Who's the Real Jerk?
In a recent column, Bill McClellan referred to the Rev. Larry Rice in the following manner: “Rice can seem like a jerk, self-righteous and inflexible, who seems to care not a fig about his neighbors.”
Understand something. This is someone who tries to be a journalist. The “seem” and “seems” phrases are possibly just there to do a little CYA. I have never seen Bill McClellan lift half a finger in regard to the homeless. I can certainly say that about the vast majority of loft-owners and loft-dwellers, who never seem to do anything in regard to the homeless (I mean, beyond complaining and crying over them taking up air in order to breathe). From what I can see, it seems to me as if the lofters would rather go on a staggering drunk and urinate and defecate against the New Life Evangelistic Center and its dumpsters, and then try to blame it on the homeless than to lift even a tenth of an effort to ensure that PEOPLE have access to a bathroom and somewhere other than outside to sleep.
Come on, Bill. You should be better than that. Show a little courage.
Decent people would act to make sure that the homeless can get a shower, a shave, a bathroom, and a bed instead of crying and weeping and moaning over that supposedly “inflexible”, “self-righteous” “jerk” who insists upon using a property to help those in need rather than sell out to some rich guy who doesn’t give a rip about anybody else and just wants to line his own pockets more deeply.

The Bill of Abortion Logic
Originally posted on Google+:
1. Human genetics and epigenetics can produce nothing except humans.
2. The genetics and epigenetics of a human fetus differ from those of the mother.
3. Therefore, the fetus is human and is a different human than the mother and is deserving of rights equal to those of the mother.
4. Further, the fetus did not cause the pregnancy, but is just as much a victim of it as is the mother.
5. Having done nothing to cause the pregnancy, the fetus is therefore an innocent human being not guilty of any crime whatsoever.
6. Therefore, terminating the life of the fetus is a despicable injustice that wisdom calls the shedding of innocent blood.
7. Human beings do have rights, but those rights do not extend to the wanton termination of the lives of those who inconvenience them.
8. You are responsible for your own behavior; your victims are not.
9. You are responsible for your own consequences and have no right to push them off onto the innocent victims of your profligate behavior.
10. Grow up and behave yourselves, and you will find greater peace.

New Hymn, "The Saving Grace of Jesus Christ"
There are times when, like King Saul when the Muse of God does not come at your prompting, you risk giving up the wait and taking matters into your own hands. Then, there are times when you sit down at the writing desk, the Muse of God standing on the paper, tapping its feet in impatience as it waits for you. Then there are times—magical times—when you both arrive at the same place at the same time, and the music flows from your pen. Today is just such a time, in the hymn for today.
The hymn for today is a treatment of the science of salvation.
