"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." C.S. Lewis
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a choice between moralist wingnut theocrats and the cult of the pseudo-free market... oh my, who to choose for prom.
well right now we've got both. Balance? i don't know, have you ever had 2 dates on the same night? That only works if they're strippers.
Was he talking about the Lion, the White Witch, or the Wardrobe when he wrote this...?
Or you arrive with a rhino and leave with a fly...thats been known to happen.
Wait, hang on. I'm trying to remember a song from Hoist...who can I text...damned hippies won't use blackberry.
Love your country, but never trust its government.
-- Robert A. Heinlein.
Lily, God never listens to what I say...
Is it God or Allah?
I think they are probably the same Guy...but I've never seen either of Them in the same place, at the same time.
From Hoist: "God never listens to what I say; God never listens to what I say. And you don't get a refund, if you over-pray"
fly why does it have to be a guy? couldn't god be a woman? ...................yeah right, that's a good one right? aaahahahahahah, oh man i crack myself up...................................just kidding lily.
God is most certainly a dude...Why would he take so much time making women look so beautiful and leave us guys looking as ridiculous as we do...don't believe me? Go stand naked in front of a full length mirror for ten minutes straight and then flip through your JC Penny catalog (a Victoria Secret catalog is not necessary for this experiment)...Isn't it easier to stare for ten minutes at the JC Penny catalog? Rhino, stop looking at the excercise machines and flip to the correct section.
Fly you do have a good point. It makes perfect sense. even straight women think womens bodies are superior looking to mens bodies.
Gadfly, I switched url's by the way for the boot. Its at a different location because a few ladies said they would help me. and 'lilyrant' as the url seemed selfish. I think it is in the coveted 'enemy' spot in the Aurora sidebar. Unless Rhino has purged all memory of bootnooses.
He had a disease? I thought he was just phobic, worried about airborn radiation and such. He lived in the geodesic dome and was really cute, right? Not DJ Chris cute, but Ari Fleischer type of cute. A press corps day with Ari and David Gregory would just about send me over the edge. Um, what was the question again?
lily i'm on the boot and the noose more than you, and by the way, you got some crackpots over there. i think you should just delete gadfly from now on, he's just trouble.
I'm not sure how cute he was...those are questions best answered by Rhinos not Flies...but I think you are right, he was phobic.
ummm yeah, he was phobic and he had a disease. why are we talking about donkey in the past tense? is there something you're not telling me? who's wake was that fly?
God is most certainly a dude...Why would he take so much time making women look so beautiful and leave us guys looking as ridiculous as we do...don't believe me?
Nope. Other way around. God is most certainly a woman because men where just the Beta-run. She looked at man laughed long and hard, and then made woman.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
Damn now I know why I despise living under conservative rule so much. Robber barons--check! Omnipotent moral busybodies? Check!
kvatch i think you got something in your eye.
God is a female..with a sense of humor evidently...I mean, really...how else can you explain the Shrub?
Isn't dusty a boys name? if this was second grade you'd be toast.
I kicked the hell out of a boy in fifth grade for that comment..all I got was a black eye.
oh..and I got sent home from school for the day.
Unless Dusty Springfield was a tranny..it works for woman as well.
any relation to rick springfield? that jessie's girl was a catchy tune. Hey isn't jessie a girls name? wow maybe they were lesbians.... that rick springfield was really ahead of his time, doing a song about lesbians decades before brokeback mountain.....
I'm not dead yet...I think?
But you sure have gone missing a lot lately...?
Do I take your last comment to mean you are calling me a lesbian Rhino?
Dusty, I think he was attempting a clever play on words (i.e. I wish that I was Jessie's girl)...and of course as a site made up entirely of men (not that there's anything wrong with that)...we hope you are a lesbian. But either way, it's always good to see a new face.
You hope I am a lesbian?
I hope you "guys" have half a brain between you to share when your not dreaming about lesbians.
All these comments are tongue-in-cheek correct?
Since I am new to this site(Rhino commented on mine so I was just checking his out) I have no idea how to take some of the comments.Taking the high road vs the low road..I wasn't really sure.
Dusty don't get all crazy, i don't want to end up like that guy in 5th grade.
Anyway it's good to have another female around here besides just lily and donkey.
lol..crazy? moi?
I just fired back..turnabout is fair play..and I was just playing around..relax..at least till the bat guano hits the fan.
bat guano, now thats some good eatin.
Who has half a brain to share? And who wants to think about anything except lesbians? However, tongue and cheek...that's just hot! I think you might be catching on Dusty!
(sigh) Dusty, they are always this way. I got used to it and now I just sit around enjoying their sexual tension. Donkeyhue will come in, aloof and alpha doggish and slap rhino's ass a bit, Gadfly will play along but invariably he will get all philosophical... Warlike will make a quick joke about somebody's appearance... then the predictable 'masculinity affirming' chick jokes will start. Unless they get started on manziers(c).
Who this week, fellas? Angelina? Julianne? The Contorted Contessa?
Might I recommend Shakira?
And I love Dusty Springfield. Rick Springfield was on General Hospital and I just cannot abide such behavior from a musician.
OH no-Kvatch! I'm so busted!
Turnabout is foreplay???
What's foreplay?
Jessie is girl's name? Would you tell that to Jessie james (assuming of course he was still alive)? And by the way, the lyrics went I wish that I had Jessie's Girl.
OH no-Kvatch! I'm so busted!
I'll never tell.
I knew this was complicated...you must be of the genius variety of Trolls. I pointed out that I thought he was playing with the words...pretending perhaps that Rick Springfield was a girl/homosexual and so was Jessie...But we all know that Rick Spriengfield was a stud and thus the joke. Trolls have never been funny in all of their history...In fact, they are usually grumpy and mean. Usually they live with other male members of their species. Typically, they live under bridges, keeping people away from their given path by blocking passage. Somehow, that seems like a pretty lowly, generally nasty position to carry...Troll. Good luck with that...
