You are too small to be one.<br /><br />You look like a tiny one-winged bird.<br />If you are your mother will come and kill you.<br />If you are not you will probably beat yourself to death.<br /><br />But what matters is that every room in the house is filled,<br />is filled with the cry of the eagle.<br />Exterminating the eagles is now all but impossible<br />for the house would fall down without them.<br /><br />There is a photograph of a dead bird somewhere.<br />Everywhere you walk there are feathers.<br />You look like a tiny one-winged bird.<br />There is the birdcall.

As for the yes or no itself and implications for either, I had no idea. I just hope that when the Confederacy votes to secede, yes wins.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-72484451904952884282014-09-19T10:33:23.646-04:002014-09-19T10:33:23.646-04:00Oh, come on, you're not that socially maladapt...Oh, come on, you're not that socially maladapted.<br />Uhm, not to be condescending, seriously, but the margin in the Scottish vote is only surprising if you didn't look at the margin of error in the polls--which were already inherently flawed because of the way the rules shaped the electorate. It's also not surprising because, for more Scots, seceding from Great Britain would've been really stupid. Which is not to say that stupidity prevents outcomes.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.com
