Bad Week For Brothas
first, there is the brother who repeatedly used a taser against a ucla student who had assumed a position of total helplessness (in the university library with a cadre of witnesses) by going completely limp...on the floor.
then, there is the (fireman) brother who had initially been awarded $2.7 million by the city of l.a. for serious harassment (including but not limited to having dog food added to his firehouse menu)...only to learn that he had been photographed harassing others. the wise mayor recinded the award.
and then there is (barf barf) o.j.
once again........so much for the revolution!!

Post Halloween Insight
every time i yack too much via email or directly, someone either sends me
something or says something to me totally unrelated which REMINDS me of
how blessed i am. it's a comforting "message" in ways the initiator
couldn't possibly imagine. the following came from a member of st. john's
who is one of the church's most outspoken, adamant, loud and yet
compassionate members. hope you enjoy same. (mr. b)

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in,
and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep
inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff --including the seeds of doubt,
hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light
inside you to shine for all the world to see.
This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to
pass it to a pumpkin.
I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.
Happy Fall ! !
