Was Bryant talking about John Rocker again? idiot A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole". He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions of opinion and taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line. A. Bierce

Gumbled = Fumbled >>Gosh I never liked Bryant before, thanks for posting that article. What a man. More people need to say WHAY A F*CKING IDIOT lots more often.>> X the Unknown: Don't stoop to the same level. Gumble's paradigm is a black hole - ie. pick your side, grab your friends, favors and tools and then start blasting away on a daily basis to take energy. And the Boy Scouts and anyone else who withdraws their trust by defining limits or lines are sitting ducks. But this fueling, dueling, judging, finger pointing implodes back on itself whenever the practitioners are caught doing the same thing that they acuse others of doing: judging, labelling, defining, etc. Gumble is not immoral anymore than the Boy Scouts are immoral anymore than the gay scout leader trying to wants to insert "his" view of scouting on the scouts. Each person in this world has a "right" to his/her opinion. But we all cross the line when we use this power, this "right" to judge in a negative way which takes energy from others by labelling, defining or restricting them in any way. Gumble verbally fumbled. Perhaps this will become a new media adjective for verbal acts which expose hidden adendas or feelings which hurt or take energy from others. The voice is THE most powerful technology on the face of the earth. The tongue is like a serpant. It can hurt and kill. CBS has a moral responsibility to explain what Bryant said and why he said it. If Bryant was referring to the Family Research Council, then CBS owes FRC an apology. Can someone please follow-up in this topic. I am curious how CBS reacts to this. How they react will reflect on the character of their leadership. What people fail to realize is that judging and pointing fingers is so destructive. It destroys trust, breeds hate and anger while dysfuncationally rewarding the people in the world who practice this crap. Until at least they "gumble." If Bryant and CBS try can simply slither this under the carpet. And Bryant can pull more of his levers of hate and anger to get back at anyone who tries to bring this up as an issue. For all black holes - no pun - feed off of light, trust and energy from others. And when a black hole "gumbles" they must spin and point fingers even faster to counteract the damage to the loss of light-sucking momentum each time their own "taking energy" hidden agenda gets exposed. The Boy Scouts are in the same boat. They are under attack. And they are being sucked into the vortex of this black hole for deciding to draw the line in judgment of gays. For the truth and ideal is that we ALL are ONE. But we won't ever "become ONE" through finger pointing and judgment of each other. Media content does not have to be negative. It's simply all a function of what's in demand. I chose to create energy and trust and I don't buy into these black holes of negativity. Peace. GO!!
