Although it doesnt tell you to actually care about what your doing, but to just do it. Amazing article however nonetheless.KilluminatisRexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07456407133430163716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-63900388762469874322008-11-19T08:20:09.117-05:002008-11-19T08:20:09.117-05:00I haven't looked at this blog in a little while.

KEEP THIS IN MIND: Who actucally DID something about a GL racist policy?? WHO? I don't remember anyone from Ohio coming to demostrate aganist racism.<BR/><BR/>I'll make a deal LEAVE me alone and recieve like wise. Stay up there and I'll stay here. Since no one dared to help make a difference other than a handfull here be mindful who the racist are and aren't.<BR/><BR/>You would think I would learn not to post here and believe me it will not happen again.David Cookseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14791244796422211763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-64815022808186580342008-10-29T10:00:45.297-04:002008-10-29T10:00:45.297-04:00No.Gingermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903281372336437371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-21524638058786565672008-10-29T09:25:29.948-04:002008-10-29T09:25:29.948-04:00does this include the same southern gentlemen who are intolerant of racial and religious differences?2 BOWL CAINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00704479584240584425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-6608417972127478442008-10-28T21:48:05.243-04:002008-10-28T21:48:05.243-04:00A modification in the Southern Gentleman comment would be that you call anyone older than yourself, even by one year, Sir or Ma'am or Mr. or Ms or Mrs. And expect the same.Gingermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903281372336437371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-63284237982356621152008-10-28T20:26:34.599-04:002008-10-28T20:26:34.599-04:00In Saint Paul, there is a wonderful business known as Heimie's Haberdashery. The store sells an assortment of hip formal wear, offers true barber services by a man named Moustache Jim, and custom tailoring. It is a very interesting store that reminds me of the turn of the century with singing barbers and classy dress including top hats.<BR/><A>http://heimies.com/</A><BR/><BR/>NickThe Millennial Freemasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10365269439441609340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-50597423140692383362008-10-28T19:34:47.104-04:002008-10-28T19:34:47.104-04:00A Southern Gentlemen:<BR/><BR/>1.

Merton was appalled at this, but over the years I've come to understand the chaplain's interpretation.<BR/><BR/>I believe in French, the cardinal virtue of charity is "savoir fare." the ability to to know what to do in a given situation. In Mahayana Buddhism, there is a concept of "skill in means," which seems to imply the same thing.<BR/><BR/>Is this not the heart of friendship, morality and brotherly love?Gingermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903281372336437371noreply@blogger.com
