In my professional environment, we discussed satisfaction and joy when clients demonstrate growth, maturity, and enhanced character aspects. Counselors in California could be different.

Adversary? Hardly! My team are paying your welfare cheques. I do not receive welfare. I do receive social security which was earned. But anyway, thank you and keep it comin'.

Like soldiers, cops and firefighters? What do you know about them? The aforementioned are civil servants. IMO, government workers just report to an office or a cubicle.

I know Ron is retired. And I am 'retired' (laid off, not looking). But how do the rest of you manage your SC duties while still getting paid? I think there are a lot of government workers and computer nerds. Basically, all they have to do is show up. My son-in-law is a programmer. He only has to be at the office a couple days a week. He can work at home on his laptop. And government workers...we all know about government workers. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

An after thought on that experience at grad school. I changed my major from business to rehab counseling. It became apparent to me that I wanted to become a listener and try to help others in distress. It was a very good decision. The Lord has blessed me.

Imagine what the professor thought of the two students who didn't learn anything. Some of the most challenging MIT classes I suffered through required a minimum of 100 hours per week studying. Without challenging the professors for further explanation. An old saying, if the student did not learn, the instructor did not teach. Maybe you've heard it before. It was fairly popular in sport parachuting circles some years back. Interactive discourse between teacher and student is an integral part of the learning process and is a benefit to both.

Preferring my kids get a science education from an academic over a cleric is not an attack on religion. True, your's was specific towards the Judeo-Christian belief. This hoax was particularly amusing because I and a classmate did something similar in a graduate business course. We were enrolled in some sort of management analysis class. The professor was a woman named Margaret who held a PhD. Her instruction was boring and seemed to lack any real substance. At the end of the term she broke us up into two-man teams. We were given some analytical problem and we were instructed to present a ten page paper on the problem and its appropriate solution. My teammate and I were totally lost. We did not have a clue how to handle this assignment. I decided to make an appointment with her for a conference. When I explained our dilemma she exploded in an outburst of anger. She chastised me for seeking advice on the assignment. Needless to say my opinion of her went to less than zero. My friend and I thought about it, decided we were screwed and conceived a ten page paper complete with statistical analyses that measured absolutely nothing. We presented it to the class along with a couple graphs or pie charts. When we were finished there was no discussion from anyone in the class including the professor. As we left the classroom one student came up to me and said, “That was total bullshit.” I looked him in the eye and said, “You bet.” The esteemed PhD graded the paper as a B. What I learned, and it was a solid lesson, was definitely outside the parameters of the course description. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

When I learned of this hoax on the radio yesterday I thought it was acutely hilarious. I decided to share it with SC for some relief from the misery of President Trump's election. I do find it interesting that the academic journal did not recognize it for its absurdity on the first review. They asked for more examples, reviewed it again and then published it. One of the main sources the authors cited is: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ This website will provide a different page each time it is reloaded. It makes me ponder the question, are these academics the people that are teaching our children? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Pretty much. Then the Mormon Church pushed for Prop 8 - and suddenly they were being attacked. So they fought back, as anyone who is attacked will fight back. ***The problem came when BHO declared them special. He never declared them "special." He merely supported their right to be like everyone else. We know that feeling. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

I've been thinking a little more about this and I have an addition - it's not Trump specific, but it is related. I think we as a society are all so caught up in the trainwreck that is the current administration we're neglecting the biggest problem - that no matter what happens about 50% of the population will feel disenfranchised with the result, and that the government is not acting in the interests of what they consider to be the population. 50%. As numbers go that's about as dangerous as it gets. A society can handle 20% or 30%; somthing like that. That's to be expected. But 50% is an incredibly unstable state. It's equal pressures being applied to two groups who both feel put upon. The only thing that is holding that pressure together is the shared belief in the fairness and justness of the systems that are in place. If that belief becomes eroded (and that's what I see happening through the 'fake news' headlines, the various conspiracy trends and the political sniping that has reached unbelievable levels) then I think there's an increased likelihood that fairly large scale civil unrest could happen. At a time when we need to be coming together as a population I only see us being driven into more polar opposite positions. If I were President I'd run on reducing that figure to 55-45, and even that would be a massive achievement. This is something that is going to take decades to even stop, let alone reverse. I believe we are pretty much on the same page here. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Honest question: Do you think Trump realizes how far the Russians are into him?

I don't recall anyone saying that. Certainly I did not. I just asked you to stop flinging poo. (In case you don't get it: making up silly generalizations about people you don't know and indeed actively avoid, such as educated people, is flinging poo.) They are not visible because they are just regular people, not (as some imagine) monsters out to destroy society or your marriage or whatever. Just ordinary folks who want to be left alone to live their lives without having people fling poo at them. So to speak. Don I am one of the educated people, MA remember. I am wondering how they got sorted out to be counted and judged in first place. I have always believed they wanted to be left alone and just live their lives. The problem came when BHO declared them special. Then the progressive left declared that science does not determine gender. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

My thinking along those lines as well. Selco stated that a gold ring might be good to offer in order to pass a checkpoint.

You know nothing about me or my background. You have no idea if I belong in what you derogatorily term 'the intellectual elite' or in your precious 'talented, capable and resourceful' class. But this is a fascinating look into your mind. I did not know that the term "intellectually elite" was derogatory. Live and learn, thanks for the heads up. Oh, what fascinates you about my mind?

The glass isn't dark, it's just got your shit all over it. Please stop throwing it at the fan, that's a nasty nasty habit. By the way, I heard a story on NPR this morning about how Blue Ridge GA has the highest percentage of gay and lesbian couples in the state. Isn't your compound up near there? Don I was only trying to be helpful in my original post to yoink. Funny how I always become the flame magnet. Die, conservative Christian die. That is interesting. A native resident and local businessman here said that the percentage was high. I did not know we were in first place. For some reason they are not visible.

You seem to think that the two classes are mutually exclusive. Not true at all. Although many of those who think they are in the "survivor class" and disdain the "intellectual elite" are woefully unprepared for what real, long term, survival will entail (helpful hint: it involves a lot of knowledge and intellect) Mutually exclusive classes are an idea promulgated by the progressive liberal left, especially exemplified by the posters here in the SC. You folks want conservative Christians dead and gone. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
