Ah Askel, I don't want to believe that we are headed or are at that state now. I want to believe that people are good and kind and believe in the value of all life.

How ironic, someone was outside my door and window here in the livingroom - the police just left - who are the souless ones - the animal or the person who left before the police could get here.

Did you know, Dixie, that the Bible has nothing good to say about man?

Hey Dixie Sass! ... trust all is well.

I want to believe that people are good and kind and believe in the value of all life.

Who doesn't? That sort of belief can get you in real trouble, though.

Whenever I'm in doubt on that score, an Examination of Conscience removes any question that the human will strives perpetually to assert itself in all manner of ways when left unchecked by disciplined and humble obedience to the sorts of self-evident truths of our Declaration. =)

Sorry to hear you had a predator of some kind. That's always a terrifying experience.
