in Manvotional #5: “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley on Art of Manliness
I love Invictus, it's a great poem to shout out loud whilst biking up a steep mountain road... but it truly misses the point. No one 'stands alone', not even me (although I have been living on my own since the age of 13, and now in my 60s... and most of my life I've lived alone, without 'benefit' of mate or pet. But not lonely. Still.... no one stands alone. God is always there, granting us Grace and laughing at His children's hubris to think they are 'masters of their fates' and 'captains of their souls'.

We are all going to be what we truly are now... dust in the wind, and masters of nothing.

in A Proposal to Filter Christian Churches on duncanriley.com
So in Australia, are you GUILTY until proven INNOCENT? You said that "4% of clerics were ACCUSED..." not "FOUND GUILTY".

Mister Prime Minister, think of the INNOCENT.
Sheesh! Thank gawd I live in the great USA and not in some country that forces me to prove my innocence. (No, I don't molest children... hmmm, well, I DO like to molest MEN, who are mostly childish... or there I go! guiltifying men without a trial.

Duncan Riley Violet, I totally agree, which is why the same rules the Australian Government proposed to the internet should be applied to churches. Indeed, statically, churches are a bigger risk. Won't someone think of the children!
Jon Seymour Violet, just in case this is not clear, Duncan's proposal is a parody which exploits the logic of the Australian Government's case for censoring the Internet to suggest that churches should themselves be "filtered" in order to prevent child abuse.

You are right to make the point about GUILTY until proven INNOCENT. Under the Government's proposal, all adults are considered to be potential child sex offenders who cannot be trusted to use the Internet responsibly.

in Socialist Party Interviews Cindy Sheehan on unshackled
Cindy Sheehan benefits from the Americans who serve our country in the military. Furthermore, she disrespects her son who gave his life to help keep this country strong.
She is a stupid evil woman and I have absolutely NO respect for her bla bla blahs.
