Does anyone who posts here bother to read the Christian Science Monitor? Just curious. rl On occasion. It is good. I just wondered. We complain about bias left and bias right, and as far as I know, the only bias the CSM has is an inability to be critical of Christian Science. All in all, I can handle that if everything else is straight reporting. I understand there's less fodder for argument (God forbid) without sensationalism, but such media offers the opportunity to actually consider what's happening without arguing over...uh...bias. Are there any other news sources that the folks here consider similar to the CSM? rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Has it ever occurred to you to talk to your mother about how it was being her while you were a kid? rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Ah, no. The universe must balance. Besides, I know how you love to be the center of attention. Never again. So that was supposed to be symbolic for giving me space? Funny. Actually, I was hoping to live long enough to be on the first generation ship...but the space program flailed. Maybe my grandchildren... We need to get off this planet. You'll have to catch me first. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Well, Jef, you've outdone yourself. But it is "your" Michigan, not "our" Michigan. Never. Not a chance. I will admit that the pictures are pretty, even if they're misleading as to the cold, the wind, the snow, the sleet, the ice.... And the Chaikin book was truly inspired.

You didn't do mine. I started to do it, but with 4355 responses, I was just a little boggled. Besides, my stalkees are not correctly reflected by post responses, but by...um...other things. If you go by the post responses, I'm probably stalking PJ. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

During the time I was "unemployed" when Beck was small (a couple of months while I was married to my ex-husband), I worked harder than I ever did when I was employed. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Boy oh boy, do I have a headache now. First of all, I was asked a question in a PM. So I answered it: "Self-centered, but not selfish." Then I amended it to "self-involved." Here's my definition: A self-involved person would give you the shirt off his back...if it ever occurred to him (on his own, without prompting) that you needed a shirt. But such people do not notice that you're running around topless because...they're too self-involved. I agree with PLFXpert that a certain amount of self-centeredness is good. Taking care of oneself means that one will have the time and energy to take care of others. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not going to get into the rest of this here. I didn't realize this was going to become forum fodder (although I should have) or I'd have been much more specific about what I wrote in the PM. Anyway, I thought some of the comments here were interesting, and this is actually a good discussion. I just want to be clear about what I meant in the conversation that preceded this thread. rl P.S. No, Jef, you're not in trouble. If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Blaming the NRA for something they didn't do, does not help your reputation for presenting facts or demonstrating logic. Uh... This post does not help your reputation for reading comprehension.

In my heart, I stalk you every day.

Playing devil's advocate here, he has functioned in society for some time now and has nothing in his record to indicate that he is any different from anyone else in the populace or any more of a threat. I know a lot of people who have never done anything that would cause them to be arrested, but they've done untold damage to others anyway. I also know a fair number of people who could've and probably should've ended up in jail for things they've done, but they were clever or lucky. Not all criminals are in jail, not all those in jail are criminals. And some people are just destructive to everything and everyone around them. So if I understand you correctly, you are just making a generalization? I'm saying that based on what I read in the various articles and my own experience with similar situations, he appears to me to be a lifelong control freak who slipped over the edge. Again, depends on what state you are in. In Texas, you are well within your right to shoot people who are on your property without permission. I seem to remember a case where a repo man was shot dead trying to repo a car in Texas and the shooter was later exhonerated. Was the repo man mistaken for a car thief? The early reports all indicate that the kid was a good kid. Later reports indicate he was shot on his own lawn, not on the shooter's lawn. But you're right. We do need more information. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb
