  I find it very hard to fake anything. I am usually an upbeat smiley person anyway, and I great everyone with a smile. If I am really down, it shows, and everyone asks if I'm OK. I don't have any animosity towards any individuals in my cong., so why shouldn't I smile?

  Oprah for President in '08. Why? Why not?

  by AuldSoul in

  1. jw

  i have seen the idea floated a few times in some interesting places, but also on threads here.. i think she would get the vote out in a way it has never been gotten out before.

  it would also throw all the pollster's margins of error way out of whack (which might be worth it, all by itself).. why do you think she should be or could be elected president?.

  why do you think she shouldn't be or couldn't be elected president?.

  I admire and respect Oprah. I think her idealism and energy would make her an exellent leader. However, "power does corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely", so maybe it would change her in some way. Besides, she is black and a woman-two stikes against her in the mind of many.

  the ones i grew up with always speak to me even the ones who have subsequently become elders and are pioneers.. they sicken me!!!.

  i would like to shun them, eventhough we were freinds growing up.

  these are pitiful people.

  I know people who won't shop at Albertson's because they say the owner was disfellowshipped.

  I know a family that would not eat at the local Cracker Barrel because there was a rumor that all their servers were lesbians.

  Let's all pat ourselves on the back

  in the spirit of the retiring government cattle inspector who said when receiving a meritorious service award "this is not the the first time i've had a pat on the back", i think all of us here deserve to give ourselves a big pat on the back!!!.

  we have survived being trapped in a high-control organisation, we've been brainwashed, sat through meetings, been hypnotized (almost), and we managed to escape relatively intact.

  most of us have almost full use of all our mental facilites.

  Fuzzy Right-of-Way Rules Leads to Pathetic, Awkward, Theocratic Dork Fight

  apupi - idaho.

  "there were watchtowers and osmond cd's strewn around everywhere" recalled the shaken resident marjorie spade, whose yard was the setting for a lame, sissy fight.

  "i couldn't believe that in this day and age we still are fighting religious wars", she said in the aftermath of the flailing, ineffectual fracas.. apparantly the outbreak of faith-based nerd violence took place when two groups of youths approached eachother while out in their respective ministries.
