Sunday Sermonette: Isaac Asimov
This week, I have the privilege of introducing C&L readers to the Sunday Sermonette. Revere explains how this blog tradition works:

[E]very Sunday we devote time to freethinker words or thoughts, our Sunday Sermonettes. We have been doing this for a long time. Some readers love it. Some hate it. We just do it. It won't get you anywhere to complain. Encouragement, however, is always welcome.] (links added)

--Isaac Asimov
--Lindsay Beyerstein from Majikthise
