X- how ironic you speak of Edwarda when the man we are celebrating today was an adulterer too: ref: "Pillar of Fire : America in the King Years, 1963-65" Taylor Branch "Parting the Waters" "And the Walls Came Tumbling Down," by Ralph Abernathy (N.Y.: Harper and Row, 1989 Clayborne Carson from Stanford University - Kings papers Michael Eric Dyson’s new book, "I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr. " and BTW I enjoy Micheal(his real first name) Luther King's quote from his- "Strength to Love" I realized that liberalism has been all too sentimental concerning human nature and that it leaned toward a false idealism. . . . Liberalism failed to show that reason by itself is little more than an instrument to justify man's defensive ways of thinking. Reason, devoid of the purifying power of faith, can never free itself from distortions and rationalizations. shame from a fool, former-adulterer and low-life eddy

I laughed out loud at how predictable your appreciation of the billboard conceit was, and yet how completely I failed to predict it. You know, we were on opposite sides of the Princess DI and John Kennedy issues, I think. No, not opposite, but I did feel very bad about both those deaths, and explained as best I could why I thought so many people did. << I would never show up at a 3d funeral and trash the deceased, no matter how much fun that would be. But this internet stuff is apparently much more "real" to some people than others. Which is weird. >> That struck me. It was real to Edwarda. In fact, she made it realer by meeting a number of her SI friends in 3D, including me, and phoning. I wonder whether the awareness of how "real" this world was to Edwarda has something to do with my reaction to the discussion. At another time in her life, SI might have played a different role. And you have a husband and three children. She went home to an empty apartment most nights. Her ability to "people" that world, and make it fun, was remarkable. Thank you for being SO nice to me! I have read some of GZ's sanctimonious posts. I think he is ashamed of that vicious one. He could apologize, but prefers, evidently, to pretend it was other than it was. This place has been Projection City, hasn't it? Interesting! Someone has just arrived, got to go....
