You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. - Ray Bradbury
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

It's called hate, no matter how many times they claim it's "principle".
And for you Spinal Tap fans it would be "ass-eleven".
That is a disgusting story. Hate runs deep.
*sarcasm* Why shouldn't people be afraid of gay people? After all, it could be a contagious disease, like ignorance... *end sarcasm*
This is a disgusting story. Not only is it a slap in the face of the deceased, it's a sign of the deepest disrespect and hatred for those he left behind. They're already suffering so much, as anyone does with the loss of a loved one. The last thing anyone in that situation needs is to have people add to that pain. This isn't on the same scale as Fred Phelps, but it's the same message.
So much for all that love and forgiveness that the Bible talks about.
