| I could handle a PPR overloaded with Vexillifer and motl and their less vocal asociates. I was fine with Awesomely Glorious and Master Pedant. But I am only one - of a total of MAYBE five - and I confess I am beat. Every thread degenerates into - well, count the # posts and look at the contents and ... |

Step 3, Powervolk see a launching pad for control. Religion -as opposed to religiuous organization - has nothing to do with any of this. Same as po... |

Michael Jackson is a religion.

| Sometimes the tide is too heavy to have it's course altered by the power one individual yields. We must ride them out and clean up afterwards. As long as we as individuals hold the power to change the guard I have no worries. That is the fight we're facing Philologos. The power to change the guard?... |
