The following "sermon" was delivered on the Sunday after the 2004 Presidential election at the First Unitarian "Church" of Portland, Ore., by "Pastor" Marilyn Sewell. ********************************************************** This country has just been engaged in a huge exercise of power. Power has been used, and it has been misused. The upside to this election is that never have I seen so many people so passionately engaged in our political life.

We admit it, we're stuck on The L Word, Showtime's frothy drama about fantasy lesbians getting it on in swimming pools and showers all over Los Angeles. Granted, some of us have it worse than others. Some of us only go so far as to meet Sunday nights for viewing parties with friends. In the morning we rehash over e-mail and phone. But we leave it at that.
