No, this has nothing to do with agnosticism. Unless you're using the word in the "I feel vaguely wishy washy about all this and don't want to commit to a position" sense. Not its original technical meaning but popular these days.

    Make sure you use a smart search and replace tool, though. I still remember many years later reading a story with a protagonist named Virginia, and then hitting a scene with a bunch of commentary about a character's "vaVirginia". It was memorable both for the "suddenly pornography" element of it and also the "ah, in an earlier draft of this story the protagonist's name used to be shortened to Gina!" realization.

    The whole point of hope is to get it up. It drives action.

    True, the Democrats are masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. But maybe they'll fuck up fucking it up this time around.
