@Stonekettle in regards to your FB post, refer people to the following George Carlin quote.

"But hey, reverend, there are two knobs one the radio! One of them turns the radio off and the other one changes the station! Imagine that, reverend, you can actually change the station. It's called freedom of choice, and it's one of the principles this country is founded upon. Look it up in the library, reverend, if you have any of them left when you've finished burning all the books."

@Stonekettle not to mention that you have to define the term. Are we talking value as in what they think is important or what would be found to be useful to the most people in general?

@Stonekettle answering your FB question here because of your settings there. Not complaining, just explaining. I don't think anyone is going to find any significant rules that are strictly Judeo-Christian. If you aren't fact blind, the Quran is based off the same foundation as the Bible and the Talmud. Only difference is some of the details. Beyond that, at their heart, the "rules" are just common decency ways to live your life and will therefore be common in other belief systems.

Is it just me or are movie theaters trying to be airports? Think about it. Ticket prices are going through the roof, you pass through useless security, and you now have to pick your seat before you get to the theater. What's next? My popcorn gets delivered to theater 8 when I'm in theater 3? "Do not leave your beverage unattended. Please report all suspicious Milk Duds to the concession stand."

@Stonekettle The knee jerk reaction is to want to harass the nut job or Facebook but I'm thinking that isn't the correct response. If there is something we can do to be more effective than that, can you let us know? I for one realize I think in more tactical terms and miss the strategic advantage.

Shower thought for the day... Which is the greater love, the love that allows only the perception of perfection or the love that exists with full appreciation and awareness of the flaws?

@Mainebot I still get that after 20 years of building my own systems. 😀. Congratulations!!!

@jason Cannot seem to get the hang of all the acronyms. Thanks for the welcome =)

Just someone else that followed @Stonekettle over here. I've been interested in Twitter but always felt 140 characters was never enough if you write complete words.
