I don’t want to get into the details, because they’re complicated and involve people whose real names I’d rather not say and don’t actually know, but today someone I respect a great deal thanked me for standing up for “logic and All That is Good.” It made me smile a big smile, even though basically all I did was:

1) say what I thought in a contentious discussion, without

2) calling anyone a stupidhead.

I guess that’s an accomplishment. ;-)

In honor of the day, I’ve decided to give you a picture of a real superhero who rather looks the part: Heather, the volunteer coordinator at the Women’s Center I volunteered at 5 years ago. She was getting her M.Ed at Harvard last I heard from her, so presumably she’s off saving some kids as we speak.
