bigotry in a respectful language, on nice paper, in a nice envelope, I guess, ignoring the man's divine right.

Perhaps it was a moral compass. A sense of the Beatitudes? A fear of the Talibanic mind.
Perhaps it was a sense of Liberte, Γ‰galitΓ©, FraternitΓ©?
Could be wrong though, of course.

For me, the scariest thing about halloween is the endless plastic - for landfill and burning tomorrow.

According to New York Times' John Mc Whorter, (difficult to pronounce?) phonetics - or to some - 'difficult' phonetics, is an indicator of an inability to govern or a barrier to taking one seriously.
Hard to take a man seriously with a name that resonates 'whore'; 'whore' times in the U.S of A.

Letter: King's meeting with pope sends a troubling message A letter from Steve Owens:

What a stupidy, stupid, faithless headline. Obviously the joint prayer message went directly to God, who I don't believe is necssarily partial to interference from anxierty-ridden, ritualised religious bigitory.

Again, Jesus wept.
Has to weep.

By way of a medium I asked Lizzy Windsor how she thought England was doing at the moment.

King Charles should abdicate if he prays with the Pope, says Kyle Paisley The son of Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) founder Ian Paisley says the King would not be "true to his oath" if he joined the Pope in prayer.

What a load of shite. Between this and the Trumpcult mega-church insanity. Someone, somewhere save us from such f*c*ing divisive, smug Talabanic bible-anity stuff.

What are the dates? Is this the same as colonial appropriation of sacred pieces recyled as curiousity art work of the exotic?
