No one can ever accuse the Pax Acidus community of not having variety in it's ranks. Both coasts of the US ... Europe represented ... and the great (and very large) state of Texas.
It's always somewhat amusing to me how I'm perceived by different groups of folks that I associate with. Considering where I live, I'm usually thought of as an arch liberal. Here, I think I've gained the rep as being somewhat to the right of the PA mainstream.
My brother ... the Baptist, conservative, southern, police officer that he is ... invited me to see my niece in her church play at Christmas time. Afterwards, he asked me if I felt a burning sensation as I entered his church. Would I start to feel like I'm about to spontaneously combust if I met all of y'all one day???? HA!
