Joe, you are going to buy more than you need
because of package sizes. you're gonna throw away
the excess anyway, unless you try to save it for several
years, and it is cheap enough not to worry about it.

The crystals will keep until next time I need them, and the scotch in me
doesn't like to waste stuff, so I do it my way. There's nothing wrong with
your way either. And if somebody wants to work in protective clothing, where
I apply OA while wearing just my bermuda shorts, that's okay, too. It's
really just not worth arguing about. (I haven't seen anything from the
original poster: wonder if we scared him off?)


I wouldn't blame him. He may think he started the **** that soon
showed up in what should have been a pretty mundane thread!


It must be wonderful to go through life as a mindless conservative, not
at all concerned about the world, about the damage one does, about those
who are less fortunate, and so secure in our "whiteness" that we can
make either direct or indirect disparaging remarks from time to time
about people of color.

You're a real piece of crap, Herring. And not too literate, either.

Jesus was the ultimate liberal progressive revolutionary of all history.
The conservative religious and social structure that he defied hated and
crucified him. They examined His life and did not like what they saw. He
aligned himself with the poor and the oppressed. He challenged the
religious orthodoxy of his day. He advocated pacifism and loving our
enemies. He liberated women and minorities from oppression. He healed on
the Sabbath and forgave adulterers and prostitutes. He associated with
drunks and other social outcasts. He rebuked the religious right of his
day because they embraced the letter of the law instead of the Spirit.
He loved sinners and called them to himself. Jesus was the original
Liberal. He was a progressive, and he was judged and hated for it. It
was the self-righteous religionists that he rebuked and he called them
hypocrites.

The primary issues of Christian Liberalism were birthed when Jesus spoke
the profoundly prophetic words found in Matthew 25: 31-46. These
scriptures reveal God's heart for the poor, the sick and other neglected
people through out history. Christians should read this text and judge
for themselves which of the two groups mentioned there more accurately
reflect the political parties of today. His Liberalism lives on today
and the issues have not changed much.
