Holy shit Xythe! I was restrained in response to whips comments but wow! Just let me say this, there is a lot more to the story. And I prefer to live in a judgement free zone.

perhaps something good will come of this. I went home lst night to see the kids and my wife and I did not speak about the incident. We shared a silent moment that implied much regret. It's haard not to look up when you have reached rock bottom, right?
the next political race will hopefully be won by the following criteria; loony left or crazy conservative alike. "Are you a full of shit poser and liar or do you stand for something despite the popularity of your views" "He who stands for nothing should sit the @#$%& down" whosyurdaddy, 2006
Hey MM, I assume your moniker is a touch of sarcasm? You're not very moderate! But i love it. Uncle Sam wants to be liked by everyone. I'd rather be respected and feared. Everyone hates us until the financial check is due.
I'm sure it will become at least civil soon.
Little whip, there is a lot you don't know. Trust me there is more to it. While I am certainly not a saint, future posts may illustrate to you the details that led to the situation I am in. But I can assure you that i am not concerned about my stuff nearly as much as I am for the welfare of my kids. The only thing I am good at in life is being a father. And I am not looking for sympathy. I am just writing. Sometimes I mistake blogging for writing. I
Me too. In particular I love long-haired brunettes. It all started with Brooke Shields in the kiddie porn classic Blue Lagoon and I was a drooling addict.
One day later and I have not returned home yet. I had a terrible nights sleep and I got up at 5 to go to work. Fortunateley I had a very busy day and I haven't had much time to think about the events of last night. I have suspected all day that when I finally have a minute I will be overcome by a retroactive wave of guilt, pain and desire to patch things up. Well, I
Greetings! I am a sporadic blogger but a big believer in the medium. SPeak your mind and enjoy some of the great writers on this site.
as a parent of 4 I have no problem with someone politely reminding my children to abide by basic courtesies. I will not tolerate, however, unsolicited advice or disapproving looks. I have been through both scenarios and I can say that you were probably in line if you were thinking of their (and others) safety.
Very good. Did you hear the one about the man from Nantucket?
It started as a routine argument, one of the many we have had lately. I was on edge and very angry at her because of the way she talked to me earlier and her general intolerance of our children. I zipped my lip as we put the kids in bed. I ignored a few barely concealed digs at me and managed to not say anything. But it was pending. I could feel it. I managed to avoid
I actually caught the pilot today for the first time. I had never seen it. It's when they interview the virgin...i mean Daphne.Wrong show dammit!
At the sight of his grave, Scrooge said to the inexorable Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come “ Before I draw nearer to that stone at which you point, answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that will be or are they the shadows of the things that may be, only ?” If there was ever a man who reacted in a proactive way to his own mortality,
great tribute Gid. A hell of a lot better han mine and shorter too.
never underestimate the power of conviction. You did the right thing and sometimes things work out for the good people in the world too. If you haven't reported it how would you feel about yourself? Good luck, be strong.
thanks for the good words guys, it needed to be said.
Geezer, you're back. I've missed you man!
I live in Mass, try listening to that fat stupid liberal drunk year round.
The other day my five year old rushed up to me as I walked in the door and said "Hey Dad, Rosa Parks died. Did you know that?" While I did know this I was certainly impressed that he did. I asked him if he knew what she did to make her famous he replied "she wouldn't get up on the bus". Smart kid. His next sentence contained three words I never thought I would hear f
there are some very smart people out here. I'm very impressed and I look forward to reading all of you. As for this article, I should have known going in that I was tackling a big subject under the guise of a comparative musing. And what surprises me most is that what got everyone going was my involving religion in the discussion. While I am not a religious man at all I was really discussing attitudes and my personal recollections of the era.<
hey SPC : great Monty Python reference. "every sperm is sacred"
I'm glad I could stimulate some thoughts out there. Remember guys, I painted broad strokes from the perspective of my personal recollections of the situation from the 80's until today. I painted broad strokes, left a lot of stuff out and made some blanket statements. Great feedback!
we waste too many "nows" worrying about "whens". My thoughts are with you
MM I am not a Christian and i do not believe in God but I totally agree with you. Screw the ACLU and activist judges. It doesn't bother me that my money says God on it. What do I care. Rock on brother. MAC
