I would like to invite you to read this essay, written by a professor of philosophy (who also happens to be my husband) in responce to the passing of Jerry Falwell.

It invites some serious thought and discussion on the nature of religion, society, and culture, and as such, is just the sort of thing many of you are interested in.

The essay is here.

  • In the background you hear SVU on TV

You are most welcome. All kudos to the author! LOL I can only claim having found and caught him, not for the writing... ;)

I am just about to comment on your country music post... *giggle* That stuff is really funny. Until one realizes how popular and deeply 'amurrican' it is...

Robini pointed me toward some less offensive stuff, but man! That series of song had my hackles up *this high*! I look forward to seeing your comment.

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
