"A liberal atheist's prayer"

I "pray" that I will always be the sort of personality that EVERYONE no matter what their political or religious persuasion will feel comfortable talking with me.

today I had a very brief but enjoyable conversation with a very wealthy pastor's wife, who used to work for Dan Quayle!  We found the common ground and enjoyed each other's company a lot.

I think life is richest when we give people a chance, take time to listen, and find the common ground.

"T-shirt slogans"

Today I saw a man with a t shirt that said this:

"Keep working hard, so welfare recipients don't have to!"

I told the man that

"That's a mighty provocative t shirt your wearing!"

He smiled

I went on to say

"It's probably not a good idea for me to say what I think of it!"
