The Moon was red, making Rai ask Moebius, "Is this a bad sign?"

 ctn> Hiya Goodlooking

You again? :)

 Rai>>> ...  we've been over swamped since. 
 Rai>>> On top of this the cat got pregnant before we could get it
 Rai>>> desexed. I'm considering it a gift form the Goddess to
 Rai>>> bring a little rebirth into the house after all the heartbreak.

 M>> Every now and then I find I have to be reminded that there are others
 M>> worse off than I; that my problems are nothing.

 ctn> Oh yeah. I can't understand how bigots like that can function in the
 ctn> 'real' world. At some point they've just gotta believe that they are a
 ctn> minority on a global level...  I can understand why Social
 ctn> scientists talk about "conflict theory" as being a
mechanism of change,
 ctn> but some where - some how these bigots gotta .....  Guess the
 ctn> phrase is AAAGGGHHH

Bigots always believe they represent all "right-thinking" people.  They
never explain what they mean, which automatically makes them suspect.

 M>> I hope this is the year it all turns around for you, Ray. I'd say
 M>> you're /long/ over-due.

 ctn> Thanks Chickybabe. Years ago I gave up saying I have my 7 years bad
 ctn> luck & am looking for my 7 years good luck...

Q-landers can't /all/ be that bad off.

 M>> Remember, you still have those of us remaining upon whoo you may cry,
 M>> and to whom you may rant.

 ctn> Unfortunately ranting gets us no where.

Perhaps, but it bleeds off stress.

 ctn> A friend FWed his reply from the Toowoomba's Mayor's response to his
 ctn> e-mail. She was NOT impressed with her bigoted little Alderman.

I should hope so.  Some people forget they have people they answer to,
besides the voting serfs.

 ctn> Sounds like he was trying to increase his political profile - hope
 ctn> he likes the taste of shoe leather...

The problem with increasing your profile in any way:  You're that much
bigger a target, an all senses of the word.  Hope he's learned to dodge ...
but not very well.

Moebius, who keeps a low profile for a very good reason.

... Call it a program. They'll never realize that it's a magic spell.
