Colleen Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 ...that I miss hanging out here! I'm very, very rarely able to access the board anymore and trying to set up a new account hasn't worked, either. So. Seems like there have been a myriad of...weighty? heated?...conversations of late; can't say I'd want to get emotionally invested in those, so that's okay. Although back when you talked about the Pledge of Allegiance, I did want to say more and wasn't able to do so. I know that conversation was ages ago, in online terms, but I still wanted to share these two things: 1) I highly recommend reading To the Flag: The Unlikely History of the Pledge of Allegiance by Richard Ellis. I've mentioned it here several times before, but it's worth mentioning again. It's always mystified me that we know so little about something so integral to our nation. 2) Does anyone remember Matt Groening's cartoon strip "Life in Hell"? Binky? Anyone, anyone? "I plead alignment to the flakes of the united snakes of a merry cow. And to the republicans for which they scam, one nacho, underpants, with licorice, and jugs of wine for owls." :lol: I've had that scrap of paper for...what?...15+ years? And no, I've never recited that ~ even under my breath;) ~ during the Pledge. I stand and show respect for the act, since it's meaningful to others. But goshdarnit...every time I go to open my fridge and see Binky saying, "one nacho, underpants" I laugh, I do.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenschooler Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I hope your board issues get resolved soon (Can anyone please help? Could it be something on your computer? Connection? Admin?) I thought you'd dumped us. :D Nah, I know better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.griff Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Cool, now I just added another book to my library list. :D And I MISS you posting here. I think that mayhaps your opinions are just too much for the little old board to contain ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
