I wonder if it possible that this thread can be remotely less petty and depraved than in was today. There are so many people on this thread I truly care about -- and I don't like seeing things spiral out of control and people fleeing and feeling uncomfortable as I did not many times at work when I popped in today say hello. Anyway...parting thought for this evening...courtesy of Nelson Mandela:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
"I'm a one-eyed Mormon Democrat from conservative Arizona, and you can't have a higher handicap than that."
