Every email has a header. Seriously, send it to your webmaster and he can decode it for you. I hope I am misreading your implications. What I understood was not cool. I have never been dishonest with you. As I said I have consistently been upfront to the point where I knew you and others would be offended, but I have to be true to who and what I am and let the chips fall where they may. But I think you know this by now and I don't mean to make this into an issue.

What do you believe is worth dying for? Or more to the point, sending your children to die for? Forgive me but I sat through one to many "we put you on the altar" speeches from my parents. They sure were willing to send me to die for something. Jepthah's Daughter Syndrome I guess.

I listened all my life as well about how I should be willing to be gang raped by soldiers and then thrown to the lions like Heaven's Girl and should be willing to burned at the stake like Joan of Arc. I watched the adult men and women molest the children around me and tried not to be there in my head when they did it to me as well. And we had to submit because Jesus wanted us to do it. If we said no, we were in rebellion which was as the sin of witchcraft. We as children had to give our bodies, minds and souls to a cause worth dying for. A cause that the Boomer generation dreamed up and one that would change the world and bring life and freedom to all and yet seemed to only profit them. That profoundly affected me as well.

Regarding what you called me when, I think that's probably best left off this web site and you can email me privately if you really have forgotten. Although it was a bit hurtful at the time, I know you probably didn't mean it and were just upset yourself. There are no hard feelings, but I just thought that to say you are glad you are not Canadian right above my comment, after your previous interactions with me, seemed a little strange.
