World

The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm, but because of those who look at it without doing anything.

~ Albert Einstein

Elizabeth: Will BP have to pay for all the oil cleanup?

Me: No. They won't pay for all the people's livelihoods they ruined.

Chris: For example, say, "Sally" who used to be a shucker. The shuckers are already getting laid off.

Elizabeth: Oh, that's what she used to do?

Me: No, Elizabeth. Not Sally Deters. Your mom was just using that as an example name.

Elizabeth: Well, she should have used a different name. Like Emily.

(as if we don't know anyone named Emily)
