Topics of Discussion:

  • Re-visiting the meditation point we ended last episode with: How to create a
    good Pagan Rights Organization
  • Bad News: PPD NEPA Disbanded in favor of smaller events
  • Ants Test Nonviolence of Buddhist Monks, a good lesson on why “Harm None” doesn’t work in practice.
  • Suit and Tie Pagans vs. Hippie Folk: An explanation.
  • Is the “Vampire, Witches and Pagan Party” a sad reality of what the majority of Pagans are like?
  • On a lighter note: 16 things it takes most of us 50 years to learn:
    1. The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of
      helicopters in it.
    2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
      reason why we observe daylight-saving time.
    3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
      you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from
      her at that moment.
    4. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
      gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep
      down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.
    5. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to
      make a big deal about your birthday. That time is: age 11.
    6. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
    7. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never
      want you to share yours with them.
    8. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race
      has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word
      would be “meetings.”
    9. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy
      people who are not in them.
    10. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of
      its glories, and he decides to deliver a message to humanity, he will
      NOT use as his messenger a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle or in
      some cases, really bad make-up too.
    11. You should not confuse your career with your life.
    12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter/janitor, is not
      a nice person.
    13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too
      seriously.
    14. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one
      individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very
      often, that individual is crazy.
    15. Your true friends love you, anyway.
    16. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
