Funny, Ivan, That is the line that got me thinking about openly gay and happens to be gay. I am a HUGE Carlin fan, and I quote him more times than I should. He would be rich just on royalties... I must admit that I know the Christian Bible, the Koran, the Torah, and others. However, I don't fully believe any of them. I prefer to believe a different way, which is a different thread all together... *note to self, start new thread about religion*. I think that if a Bishop knows the religion, understands the religion, and can teach the religion to others in a pure and meaningful way, then it should not matter what his sexual preference is. Doesn't the Christian book also say something about God being the only judge of man? I know that the Koran and Torah says so. So isn't is a paradox? I mean if you go literally about it, a homosexual man can not lead the flock because GOD condemns homosexuality, but it is a judgment call by humans to tell him he can't because he is homosexual, so humans are also commiting an equal sin because all sins are equal in GOD's eye.

I agree, but through all the talk shows that I listen to at work (I like to be on top of current events), everyone has said "The New Bishop of New Hampshire, ___ (insert name here), who happens to be gay..." I personally find it appalling that it has to be an issue. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Why is it that when someone mentions someone else being gay, they always use the prefix "happens to be..."? The new bishop of New Hampshire said in a press release, "...I don't think our church will suffer from a bishop who happens to be gay...." Did the bishop wake up one day and happen to trip on the gay stone and realized he was gay? No. He was always gay. So instead of padding the situation, just come straight out and say it. (No pun intended) Yet another example of the euphamistic language that America has to use to be 'politically correct' and hide the truth just a little. AGH!

Quade, I agree with what you said. Only, there is a catch. How is it possible to speak to an officer of the law, under arrest, without sounding like a smartass and having it used against you in a court of law? Besides jumpers letting the officers confiscate the rig and the officers doing so without statute, it is more like an unspoken rule than anything. Cops do it and don't know why, jumpers let them and don't know why. Maybe we should educate them all...

It was hard for me to get back in the air after Huggy went in at the 300-way at SDC a couple years back. Now it is even harder to continue to jump after Roger passed. The only way I jump now is on small RW jumps; I won't do big freefly jumps anymore... too many "other people" in the air.

Never witnessed one. Knew one that died. Saw the aftermath of a mid-air collision where one died and the other was in ICU for 4 months. Glad to say that he is up and around and we actually cooked out last night. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Christina Aguilerra, N'Sync (and all those bastards that went solo), P-Diddy and all his 'friends,' and KEEP THE COUNTRY MUSIC OFF MY ROCK STATION! I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Summer sunshine on my shoulder Time going slower than a snail When will 5:00 get here? Blue skies above But when I look up I see florescent lights.

Dude, if you have your own rig, pull the pin and walk the canopy out, then repack it. I did that like 12 times one weekend. Practice, practice, practice. That is my theory...

that article had more "quotations" than the Piers Anthony novel I am reading... "That" is all the "politicians" want to "do." "They" never want to tell "us" the "truth." I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

*YAWN* Whose campaign do we get to thank for that total waste of time? I think I actually lost a few IQ points due to all the doubletalk...
