I would like to preface this essay by noting that I should neither be impelled to clarify my current position nor disavow my prior in order to be taken with some degree of serious thought. At the same time, I own stock in salt mines. Please act accordingly.
UPDATE: I must conclude, tentatively, that being turned into a whale (by a wizard, but not by a reverse-Darwin) is awesome. I will tell Bill O'Reilly that Kos believes whales are more awesome than people. Thx!
