…or the terrorists have won.

This week, je suis Charlie.    But also, we talk about the funny thing we wanted to talk about before intolerance intervened, and we interview David Williamson of the Central Florida Freethought Community on the recent marriage equality news there.

This is a long episode, as it includes an extended fourth segment, and about 10 minutes of material that was heavily suggested to me that we include.   Also, since we’re on the air, we’re a little “freer” with our language.

Regarding the question of getting tired and asking myself if I can be bothered, Yep, I find that my close compatriots tend to suffer burnout, as do I. Sometimes, I wonder why I bother. Does anything really change. Why keep going at this after 20 years or so. And then I remember, or am reminded, that absolutely this is the case. Shit changes, bro.
