Minu esimene blogi ning siin see on!
A man who is not a socialist at twenty has no heart. A man who still is a socialist at forty has no head.
WHEN we got home, the Pioneer Day Parade was just breaking up at the local storage center, and the Parade Marshal got out of his body and apologized to me for acting the way he had.
"Heck, Herb," I said, "you don't need to apologize. You weren't yourself. You were parading around in a body."
That's the best part of being amphibious, next to not being afraid — people forgive you for whatever fool thing you might have done in a body.
Oh, there are drawbacks, I guess, the way there are drawbacks to everything. We still have to work off and on, maintaining the storage centers and getting food to keep the community bodies going. But that's a small drawback, and all the big drawbacks I ever heard of aren't real ones, just old-fashioned thinking by people who can't stop worrying about things they used to worry about before they turned amphibious.
As I say, the oldsters will probably never get really used to it. Every so often, I catch myself getting gloomy over what happened to the pay-toilet business at took me thirty years to build.
But the youngsters don't have any hangovers like that from the past. They don't even worry much about something happening to the storage centers, the way us oldsters do.
So I guess maybe that'll be the next step in evolution — to break clean like those first amphibians who crawled out of the mud into the sunshine, and who never did go back to the sea.
Tere Jüri Kallas,
lugesin just lehekülge teie blogi aadressilt http://ulmeguru.blogspot.com/2007/03/saul-talve-lugejakiri-ehk-mats.html
Olen teie kirjutisest hämmastunud. Kui seadus ütleb, et autoril on õigus kirjutisi tagasi võtta ilma igasuguse põhjenduseta, siis milles probleem? Ma ei taipa, miks te minu soove isikliku rünnakuna võtate ja minu aadressil mõnitavat teksti lennutate. Kelleks te ennast peate? Ma ei palunud Algernoni koduleheküljelt seosed kustutada selleks, et teie selle informatsiooni oma blogisse ümber tõstaksite.
Ütlen täitsa siiralt, et mul pole ei teie ega ulmeklubi vastu mitte midagi. Soovisin, et minu nime all avaldatud kirjutis kaoks ühest võrguserverist ja kogu lugu. Kuna Taavi Tuvikene arvas, et viisakale palvele pole tarvis reageerida, siis põhjendasin oma soovi toetudes EV seadustele.
Teile siis sama palve, mis Taavi Tuvikesele -- olge nii kena ja kustutage seosed minu nime ja kõnealuse Algernoni artikli vahel. Loodan, et te saate minust aru ega arva, et tegemist on mingisuguse "ärapanemisvõistlusega".
