Richard, anything can be a scapegoat. Heck, I was scapegoating my old computer last week when it was falling apart! Scapegoating to me just means blaming someone or some group or some guru or some thing for all my woes in life and or all the woes in the world. Not very practical, especially if one wants a happy life.

It is surprising to find so much prejudice on a public forum that is supposedly dedicated to discussing the spiritual life. The only explanation I can think of for this is the cognitive dissonance which seems to affect Barry and Sal. They seem to have lost their spiritual compass and got turned away form any spiritual path. Some people are very susceptible to peer pressure. We already know from their messages they are easily influenced by suggestibility. > From: "'Richard J.

Actually, I'm quickly losing any affection for FFL, because its denizens are too insane to deal with.

Next they'll come after the Jews. Soon they'll probably be coming after the gays and lesbians and then they will come after the cross-dressers and the trans-sexuals, or anyone else they don't like that doesn't agree with them. There are no shades of grey with these guys. The cartoons are just warning shots. #yiv9548760700 #yiv9548760700 -- #yiv9548760700ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;}#yiv9548760700
