• Original Sin & the Environment

  
  World-Wide-Matel — Authority: 124
  I was devastated when I first learned about original sin. No matter how good you are or what you do, you can’t overcome the sin carried by all humans. Fortunately, there is a way to redemption. Many in today’s world have rejected this religious concept and some have rejected religion altogether. At least they ...

• Pedestrians = Rodney Dangerfield

  
  World-Wide-Matel — Authority: 124
  Pedestrians are like Rodney Dangerfield. We get no respect. They did a good job plowing the streets for the cars, which means they piled the snow up on the corners, where anybody on foot has to climb a small mountain to get to the road. The problem is often not climbing the snowy mountain, but sliding down the ...

• The Rusting of Players

  
  heaven is...a beer volcano and a stripper factory — Authority: 140
  I dont agree with the concept that teams should rest players at the end of the season. If you are a well oiled machine on the field, the worst thing you can do is pull your best components and mess up the flow and rhythm of your team. Happens time and time again. If the Indianapolis Colts rest players for a ...

• Sick, Tired, Sick & Tired or Just Plain Lazy

  
  World-Wide-Matel — Authority: 124
  Yesterday I did something I have never done before:   I left work early because I felt sick.    In retrospect and with the benefit of knowing how I feel today, I know it was nothing much.   I was just really tired and my body ached all over.   I now believe I just didn’t get enough sleep and a pulled muscle ...

  Dont sit on me!! ! The Cactus Couch is just silly. The Doll Couch makes me wonder if youd sit down and be transformed into a doll and absorbed into the lining of the creepy piece of furniture. CD chair looks like it would be hard to fall asleep on. And it would leave odd vertical stripes on your body. :/ Might be ...

• We Are All Sinners

  
  World-Wide-Matel — Authority: 124
  The media is wallowing in the Tiger Woods affair.   The idea seems to be that he deserves special opprobrium because he seemed so good before.   Schadenfreuden always take pleasure in anybody’s trouble, but it goes deeper than that.   Many people seem almost to resent goodness as an affront to their own ...

• Everything Has a Price

  
  World-Wide-Matel — Authority: 124
  People say that like it is a bad thing.    In fact, the ability to put a price on most things is the basis of most of our prosperity.    It also reduces or even eliminates many conflicts and just makes everything work smoother. A lot of blood has been shed over “priceless” things, but any problem you can buy ...

  Revelations From An Unwashed Brain — Authority: 561
  I’m not much into social networking. I don’t appear on Facebook or MySpace , and I Twitter ( see, as I re-read this, I realize that I should have said tweet, but that shows my inexperience with it ) very infrequently. It’s not that I am a recluse, or curmudgeon, but I simply don’t wish to have many ...

  Ruth Mowry, who runs the best damned blog on Planet Earth , keeps insisting she wants to know how people name their blogs. At one point, she was promising bags of Skittles or some such reward, but fell victim to the "all shall have prizes" syndrome. So whats my motivation? Being acknowledged by the Zen goddess ...
