    Ironic. You suggesting some one or some organization shouldn't be taken seriously. Excellent.

    Next you will condemn the church for willfully trolling.

      Yes, we've since learned it's OK to lie, steal, kill, and philander.

              We're like gambling addicts. We've spent so much time pumping money and effort into this slot machine that it just must pay off!

                    Morality is about reference to norms adopted by society through a gradual process. However, in segments of society which rely upon old references, change only occurs by referring to the old methods of change. It is quite to be expected. As a lawyer you should expect nothing less.

                    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                              MRD's post shows who sent it and provides a link if you want to take it. Don't worry, but your perspective would probably be appreciated.
