I'm going to change my name to They. Jerry They. Or maybe Jerry People. "They", "People" and other group names don't do much to advance understanding. My ex-wife used to love to say "They" think you are a real idiot, or some other complimentary accolade, and I'd always counter with, "Who is this "They?" I'd like to meet him some time." Or my favorite response was "According to a recent nationwide poll... and then let my voice trail off." In arguments, it's always tempting to resort to "They" "People" or "Everyone" to get your point across. Trouble is, I can never figure out who "They," "people" or "everyone" is, and how the person knows what they all think.

I'd have to say that I rarely find anyone being condescending to me because I believe in God. First of all, I don't talk about religion a lot. Most people aren't comfortable talking about religion, because it can be such a divisive topic. Most people I know.

Are they the "They" everyone talks about? Maybe I do know them, and don't even know it :-)
