  1. St MArk's on the Mesa -- an Episcopal church leaning toward the Anglican ...

    Ours has a great children and teens program...not true of all of them in our diocease.

    yes it does the 2 doctrinal things you might find difficult, but it has been wonderful in so many other ways and I don't get as caught up in JCNG or DAN stuff anymore

  2. One strange case of an autistic child studied (in the link to vaccines) was complicated by the fact the identical twin that received the same shots as the autistic child did, did not show evidence of one single autistic trait.

    I personally think it has more to do with general additives that probably alter our genes in a more global general kind of way....because autism is not the only thing on the rise.

    And then the time we live in begs the question, how much of it is just known now because people don't hide their children away like the used to?

  3. WG - I remember when P*t Y*c*nis and I came to a "high School Minuteman" thingy and we stayed at his brother's fellow laberor's townhouse....(we took a bus from Pittsburgh) I remember being surprised at all the people who ran...I ran track in high school because I wanted too, but to just be told to run when one didn't really like it, was so foreign to me---and you guys actually did it.

    I think it was in fall of 75

  4. Ham - my Dad was friends with Timothy Leary, He also went to school with William Buckly - diverse to be sure...he was brilliant and helped Milton Friedman write the book that won him (Freidman) the Nobel prize for economics..no he wasn't ever a touchy feely dad...and he also drank and participated in orgies in the 70's...that said...when he started smoking more (friends of his brought Hash in from the Middle East - in shoe polish cans) he became even more distant and he was not like that when I was a 4- 5 years old. As he grew stronger in his financial and notoriety status, we became less...and then he also smoke more...I can remember the night he asked me if I wanted to smoke with my little brother ( would be his first time) SHEESH - no little 13 year old girl girl shoulds be faced with that!!!!

    He was an foot --- a selfish foot -- (and my retired Naval Intelligence officer- brother thinks so too) and yes I truly believe most drugs of the recreational sort are all about self-indulgence.

    That is not to say there cannot be a place for medical usage....but I believe uncontrolled sales and use of pot would be a huge leverage against intentions beyond self gratification and it would undermine much of the important things that take work. It causes compromise to happen when under any other circumstance and individual would not compromise.

    Like Jonny said - an ambition killer.

    All that said, I have friends who do smoke. I also see them starting to run into problems now that they have tweens and teens...They are not sure about their stance, they feel guilty on one had, and yet feel the right to be self indulgent on the other hand - I think that is not a mental argument I ever want to have in my head.

  5. Well to me the true test would be -- do you want your kids to smoke it if they want to? then I would even consider the rest of the arguments..because that (my kids) are paramount to anything else to me.

    my dad also smoked and was a a waste of a father---although brilliant - he was very self serving did what ever made him feel good.....but god forid he should even be a 1/2 assed father---that we would've taken --but we didn't even get that.

  6. George -- I thought you woke up every morning with the spell-checker setting on......just kidding, I have no hopes of solving the problem other than to shed light on some of the "not so fixable" reasons for errors.

    Take the test -- I bet you come up strong Linguistically.
