65. I'm sure its being watched... I think people are afraid of taking an unpopular stand, and others are
not comfortable with challenging their knee-jerk reactions.

Thank you so much for your kind words... this is really taking a chunk out of me, so your admonision not to let it "get me down" is a day late and a dollar short. ~~gigglesnort~~

You'd think, after years of espousing the very unpopular cause of poverty and homelessness, that I wouldn't be bothed by peoples' shit, but it simply doesn't work that way. I am able to care about people I don't know.. the Egyptians, the Libyans, and other poor and homeless people I have never met, because I was created as a sensitive person. I'm simply not willing to kill off that part of me, even if I could... it makes me what I am, even if it also creates suffering.

I really think we are going to have to find a way to have an indepth discussion of the REsponsibility what-ever-it-is thingie that pinboy or josh posted.

Its really a DAMNED good thing I am not confused.

Do you admire my confusion, too? :silly: :pals:
