I imagine it was a little easier in the past when you could be sure that all of the congregation had a pretty similar background. You know, I haven't given this enough consideration. I recognize it's something that you have hit on before in this thread. And Mad had once made a related point that th...

Whoa, Constance, poorly worded question on my part, sorry for the confusion. And you don't need to apologize to me, I sometimes leave things hanging forever. I had intended to ask if the book Wicked was a parody of the movie The Wizard of Oz or the story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz . I think I just a...

But, as far as my wishes go, the primaries last night weren't a pretty sight. I'm not surprised McCain beat Huckabee in South Carolina, but I was so hoping otherwise. And ...

And I can't say I agree with the argument that shifts responsibility from Dmitri Nabokov to any other group. Mad, are you speaking here to the suggestion raised in the article for a third alternative where Dmitri passes the manuscript to a trusted friend for decision after Dmitri's death? Or are yo...
