LH, I make a few of them like that every now and then so they can set a good example for others. Sometimes it takes with just a few others and that cheers Me up and gives Me hope.

The Monsignor in this recent funeral deal, on the other hand, is too full of himself. Does the word "hubris" mean anything to you? Well, he's got it bad and I'm afraid he's gonna get it. He wouldn't let me become St. Michael the Heretic, which demonstrated his rigid, jack-booted Vatican thug mind, so....

I don't take oaths, except on the witness stand or in court and legal stuff. I figger that if I vow (promise) to "do my duty to God and my country, be square, and obey the law of the pack" (for example) and I break it, how can I be trusted to keep one like "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution..." or to love someone until death do us part or to stop drinking or pledge allegiance to the flag? Either I keep my word or I don't and if I don't at least karma will get me later. And while we're on the subject of promises and karma -- Amos, you still owe me fifty bucks from that poker game in the Peace Cabin last Getaway. You can either donate it to the Fund for Pimps, Prostitutes, Pushers, Politicians, and Other Riff-Raff Beginnin With the Letter P (the FPPPPORRBWP) or all of your guitar string will break at the same time and the stores will all be closed and the only replacement strings available will be cotton string.
