l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...

Picture this: I point out logic to a certain someone (along with some helpful tips on how to recapture the fine and certifiably lost art of having a heart...!) - and that certain someone embarks on a rant about "natural selection" - adapted to the cutthroat world of BUSINESS! Hmm... John McCain now - did he just say that the U.S. is "winning" in Iraq?!?

"HOPE" by the little-known group called "Anathema". Hmm... what is wrong with THAT picture? Can there truly be any "hope" for the anathema?!? One needs to know the meaning of the word anathema of course in order to know... Or merely attempt to make any sort of call on that rather... ah... touchy subject still? Touchy... but barely so nowadays! Who cares anymore about such things as the purgatory, limbo, hell, excommunication, the difference between seven deadly sins and seven v...
