Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen Thelma and Louise to goon on pilgrimages

Some phobias just don't let go...
Thelma and Louise weren't lesbians...but the *were* armed, and blew a rapist away.

Tsk, tsk, tsk....

I don't think the word phobia means what you think it means.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-29-2006, 01:29 PM

phobia;
1- A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

2- A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.

I think she does.

Statistically we are far safer now than ever before.
It is just reported more.
School violence is way down, school murder is WAY down over the last twenty years. But if you watch the news you would think there is an epidemic of kids killing other kids since Columbine... fear turns the set on.... fact. That is all.

I worked near Crater Lake, OR in the 70s and 80s, and I used to hitch up to Portland on long weekends to see my GF. And I hitched to school (about 13 miles) and back every day for a whole semester (Corvallis OR to Albany). I think once I didn't get a ride and had to miss class. One trucker who picked me up made a point of showing me his machete, and once a couple put me in the back of their pickup with a large canine, but I never really had a problem. Wow. I haven't thought about that in years.

Gave a ride to a guy last week. I guess he wasn't hitchin, but just walking down the shoulder of the freeway. I had passed his disabled vehicle a half a mile earlier. I've accepted rides from strangers too.

Missionary. Candy's more conventional than you might think.

I don't watch TV. At all. There is no signal going into my TV except the S-video cable from my 5-disc DVD changer (okay I have a VCR too). I keep some Family Guy or Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Simpsons or Seinfeld in there and maybe a movie or two I'm in the middle of, maybe some porno, I have plenty of things to entertain me. No need whatsoever to let the squawking propoganda freaks into my living room. Banish TV from your life - not just a little bit but completely - cut the cord! You will feel a million times better within a short span of time.
