You ever get tired of reassessing your values?
I'm bone tired. I've come all the way from fundamentalist to atheist, from rabid right-winger to fairly liberal Dem and I'm tired. I want to stop thinking for awhile.

Someone in a meeting tonight dissed video games and movies I happen to like. One of the reasons I got rid of fundamentalism is that I could watch and do what I wanted to do as long as it didn't hurt anyone else. Do my movie likes and video game likes hurt someone else?

I don't think so.

God, my head hurts. Think I'll play some Team Fortress or something.

2. how about these?
don't tug on Superman's cape
don't spit into the wind
don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger
and don't mess around with Slim.

Actually, I do not mind discussing values as long as people do not get all strident about it. I enjoy the mental exercise, the analysis and the give and take of a good dialectic.

4. Don't sweat it..
There are people on all sides of the spectrum that are hyper-judgemental; that knows no political or religious boundries. Don't let them get to you; just go your own way and be happy..
