Whew... Says Michael, sitting back and digesting a very strong bit
of food for thought. Reminds me why I am so much in awe of the folks who
have the strength to deal with the dying, and the living, on such a
daily and intimate basis.

Of course you've got the right. You also get the responsibilities -
deciding what deserves a response and what doesn't, deciding who you
flame right back and who you tolerate in hopes they'll just go away in
peace. But nobody said that it was supposed to be easy. And, after some
of the things I did to my mind in the anger thread (My thanks again to
averti and shy especially, for their points of view- I needed that.) I
for one know that we do a hell of a lot more here than just insert
things into our orifices...
I frankly don't know if we can make this forum a place for tolerance
therapy for the whole world. It is, after all, a very big world, and
parts of it are squicked beyond description. But even if we can't reach
them all, can't save everyone, each person who gets him, her, or itself
just a little more straightened out by passing through here is a
victory. That may not be as great a comfort as knowing you can save the
world, but I think it's a start.
Michael, who thinks one day, and one perversion, at at time is just
the way to build a life.
