PSA of the Week
Do you think it is wrong – even immoral – to discriminate against someone because of their race or religion or sexuality? And yet are you one of the many who seems to think it’s okay to treat retail store personnel with a complete lack of manners or respect? How do you decide which discrimination is loathsome and which discrimination …
I Hate Monday
Two things about blinkers I hate: Number One: Let’s say you’re approaching a red light and there are eight cars already waiting there, seven of them in the right lane and just one in the left lane.

The show I happened to drop in on was about the gang scene in Memphis, Tennessee. Three things I noticed about every gang member interviewed: 1. …
Church of the Infinite Chasm
A few sermonettes back, we posed a question: it was not, “Why does God do terrible things”? Some people, as we discussed, think everything is part of God’s master plan. If you inhale a gnat, you were meant to do just that by some great cosmic hand. “Everything happens for a reason,” is heard all the time. But no, the …
Cats! Dogs!
