What's the worry?

If whites end up becoming a minority race in the next generation they can be confident that they will be treated as fairly as they have treated others so relax. As Jesus said "As you sow, so shall you reap."

One solution is to dedicate the merit of these acts to all sentient beings.

Sounds like a good investment sure to increase in value. Dunno about the Che button though. Perhaps Poop will let me have a couple of Obama photos from her litter box.

Sometimes you tip your hand a little and I can see all the way into the depth of your character. Your thoughts always evoke a kind of wonder in me.

No, really, they do.

When you speak German, or type it, I think it makes you look so brilliant. Don't even get me started on the Latin.

How do you say "That dadgummed Obama is so clean and has been such a good administrator of the American government for more than three years now that we have to grasp at straws and make all kinds of ludicrous stuff up to attack him" in Latin?

Biff Pocoroba (former catcher for the Braves unless there's more than one biff Pocoroba, which I doubt) makes DePalma's sausage.Try it on a slice with the lunch special.

Try the eastside. The others may be as good or better, but we always enjoy our experience at the eastside location.

@Joel Kight:

My wife and I used to go on Tuesdays occasionally to get that deal and the 1/2 price bottle of wine, usually to reward ourselves for working through the weekend on something or if friends or relatives were visiting. They moved the wine special back to the evenings but we still go. Now, though, we usually get the lasagna di giorno. It's served on a tomato coulis that tastes like they ran out back and picked a few fresh tomatoes. I don't know how they do that.

I really think DePalma's has improved a lot over the years.

Back in the day it was DaVinci's. Anybody remember the cheese and sausage deep dish? Cool building, too, inside and out.

Guys, guys, guys.

Y'all need to lay off the sweets.

Nevermind.

I just revisited that post and you were there with your wet blanket.

Trungpa was a Moses to about three hundred Tibetans who were escaping the Chinese crackdown. Many people perished, they were all surviving on soup made by boiling saddle leather at the end as they reached the Indian border. He was in his early teens at the time.

(Insert laugh track)

@ Davidxto

Chogyam Trungpa's book deals with the problems inherent in letting the ego lead the spiritual journey. Very much the same territory that Krishnamurti covered.

I put up the topic of the Three Lords of Materialism a couple of months ago hoping it might spark an interfaith conversation. It is basically the first few pages of Cutting Through...

I don't know what I was thinking.

@davidxto:

Ever read "Cutting Through Spiritual Materiality?"

This. Plus if you brag about it on the message board it doesn't count.

If I give you a nice big straw will you go suck the fun out of someone else's day?

I can't remember where I heard that one.

Like Ross said the other day, this wealth envy has to stop.

Whether we give him/her credit or not, those acts stand on their own. Good causes bring good results, bad causes bring bad results.

Doesn't matter how WE see it, energy moves in this universe in certain ways, according to certain laws. Sow good causes, get good results. Sow bad causes, get bad results. This is the nature of the garden of Eden in which we all live. When we start seeing things in terms of good and bad, when we start judging things as good and evil and when and how we should sow good causes and rate the motivation of the good acts of others, we bite into the fruit of the serpent.

Just sow good deeds and get good results.

Sounds simple.

Jeez. I just realized something. This will keep a certain young chicken hawk up all night looking for rebuttals from his reliable sites.

If the University isn't looking quite up to its usual polish tomorrow, try to understand.

There's a lot more. Let me know if you want to see it.

I was seriously thinking about voting for Romney based on his solid vision for leadership of America as he has expressed it repeatedly and consistently over all these years.

Then Obama heard America and brought the gasoline prices down. I don't really care what his racial makeup is anymore.

@2dollar:

You have been raised well.

Generosity is one of the perfect human qualities and you have realized the richness, across a meeting of two or more minds, that comes from it. You still dwell in the Garden of Eden.

I'm glad you're one of my neighbors. People like you make a community better.

I just want to see the long-form birth certificates of all involved. No fakes, okay?

I always enjoy reading Pitts' columns then watching the intelligent level of discussion that follows.

What we are witnessing here is the generational flow of a certain bias and the transference and projection of that bias.

Probably the best thing about having to serve in Vietnam was being around people who had grown up outside of the South. It really exposed for me the southern bias and gave me the opportunity to expand beyond the restraints of that bias..

I have not watched a network news program for quite a few years now. Georgia used to be the Metropolis of the South but under the new all Republican leadership we are deadlocked with North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee for a race backwards to the 1950's.

It's that generational flow.

Like In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Hotlanta, Whippin' Post, Statesboro Blues? Is there no longer any interest in that kind of improvisational music?

Remember Duane Allman. His phrasing is the best I ever heard. There never has been, nor will there ever be a better slide guitar player. I would love to get involved in a band that covered that performance.
