if you were to pitch against me, DavidM,
you wouldn't think i'm *OW:)--no pitchers i play bb with think that,but
more the opposite in terms of fit/physique..esp when they see one of their best
pitches goin' ~400 feet outa the yard as has happened at least twice in
different games this Spring
BUT, if we--many of us--go to Somalia or
Ethiopia or India they might wonder (to say the least) about our
lifestyle/s and concerns..
e.g., any one here can tyr to
imagine/think about being unable to choose what to eat..and/or feelin'
proud/lucky/blessed, etc. (or like dancin' in the street:) if
there's a pot with some rice and/or chicken (and even water!) boilin' in
it..
this kinda lifestyle scenario is what it
translates to when 40% of us are OW on the planet, and 40% of us are
flatass starvin..
is it our 'dream' or their
'nightmare'?
(then the Marines (ftr, i was one in the
artillery in the VN era) roll into town lookin' for people/stuff that no
one can find while Haliburtons/Cheneys of the world, et. al., tell the starvin's
gurus/dictators that they need a x-#-of-billion-$ contract to re-build what the
Air Force just blew the hell out of so the tanks/cannons/troops could roll
in on eeaaasy street..
and that's called 'victory'..wheee
long-time General so-and-so can retire now

>You mentioned Jesus being accused of
gluttony, yet point to his
>fasting as evidence he was not a glutton... i realize you said you're 'thinkin'
out loud here' and i like it! but i didn't try to configure the comments, above,
etc. about JC that tightly, your tendency as a rule is to algorhythmize
everything:) (new word-eh?:)..
anyway, it's the matter of
how the NT portrays JC, how he thinks of himself (his
'responsibilites', Iz) that captures my attention...
he came here both 'eating and drinking',
he said, and doin' that with sinful people perhaps like Bill Clinton (whom
i never supported/voted for) it appears; but/yet JC (not Clinton
<rof>) fasted alone on other occasions...
i think a lot about what this means,
e.g. he doesn't sound like a Hindu or a Catholic or an Evangelical <rof>
...whewy...

> Do you think voting is wrong? it's like eating--hard to categorize
NT-wise due to the role of e.g. Gentile self-interest cp. to the love of i.e.
Jewish JC..neither eating*666
(partic 3 squares a day) nor voting*rof is a biblical duty..Izzy is definitely
dizzy..didn't she just say she strives for 'balance'???
