seek Registered: 12/18/08 Posts: 232 Loc: mother earth	i thought you went to bed, celtic? anne: i read a couple of different things . . . that it means sleep soundly, or that it means to sleep with your mattress springs tightened (because in the old days evidently they got loose and you would fall down or something). _________________________ All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. dame julian of norwich - 14th century - mystic

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Anne, In no way did I mean to diminish [you being shot at] by throwing the Illinois political stuff in here. I do apologize. I'm certain being shot at was a hugely traumatic event. When I was a kid, a neighbor was always pointing a shotgun at people. He aimed in my direction once. That freaked me out for a long, long time. God bless you. Prayers and best wishes, _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Jabber, Everyone missed my account of being shot at also, though I think it was worth a mention. But oh well, the subjects fly fast and furiously! Originally Posted By: DJ I was the victim of violent crime twice -- both times in Vermont, in a rather suburban area and in the country. My car was torched (country) and my house was shot up --missing my head by a few seconds and a few inches (suburb). Two separate and unrelated incidents. The second one was racially motivated as I am a white person and was associating with black people. The black people in my company believed it to have been the KKK. We all fled for our lives. _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/

Josie Member Registered: 11/08/05 Posts: 1211 Loc: NJ	Originally Posted By: chatty lady Blaming or insinuating all crimes, or the majority of crime is committed by poor blacks is like saying all dog attacks committed are by ferocious pit bulls....DAH! That is sooooo NOT the case... and I will match my expertise on this subject with anyones...Haven't we beat this racism dead horse enough yet??? Excellent point, Chatty! I said as much on New Years Eve, yet here is the same old tired rhetoric days after we celebrated that the overwhelming majority of our United States citizens, who come from every country in the world, have gotten along very well and have survived another year in the Melting Pot. Prejudice about race, gender, color, physical appearance, religion, politics, sexual orientation, financial status, sports allegiances, etc etc etc .... is universal to all of us since the world was invented. In my opinion, it's how we deal with our own private prejudices which separates the civilized from those who are not. _________________________ Josie

seek Registered: 12/18/08 Posts: 232 Loc: mother earth	josie: sad that you see this thread as "same old tired rhetoric." i often wonder why people who don't like certain threads feel compelled to stick around and comment. what is stopping you from reading something you are interested in. some people think that talking about things is important and i really wish that people would stop repeating that quote which was not even correct. NO ONE HAS SAID ON THIS THREAD THAT THE MAJORITY OF CRIMES IS COMMITTED BY POOR BLACKS. someone misquoted, and then others picked it up and misquoted some more. but it was never said and that needs to be acknowledged. _________________________ All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. dame julian of norwich - 14th century - mystic

seek Registered: 12/18/08 Posts: 232 Loc: mother earth	can you imagine what would happen if i went on some other thread here and made a statement to the people discussing whatever that i found their views "tired old rhetoric?" _________________________ All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. dame julian of norwich - 14th century - mystic
