Adams Rubble: Hello Riddle :)
Adams Rubble: Sorry I am late (pant pant)
Riddle Sideways: is ok, was distracted until just now
Adams Rubble: had to rush to post office to get birthday card off to grandchild
Riddle Sideways: ah! very important!
Riddle Sideways: must arrive exactly on time
Adams Rubble: I got the wrong date in my head and now am going to be two days late with everything
Adams Rubble: befuffled grand parent
Adams Rubble: befuddled
    --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: and the anguish you're putting youself through over it
Adams Rubble: was up in the middle of the night thinking about the difficult human relations issue facing our town
Riddle Sideways: oh dear, yes
Adams Rubble: was remembereing that the larger Talmus was written in Babylon, not Jeusalem
Adams Rubble: Talmud
Adams Rubble: that the destruction of the Temple in jerusalem led to the growth of local synagogues which is kind of the birth of moderm Judiasm
Adams Rubble: It can be argued that both the birth of modern Judiasm as well as Christianity grew out of the growth of synagogues although the fundamentalist Christians would find that appalling
Adams Rubble: the latter part that is
Riddle Sideways: funny, was a lively dinner last night with nearly the same discussion
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: one guest kept slapping forehead over pieces that he had not put together
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I can understand that
Riddle Sideways: (puts on best W voice) if you build a Great Temple to serve ALL and somebody destroys it. build another
Riddle Sideways: if somebody destroys that one too. Give up
Riddle Sideways: go build lots of little ones spread all over
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: then define the rules so that anyplace can be a meeting place
Adams Rubble: wherever two or more of you gather in my name, I will be there _paraphrase of Jesus

Adams Rubble: was thinking of the bad kings of ancient Israel and Judea who messed up their politics and got the country invaded and their people carried off into slavery
Riddle Sideways: And then another group saw a perfectly good abandoned place to build a few really good temples up on top
Riddle Sideways: Yes. That mixing and confussion over separating church and state
Adams Rubble: we can find common threads in most religions that can bring us all together but religion can be used to divide and kill us
Riddle Sideways: shelves of history books showing that
Riddle Sideways: and Both sides said "G-d is on our side"
Adams Rubble: sigh

Adams Rubble: I was very dpressed all day yesterday
Riddle Sideways: so sorry, kept the smiles for some time yesterday
Riddle Sideways: still have the lotus poofer (thank you Eden)
    --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: which (of the many) subject got you the most depressed? (bad question)
Riddle Sideways: hopefully not the Babylon one
Adams Rubble: I think the story of the Quebec man burning the woman sent me over the top
Adams Rubble: he did in front of her mother and her children
Riddle Sideways: oh yes! that came back part way thru the day
Adams Rubble: love can turn to possessiveness and hate
Adams Rubble: it is too awful to contemplate
Riddle Sideways: Yet, so much time comtemplating
Riddle Sideways: or trying to comtemplate
Riddle Sideways: and not getting it
Riddle Sideways: InConCeivIble (silly move ref)
Riddle Sideways: so many days this year of Trying to comtemplate a warped mindset
Riddle Sideways: so many incidents
Adams Rubble: thinking of all the lives ruined

Adams Rubble: got very depressed reading about the story behind trump's photo op in El Paso. How could a man be so non-emphathetic?
Adams Rubble: parading an orhaned child in front of the cameras and flashing a thumbs up sign
Riddle Sideways: have avoided those stories/photos
Adams Rubble: reading about the very young daughter at a party celebrating in her yellow dress while her parents were being gunned down
Adams Rubble: I guess I usually do because my reaction was that there is no end to this man's cruelity
Riddle Sideways: the idea, ok will fly My biggest jet down there and take some photos and everybody and everything will be Great again
Adams Rubble: the message was "I am great"
    --BELL--

Riddle Sideways: and then ... the first day of school some kids had no idea what had happened to their parents
Riddle Sideways: raid a chicken processing plant
Riddle Sideways: take everybody, working hard there, off to be checked
Riddle Sideways: heard another story that the chicken factory just now had a Jobs Fair to hire lots of new workers
Adams Rubble: :(

Adams Rubble: I am afraid I am going to have you depressed before this session is over
Adams Rubble: typhoid Adams
Riddle Sideways: also the big news that the rules need changing so that only the rich can imigrate here, so no medicare etc is used
Riddle Sideways: TOO LATE. am reeling in the muck
Riddle Sideways: need to deport those food stamp users
Riddle Sideways: next: pick a Tweet, any Tweet "Bad bad very bad person, so bad for disagreeing with My devine rightness"
