Yes, it has been awhile.
The holidays were hard enough on me this year and I was bound and determined NOT to watch the news or argue with any of the demagogues over here.....
Plus I injured myself on the job and am home on Workmans' Comp.
Tonight the Christmas decorations came down and the gloves came off.
Everyone's fair game again.
;~)

>So you picked up on the "Christian concept of Grace" thought. I suspect that's "past" 'em. No idea. And they're the Christians.

Yeah, I guess it all depends where they are on the personal ladder of spiritual growth.
"What?" they say?
If it doesn't involve money or war, they have no opinion on it.

>It has to be absolutely miserable to be living better than 99.9% of the world ever has, and not be able to appreciate it, focussing instead on what it costs to have that standard of living.

A timely reminder. One wonders how we got this far and can be so unappreciative at times.

>Great to "talk" with you again, have you heard from Publius? He got pretty hot about Israel, haven't "seen" from him since.

Publius is pretty busy these days. He occasionally lurks, but can't give this board the rocking it needs. I see him all the time for coffee.......and other things.
Hey, even though he's a liberal, we don't always agree.
As a matter of fact, our different political persuasions have kept us arguing or agreeing with each other over the years.
It's a shame.
Maybe you should put out the call to him.
