TRTR(1) Eye Goddesses Wearing Dipthongs

[Michael Bailey]

anyroad, welcome back, Mr Mackin!  it's been awhile...

yes, probably the church hierarchy got together and thrashed out some
issues and made the theology dovetail with their financial and
administrative priorities.

and just like in politics, if you are at enough of a distance to apply
common sense it seems like they are ignoring the most important
thing(s) to focus on minutiae

if you want to balance the budget, stop starting wars all over the place, eg...
and for gosh sakes somebody legalize marijuana...

or, if you want to spread the gospel through all the nations, manifest
God's goodness and do good works...if your religion is any good, it
should make you able to get along with others, persuade and find
common ground, rather than anathematizing them...

stuff that seems obvious enough

I wasn't born until the year TR was published, so like Mark I don't
remember the social discourse of those times.
I started keeping track in the 70s, and I seem to recall that in the
bars of the college town the music most often precluded much
conversation.  In the classes, there was some good discussion, of
course.
Nowadays, quien sabe?  I don't get around all that much...
