Good morning. It's a shame that so many are staying away from FR - temporarily or permanently - to avoid the current atmosphere of hysteria, while the Guild remains an island of good taste and calm in a sea of nitwittery.
Nitwitery for sure.
What totally astounds me is the hatred spewed from both sides.
We all have beliefs and opinions. Too bad we can't discuss it without getting mean. I'm staying off those mean threads, too.
The little girl, Jetseta Gage, who was abducted in Cedar Rapids on Thursday night was found about 20 miles from here. So very, very sad.
Iowans missed the chance at reinstating the Death Penalty 10 years ago when they elected Moderate Republicans instead of the Hellfire and Damnation types. Pubbies had control the the Legislative and Executive branches then.
Now, the Democrat Governor Vilsack would never sign such a bill.
I went to one of those threads one day...made the mistake of saying something sensible. Ouch!

An Easter story (have I told this before?):
Many years ago when Stewart and his sister were little (he was probably 4) I called them on the day before Easter. Stewart answered the phone.
I told him who it was and asked what he was doing.
Stewart's little voice:
"Killin' eggs."
Me: "What did you say?!"
Stewart: "Killin eggs."
Then I heard his Mom in the background, saying:
"Dying! We're DYING eggs!".
LOL!
