So I have a confession to make: I hate the idea of disagreeing with someone in public. I know, I know - most of you have no problem with it (hello, Shaw), but this is something I've never been good at, even in anonobloggy land.

Which is too bad, 'cause I've developed a new shameful habit: reading conservative Christian blogs.

One forgets about such things, holed up in San Francisco with her books and wacky neighbors.
