[Opinions] Much too much.
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
Much too... ridiculous, I'd have to say. It's something that celebrities inflict on their children, IMO, and can only get away from it because their children are going to grow up rich with a famous mother and/or father.
Plant or flower or tree names aren't across teh board silly to me. Lily, I respect. Rose, I like. Lilac, Lavender, Laurel, Iris, Fern, and whatever else all sit well with me, too. Even something less usual like Trillium, Marigold, Osmunda, Hyacinth and so on I could take. But Tigerlily is just... too much. Maybe it's on account of it having "tiger" in it; you're not naming a girl after only a flower but also giving her a connection to an animal.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.
