Easterners.

Didn't you know if you graduate from Harvard, live in the East, you are inherently more knowledgeable about things remote and distant from you. You also inherit a sense of fairness, and dispassion.

The serene halls of our nation's capitol make one more spiritual and enlightened.

Wrong. It's the clean air, the natural beauty, the sense of balance and order, the restoration of all things, the selflessness, the democracy and community, the solving of problems, the respect, the awe, the gratitude, the admiration of what God hath wrought, the subdued ego, the denial of self-interest for the greater good, the recognition of our power and yet the stay of the hand . . . .

It's many, many things. But it most certainly is not the serene halls of our nation's capital. It's the serene halls of the West. It's very, very good for our souls, and mine thrills in it.

Man are you the reincarnation of George Carlin? That bolded concept just made roar with laughter.

Jeff -- I admitted in one of the first entries in this thread that my vote was a ruse b/c SU's poll was ridiculous and self-serving.
Don't mind me. I am just having some fun.

Who is Cheech and who is Chong, and who gets to be John Muir?

I saved a Golden Retriever once. Very satisfying feeling.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
