An Open Letter to One Million Moms: Bullies by Another Name
Think about it. Are you teaching your children to embrace love, embrace acceptance and embrace each other? Or to fear change, fear diversity, fear difference, maybe even fear you? Will they join the bully in the schoolyard? Will they be the bully in the schoolyard?

The Scarlet Letters of the GMC
When asked how long the GMC has held a tenuous relationship with the larger Mennonite conference and ruling bodies, Pastor Amy laughed, “For over 325 years!” The GMC was removed as a conference member in 1997 and again in 2002 for full inclusion of sexual minorities, once for baptizing a gay man and then for ordaining a gay man.

The Lamest Duck
Since our government has no fixed term of office (unlike most civilised nations), Cameron can push back his termination of office to 2015, but how he could ever rescue the possibility of re-election seems non-existent. (I say 're-election' for sake of argument; the reality is no one voted for this Frankenstein's monster of a government.)

SEXUAL COUGARS
There is really nothing that special about me, and I don’t view myself as strikingly attractive but men of all ages and marital status seem to be drawn to me. I am quite the tom-boy and lucky enough to have a body to match, even thought I am well into my mid-fifties.

Slow Food Movement
No, a fast food society will inevitably fail. It’s an absolute certainty that any society that bases its nutritional and food security on a dancing clown with red hair to match his shoes, accompanied by an assortment of other indoctrinal characters based on a 1960s bad acid trip, will destroy itself on the sheer weight—becoming too big to succeed.

Time Traveling
I was presented recently with a very interesting question: "If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?" Damn. That's deep. So, I've spent the better part of several days pondering this question. Here's what I came up with. Bear with me, here.…
