That's a very laudable way to go about things. Go ahead and tally yourself another fan.

Can you promise that Animal Network will not devolve into a reality TV spewing shitpile, and will instead provide educational television?

That'd be super awesome.

I had my wrist (both bones) set with failed local anesthetic, so I have a slight inkling of the enormity of pain that you had to deal with.

You have my condolences, and respect.

I'd like to take a moment and upvote this, as the single most terrifying thing said in this AMA.

The ex-law enforcement official is telling us that the people who put checks on the law enforcement system don't do their jobs.

This is unacceptable, and one of the main reasons I cannot wait for 20-30 years to pass and a good chunk of old corruption simply dies of attrition.

As someone who was raised in the Catholic church, I've got a few questions for you.

How come new churches are being consecrated without a relic in the alter? Happened at a church near me recently, couldn't get any answers about it. They also decided to put cameras almost behind the alter. Yay.

How do you feel about the papacy moving in a more liberal direction?

How come the phrasing in the prayers was changed? I view it as pandering to make the language more explicit to avoid some of the hazy phrasing, but it destroyed the cadence of many of them, and honestly is a put off.

I have a handful of other questions that I've posed to a myriad of bishops and cardinals as well that still remain unanswered, but I don't want to be the person hurling questions that can only really be answered in a poor fashion.
