RIP Roger Moore

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

My dad has been on my mind a lot this week. No anniversaries coming up or anything. Just there.

The other day, I was telling my cousin one of the best times I had with my dad as an adult was the time we saw Moonraker and then ate Vietnamese food. And how I always thought kindly of Roger Moore because I saw how much my dad enjoyed the movie.

I'm glad you have happy memories.

I associate Moonraker with a terrible first date. :roll:
