Hee Hee gotta have at least one Douglas Adams reference somewhere. 

YAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Happy Solstice

Whoo hoo, no kidding the us vs. them plus them doing the work for us! If that isn't the golden goose for humanity I don't know what is.

When I went through my "black period" or crisis of faith or whatever name suites (though really it is just justifying my place in life, the universe, and everything) I realized that everyone is right. If only to themselves. I do think you are right though about it being more of a social thing. People, generally want to belong though too. I feel they want to be right and they want to be told they are right. Every group has fluffy bunnies though, not just Christian's or Muslims but any group you can name will have a few loud obnoxious creeps who ruins it for the lot. Age is a common affliction and you are right that not all who age become wise, however you do not need to be very old to be very wise. I have met young people, not yet corrupted by society, who have a greater under tanding of people and life then those who profess the ability to lead multitudes to divinity. Wisdom is a tricky thing to gain, I only hope one day to be able to acquire it.

*snickers* Okay will do that. 

Best wishes for her.

Personally I found myself agreeing with much of what was in the article. However, I feel that our species will leave too much of this planet deprived of the life sustaining materials, aka air, clean water, space to grow food, way before we are ever capable of lifting ourselves out of our nest. We are also too enamored of the idea of self importance as of yet to even begin to work as a cohesive whole. We too often have the us versus them mentality that leads to wars. We are also filling this world too fast, usuing too many materials too fast. Our beautiful world is a wonder and works hard but there is a limit to how fast we can push her. And I think that is as it should be. We have reached the bounds already for the amout of humans this world can hold, we are building on farm land, cutting down trees to build houses without replacing them, simply put we are abusing what we were givin acting as though it is our right. We do not own the earth, nor do we own the creatures on it. This is just my humble opinion, but I think we will kill ourselves off. Not with a big explosion, but quietly overpopulating our world becoming sick in mind and body then fading away.

My avatar is a pic of my hubby and I on top of Mt. Si, not the hardest mountain here but gorgeous at the top. I am looking into learning a language or two for programming. I admire your patience wow. Hee Hee, evil shampoo bad shampoo *dons paladin armour to fight the monstrous Shampoo and his sidekick The "slightly less evil" Conditioner*.

  We also make nice smelling Shampoo and Conditioner for anyone, we just focus more on the pagan side, more fun making up names and scents for.

Clearly this will bring the apocalypse.  It must be stopped. 

*Giggles* apparently it is one of the greatest evil known to man. Must be stopped indeed, eradicated even.

What confuses me most is that religion, faith, spirituality. In my humble opinions these should be private and individual things. Anyone can look at any religious text and interpret it different then someone else. That is actually part of what drove me from being a catholic (which I once was) or a christian (which I looked at amungst other faiths). I want to decide what I beleive based on my mind not someone promiseing rewards or suffering when I am dead. The earth is my church, I am my own preistess, and I commune with divinity with long hikes up mountains and clear nights with stars. However that is of course me, and I lead only myself. And I beleive that no matter what you believe you are right, if only to yourself. So I am confused at how some members of other faiths can fight and bicker like children. The problem is that they are not children and the damage they do is not small. To be honest it frightens me, the power they have.

Sorry to hear about your job opportunity going wrong.  Most Christians think Pagans are Devil worshipers or something don't they?  

Thank you, though I am much happier with what I do now. I work as a tech support for MSN Games.

BTW - how do bath products for pagans differ from other bath products?  

Basically we take bulk unsceanted handmade shampoos, conditioners, and body wash, and use natural oils to make them smell pretty. They corrispond with herbs sacred to the different goddesses, gods, chakras, and spells.

And they smell gooooooooood.

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
