All throughout life, there are those whose 'job' it is, to keep all the little peons in line. Make sure their lawns are mowed to some false set of standards, and all the little peons march in lockstep to the whims of whichever party is currently in power. Thanks for sharing your views and impressions...I, too, grew up in the Catholic church; so, while denying the paternalistic dogma of the ones who made the rules, I was able to embrace the mysticism in the deep ceremonies where incense allows the mind to slip into a state other than the here and now. In this world, but not of it...stay strong, my friend! Peace!
