I was over at [livejournal.com profile] ginmar's lj where they are discussing Cheney's shooting of Harry Whittington. I burst out laughing at one of the comments: The accident is the CIA's fault, actually. On the basis of bad intelligence, Cheney believed Whittington was a quail. It was a bit of humor in a far more serious concern--our vice-president actually shot a man!! I can't help wondering how this will play out.

I came across a thought provoking ficlet the other day. It was How It Ends by [livejournal.com profile] nasty_shrew. Since I've read it I've been thinking of other possibilities that might have been, leaving us with the BtVS canon as we know it.

Also yesterday I read a quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "You are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." This put me to thinking about all the Spander fics with feral Spike or freed-from-chip Spike who, out of love for Xander, limits his eating to bad guys (in effect he's tamed). Does that make Xander from then on responsible for Spike? Probably not as Spike is a sentient being who can revert back to pure untamed vampire. But if Spike behaves for love of Xander wouldn't that make Xander, the white knight, have stay with him even if he falls out of love with Spike, impossible as that is to conceive?
