i try to give both sides of issues a fair read.. all of you who have been convinced by scientific evidence that global warming has been caused by man and can be stopped by man should read the above.. how about specific comments pertaining to the above for a change rather than simply policy wank rants??.

in missouri at a ihop, a lesbian kissed another female (her gf) on the cheek, once while sitting in the restaurant.
the manager went over to the ladies and told them they were not welcomed there and therefore had to leave.
the women described the kiss on the cheek as a similar type of kiss to an "uncle".
I live five hours North of Toronto, Ontario, inside the world's second largest meteor impact crater
I've never met anyone who lived in a meteor crater. Hmmm...do y'all have lesbians ?
our little town of 600 people was but a dot on the map.
but that year was great.
i saw great mountains, camped at elevation, redwoods, tasted pomegranates and olives from the trees they grew on, dodged black widows, explored and conquered the streets of a little town named patterson.
Jeff, great story! We were both baptized in '73...you've very accurately captured the prevailing attitudes... and the JW mindset...pre-Harmy-geddy.
You're a good story teller, now I've got to read parts 1 & 2 !

International House of Pancakes
A restaurant chain that serves...well, pancakes and other stuff. It's international...don't they have them up in Canuck Landia ?

Like most others...I wouldn't have a problem if people, male, female or transgendered, kissed each other in public. I wouldn't care if they kissed on the mouth, as long as it was a brief simple form of affection and not a drawn out tonsil sucking.
For instance, at my wedding I kissed my honey good & long on the mouth...right in front of everybody ! Imagine that !
It's simply none-of-my-business, as long they aren't harming or bothering me or mine by putting-on-a-show for shows sake.

*sigh* I have a feeling aspirin (another wonder drug) would be outlawed, too if it hadn't already been in such wide spread useage.

richard parker, a member of the jehovah`s witnesses, says that the refusal of transfusions is one of their fundamental beliefs.
based on what is written in the bible.it is not forbidden by their faith but is a matter of choice for the individual, he said.. who is richard parker - branch committee?
Sure...fearing God & fearing shunning...they have a choice: The Frying pan or the Fire.

Thank you, tetra. I am hoping that as mad as people are with Bush & friends...the Democrats will have a chance to swing the pendulum of social justice back towards the middle in 2008.

The main reason I posted this is because of a friend of mine. She is not a typical pot user (whatever that is) in the last several years she had had numerous back surgeries, including a botched one where hardware was installed poorly. She has a degenerative bone disease which keeps any of her surgeries from lasting too long.
She's near 60 and a very smart hardworking lady who works as a loan officer for many years. She lives in excruciating pain, if she took any more pain Rx's she probably would become addicted. Every night she smokes a joint which has been the only thing that has worked to relax her enough to rest at home and get to sleep.
The stress from constant pain releases all sorts of destructive chemical into your body. Her vertebrae are slowly deteriorating and after a while they won't hold all the screws, bolts, pins and other metal hardware. When that happens...well, imagine having mush for a spine.
She's in the middle of changing jobs and they will drug test her. So, she's given the pot up for now. You cannot imagine the difference in her mood and quality of life. She needs the insurance benefits of this new job, knowing she'll be faced with more surgeries and pain pills she cannot afford now.
Marijuana not only works, but, is much cheaper and safer that any of the powerful drugs she takes now.
It just makes no sense to me that the cops may be ordered to arrest this single, working grandmother for trying to enjoy what's left of her life. To me...that truly is a "pursuit of happiness."
i have heard two vastly differing viewpoints on this subject over the years.
regarding your significant other, would you care if they went to a strip club or not?
some examples: .
Mzzz. Rabbit sez:
No it wouldn't bother me, I'll go with him.
We go 2 - 3 times a year, it's all good fun. It all depends on the individuals not being jealous or overbearing. AND...they must be totally secure in their love. Which we are, so there !
