My parents did it. Sometimes you gotta work with the situation as it is, not as you want it to be.

re: Oh, really? And are we to understand that those who can barely get by paycheck to paycheck every month can have YOU pay for their child(ren) to attend the private school of their choice, religious or otherwise?)))

The irony here--do you think these evos capable of reproducing at all?

The faithless shepherd has a whole lot to answer for, in due course.

Indeed. Thank you so much for your agreement!

[ If I may speak according to the "old metaphors," I feel pretty sure that a very special place in Hell is reserved for such as you describe here. People who abuse legitimate authority, who abuse the trust of the faithful whom they claim to serve, are scandal in the sight of God. And likewise ought to be so considered, in the sight of man. [Or so it seems to me.].. ]

On the other hand.. maybe the "shepards" are not faithless but have faith in the wrong "thing(s)".. and ARE honest agents in there own qualia..

According to the metaphor the "shepard" leads(or follows) the sheep to where they can feed themselves.. but consuming teachings, scripture, and dogma, pre-digesting it and comeing to vomit it up for the "sheep" is what birds do.. not "shepards".. ( a perverse metphor)

Whether "the Bird" is a "filty" bird ot a "clean" bird misses the mark of the metaphor.. and bypasses the reason for the metaphor completely.. And exposes the reality of the current situation.. I may be saying the "the Bird" ugh! "shepard" ugh.. "KING" has no clothes.. but the fact is obvious.. Whatever "he" is, that shepard, if hes vomitting, hes NAKED.. and the metaphor is raped and abused..

Thank you for your metaphorical insights, hosepipe!

I might have used another creature for a metaphor (but I cannot recall its name) - the ones that go charging over the cliff, others of their kind following mindlessly and killing the whole group of them.

...the ones that go charging over the cliff, others of their kind following mindlessly and killing the whole group of them.

Lemmings. Not terribly bright little beasties!

[Alamo-Girl]

Lemmings.. Hmmm.. What to do with lemmings.?.
Humans as metaphorical lemmings... Hmmm..

Club groupies thats for sure.. human lemmings are..
Just want be part of "the" group.. will defend dogma even if it leads over a cliff, following the trail and scent of the those that came before them.. instead of contacting Jesus directly for themselves, as he commands.. Hmmmm...

I'm at a loss here.. must think on this.., there must be some.. Lemmings,,, Hmmm..

[Alamo-Girl]

LOLOL! I know you'll like the lemmings metaphor - you might have met a few somewhere along the way.
