Joe, Kmart, D, and Zenchick- Sorry I missed your IM/Talk/Messenger. I was playing Civilization II, and didn’t see the messages until I closed the game. My bad.
Also, L’Shana Tova, and a happy 5766 to those who know what I’m talking about.

A confession:
I’m a very strong advocate for freedom of speech and expression. I believe that you should be able to say whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as it doesn’t cause a situation to become harmful (like yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater). I think it’s ridiculous that criticism of the current administration has become synonymous with treason, and find it absolutely befuddling how many extreme-right to right-leaning organizations want to abolish the ACLU. The ACLU has defended atheists and Christians, communists and Klansmen, and even came to the defense of Sean Hannity. The ACLU is here to protect our first amendment rights. I love the ACLU.
But, every time I see a blog that is religiously, or politically different in their opinions than I am in my own, I have a strong desire to click the “FLAG” button.
I never do, but I really, really, REALLY want to. I guess that makes me a hypocrite.
*an expression meaning- “I recognize my foibles and have forgiven myself for them”
