That way I can astro-project my soul to work

And my lazy ass can stay home in bed watching TV


LOL!!!! You just gave me my laugh of the day, Thank you!!!! I work tomorrow and all of the 4th of July weekend (I develop photos in a drugstore while looking for something better), maybe if I just do that, I can be there without being there. Hey, boss, I WAS here, well, in spirit, didn't you see my etheral body floating in the photolab? I'll leave the car at home and just "take a walk on the Astral Plane" to work. Look at it this way, look at how the Ay-Rabs are jacking up the price of oil to $60+ a barrel, well, it will save me money gassing up the Explorer.

I've heard of "tele-computing to work, but this is a lot better. I'd better download 1975's "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright before the SCOTUS rules take effect and play it to get me to the astral plane. B-)

The ideal workplace would celebrate dedicated employees who work really hard and increase value to shareholders. Those employees would be given promotions to greater responsibility and greater financial reward. Wow, I'm such a rebel!

"You can bring your whole self to work rather than seeming isolated and distant because you can't talk about what you do outside work," said the 25-year-old assistant marketing manager.

Talking about what you do outside of work in other than "G" rated terms is not allowed by most company sexual harassment policies, anyway. You can have a discussion about how you and Bill played 18 holes of golf on Sunday that doesn't involve your sexual orientation in any way.

Sounds like this guy is listening to all of his peers bragging (inappropriately) about their weekend heterosexual conquests and he wants to join in.

In SF this weekend - we had the Fag Parade downtown and the NASCAR event a few miles North in Sonoma.

Talk about a clear split of allegiances.

At least no one had to sit around wondering which event they were going to attend.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Bring your "whole self" to work? I don't think so.

This is the result of the tactics outlined in "After the Ball". I'll try to locate the summary originally posted on FR. The book, written in the late 80's by two homosexual activists, outlines the plan to "overhaul straight America" - their words, not mine.

One of the tactics was to get hired at various large companies, get into the HR department, and hire as many fellow homosexuals as possible, start diversity (so-called) programs and plans, and so on. Get visible, get loud. It's working quite well. You'd think, from their visibility, parades, outcries and so on, that their are millions and millions of them. At no more (and maybe less) than 2% of the population, their influence is larger than numbers.

Why is another story.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

But I thought homosexuals were just like everyone else. Yet they always want special treatment.
