That means there is only one me, and its all of you. Watching all this hate is difficult for me, as I see no way out, that does not involve a great deal of suffering.<br /><br /> I do not ascribe to your religion, but it does say love one another.

Similarly, I have worked among liberals all my life and know what the ones who bring up hate so quickly say when they think there are only their own present, and these signs are in the same heavily Democratic town, so that likely influences me as well.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-87429269055555121952020-09-16T06:30:04.864-04:002020-09-16T06:30:04.864-04:00I was mulling over your juxtaposition of 'Hate...I was mulling over your juxtaposition of 'Hate has' vs 'Be Kind' yesterday morning because there's a couple of the 'Be Kind' signs on my drive to the railroad, and I have somewhat the opposite feeling. The 'Hate has' folks at least have a plausible neutrality regarding where hate does have a home. I'm sure 'Be Kind' is often considered a gentle reminder to the reader but it's still more direct.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-36191363416138465942020-09-15T20:59:44.912-04:002020-09-15T20:59:44.912-04:00Before I commented, I looked it up, and apparently...Before I commented, I looked it up, and apparently Dumas thought of the mirror trope before Stoker did. <a href="https://medium.com/@toothpickings/vampires-mirrors-shattering-a-myth-bcb4199e0531" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@toothpickings/vampires-mirrors-shattering-a-myth-bcb4199e0531</a><br /><br />You learn something new every day...jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-85697139209699643592020-09-15T20:23:04.438-04:002020-09-15T20:23:04.438-04:00Mirrors too painful, PG?Mirrors too painful, PG?Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-17132866104687928622020-09-15T18:54:51.678-04:002020-09-15T18:54:51.678-04:00Wow.

"...<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH1e8uZzTaY" rel="nofollow">Tom Lehrer: National Brotherhood Week.</a> <br /> <i>"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!"</i><br /><br />For years I talked politics over beers on Friday night with a Democrat neighbor. If my criticism of a Democrat politician came too close to home, he would reply that he was not a hater. Criticism means hatred, right? His dislike of hating didn't stop him from talking about "Teabaggers."
