Various.
Wow. Are people touchy around here or what?
Maybe it's just me, but I happen to think that unless the Creator
Him/Herself comes down to earth and sticks a billboard up yer butt, no
one here knows "the Truth" down to the last detail. I don't, you don't,
and Jerry Fallwell sure as hell doesn't. What's important is that we
recognise that what works for one person may not work for us, but that
doesn't give us the right to trample on or speak disrespectfully of
someone else's beliefs. And yes, I know that some Christians believe it's
impossible for anyone else to actually be right in regards to religion (I
don't mean that to sound bitchy but I'm unsure how else I could possibly
put it), but at least on this list, it would be nice if we could at least
maintain the illusion of acceptance for all. Unlike the UK, this country
follows (in theory, at least) a policy of religious freedom, not mere
religious tolerance.
In other words, arguing who's right and who's wrong is about as useful as
arguing about when my manager's going to piss me off again. Eventually,
we'll all find out (I promise to post the results; anyone want to start a
pool?), but until then, the snapping and sniping accomplishes nothing and
merely raises the dander of the list, making everyone allergic to dander
sneeze.
Posting a private email on a public list is...er...very bad form.
I don't know who Marsha is, either, but having met Jason, I'm sure she's
a very striking individual.
I don't think the Pagans _own_ the phrase "Blessed Be," but it is pretty
much a subtle identifier for most of my Pagan friends. I have strong
Wiccan sympathies, and I'll use it myself when the time seems
appropriate, but I rarely see it outside my friends', er, circles-- no
pun intended.
Lara: "If I'm Drowning" Live. Can there be any other?
David: I have a free rental upgrade from Hertz. It's seven hours to Ohio.
I'm thinking Caddy.
Bru-say: you one craaazy white boy.
Kelvin: I do actually have a maroon corset. Well, it's more blood-red.
Unfortunately, I'll be wearing it myself come the Taft show.
The 33 didn't look like buildings to me. Looked like two pieces of paper.
But I'm so proud that Snopes.com is getting a decent workout. Now, if
they'd just put up something about Bill Maher getting canceled....
We made goal for our store tonight. First time in two weeks. I've very
firmly told all my customers that it's their duty as Americans to support
the economy by spending money. The Canadians don't appreciate that so
much.
I mentioned to someone that my Swiss Army knife accompanied me several
times last week. He suggested I tell someone in authority. I later
discovered someone trying to prove a point had gotten himself snapped up
by the FBI at my very place of employment this morning for doing the same
thing, only bigger. He brought in several pointy things with no problems,
then introduced himself to the authorities. They were not amused. I don't
think I'm going to go that route just yet.
I got to listen to FFR quite loudly many times tonight. Thanks, Karin.
You improved my evening quite a bit.
