To do tonight

Play with Fluid. Create some apps from websites. See how big these new apps are.
- Advantages of Fluid SSBs:
  - Crashing an SSB does not take down Safari or other SSBs; crashing Safari does not take down SSBs.
  - A web application can be kept logically separate from regular web browsing.
Check out Skitch (I can't from work).

On language:

The book denounces income tax as "idolatry," property tax as "theft" and calls for an abolish of inheritance taxes in the chapter entitled Christian Economics. The loss of such tax revenues will bring about the withering away of the federal government and the empowerment of the authoritarian church, although this is not explict in the text. (The loss will bring this about -- according to whom? Is the author saying that this is certain to happen, or that the book implies that this will happen? You need a clause marker meaning "In reality" or "If this were to come about", and you need a clause marker meaning "According to this story" or "In the view of the person being discussed." [Or just "so he says" vs. "so I say.")
