    Television is a luxery.

    If you've got cable TV is no more FOX than radio is really all ClearChannel. It is a window on the world and the diversity of opinion if you're already inclined to look through it. If you're not you're not going to be inclined to think for yourself in the first place.

    If you saw away at a large chunk of meat with a small but sharp knife you can make a deep wound.

    Try "sawing away" at something, anything, with an awl. The whole point here is that a velociraptor claw is not a sharp knife, but a pointy stick.

    You can make a wound as deep as the "hilt", but no "longer" than the diameter of the claw.
