LOL re 'off topic'. Australia this morning was like a local MW.
Looking forward to tonight.


Yeah, no politics, BBC on 5.975 quite clear..

at 02:00 . . . . News From The BBC SNIP . Hati has declared a
state of Emergency after Flooding from Hurricane Jeanne SNIP
SNIP In Sports, Manchester United was victorious over SNIP After
Bloody Riots marred the games SNIP

I was informed earlier on radio Australia (17715 around 01:30 UTC) that
my religious beliefs are "right wing" and that Mel Gibson's "The passion
of The Christ" is regressive theology. The person being interviewed was
a self described liberal progressive theologian.

I was further informed that crucifixion is not all that bad to suffer
and that Christ died for my sins is just more regressive theology. I'm
confused about who to pray to now.

Looks like religious kooks are not just on American SW stations anymore.


Or maybe it might make you wonder if you are living in, and wallowing in
the bucolic ideas of, a backwoods slough of confusion that the rest of
the 1st world has passed by.

You must have missed my signature. I live in Ventura California and
wallow in the Pacific ocean on occasion. Can't you get anything right?

I thought my religious views were mainstream instead of "right wing"
before that broadcast. Never thought I would hear a religious view
qualified in a political way.

But I thought it was an interesting point in the program, "Religion
Report with Stephen Critenden (sp?)", that Pope John Paul II had never
lived in a democracy, only under the not very democratic pre-WWII
Polish government, Hitler, and the Soviets. And that the Vatican and
the Hapsburg remnant were among the last formal royal courts in Europe.
(The topic for that segment was the beatification of Carl, one of the
last Hapsburgs around the time of WW I).
