no passable substitute from other realms of life. For ordinary persons--not mystics or adolescent poets--orgasmic sex is the only access they have to ecstasy. ... It is no accident therefore that religions have provided a fairly constant opposition to sex. The stiff and immediate competition that sex gives to religion as an end of life, paired with the fact that sexual arousal is not chiefly an act of will but something that comes over one, is too much for most religions to address adequately, especially Western ones that hold good will and good acts as paths to salvation and its ecstatic achievement.
