79. I think what people objected to most

Mon Jan 16, 2012, 09:45 AM

Jan 2012

Was that the action seemed very high handed and authoritarian. Most of us don't like to be herded around. That's one reason that the image of Jesus as our shepherd and the rest of us as sheep just never sat well with me.

Of course, I am a Scorpio.

I wonder what Skinner's sign is.

I'm staying here for now................Again, I have a feeling that they are making preparations to try to sell the site to some sort of mainstream organization. Just a hunch, though.
