I too hope that last sentence is wrong. But I fear it won’t be. And how soon? And how close by?

A LOSER!

Growing up in Catholic school, you got it from morning through lunch all the way to afternoon dismissal. Nuns and everything, and once a week Father Flanagan came over from the church across the street to conduct that day’s religion class.

Once I got to high school, also Catholic, things were a little more relaxed and we even had a class in comparative religions. A revelation! Looking back, I think that’s when I started “going independent”.

There was a point when I realized I could talk to God whenever I wanted to, and use my own words, and pull from my own thoughts, and it didn’t have to be in any formalized church setting. Truly liberating!

It’s been a journey alright.

And its presumptions annoyed me. I kept thinking “WHAAAAT?” And “who the heck do they think they are?”

Gotta say, sometimes I find the response/reaction to GOP skulduggery to be downright naive.

Drag it out as long as possible, because you might be able to outlast the powers that be, until they’re out of office and maybe replaced by a “friendly” from your side who can magically make it all go away.
