'old bob',
please do not be too harsh on me
I understand the "rite of passage" e.t.c are important steps to initiation. I'm all for it. Somehow I cannot digest the idea of "hazing". Thought cannot really be graded. Since everyone here in GA come across to me as thinking individuals, I believe all of us understands the value of the thinking\reasoning mind. Sadly though in the planet we call earth, the numbers of such minds are going dangerously low of late. Besides dont we already have enough "straight" people judging us for what we are, out in the world?
(personally I believe such people are the really crooked ones).
Anyway, I remember this wonderful quotation that came along with Sir_Galahad's message. WE do have very few religion actually being practiced that teaches us to love each other.
Allow me to do my part, Thank you for the wonderfully warm welcome message. Glad to be part of the clan. Please take no offense, for none is intended
