"How funny that you would take offense."
Yep, pretty funny that someone would be offended. Also funny that others would be offended that someone was offended.

Back to the thread topic...Ginger, love your sense of humor and sense of style!
I always hated that little piece of trash "the serenity prayer." It represented to me hours and hours of torture and offered me not one bit of solace.
Thought that is silenced is always rebellious. Majorities, of course, are often mistaken. This is why the silencing of minorities is necessarily dangerous. Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions.

YECHH. Do you think it has anything to do with all those thought reform raps, hours and hours of them, that said if we ever left the seed the music would drive us nuts?
One of the few truths I took from the place...
Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.
