I think everyone is racist,really, and those who think they are totally liberal and gender and race tolerant are not telling the truth. I think it is a tribal self-presevation instinct from long ago. We only like to deal with that which we are familiar. I have found in the most liberal gay world, very racist tendencies twords Blacks and Mexicans. Divertity is a learning process for letting go of fear of the unfamiliar. Many of our religious backgrounds want us to "stick to our own kind" in the subtext or actual text of the Bible. In Leviticus, it is forbidden for a jew to work on the Sabbath, unless it is to cheat the Goyim",yet in another chapter, we must treat a stranger as we treat our family"(sic)
We all have many constructs that influence our subconcious to look for sameness and safety that would never hold up in today's Constitutional Rights. The Bible itself would not be defended by the Supreme Court in a language of law.
 
You have such class in a way that is both astonding and asto

which is why so many of us love way more than our luggage. So tonight I beseech you:

can you show us your magnificent face at least privately.

So classy of Phil to have apologized even though in the wrong forum, knuckleheaded man like me that he is.
 
Group Hugs are nice! Now about Mary Poppins...lets not even go there.
No pictures. "My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke." *

So many thoughts so little time... ATTN Maggie-Hamilton

I have the Sound of Music on Lazer Disk... It is one and a half disks long. I watched it a few months ago, very enjoyable, even with the stops.

I took a Sound of Music trip in High School. Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. It was awesome. I took a Salzburg Sound of Music Tour, I enjoyed seeing the locations, including the gazibo, that were made so famous by the film. I would love to go back, maybe one day.

Finally, Maggie-Hamilton, All of the theatres build prior to the mega-plexes of the late 80s, early 90s are sadly, closed.

Newmarket North and Coloseum Malls have been torn down
The old coloseum-3 is now part of a hotel
The Riverdale sits vacant and has been rumored will be torn down.
As of about two years ago, The Rocking Chair theatre is still there, vacant (My parents last went there to see "You Light Up My Life"), Newmarket and much of South Mercury Blvd. has become the boarder of a ghetto which takes up most of East End. The nearby King James Motel, once known for it's luxury and up town dinning is now a rent by the hour joint. Hookers walk the streets at all hours and many don't feel safe going there. I don't go past 70th street myself in daylight, for that reason. I'll try to go by the theatre sometime this weekend and see if the theatre still remains (I'm curious myself)

I wish that there was some way to save east end with it's potentially beautiful old houses and the Rocking Chair, Riverdale, the King James Motel, and other period buildings with that awesome mid-century style. Unfortunately, Mercury Blvd is in the beginnings of a revitalization and many are being torn down for B.J.s and Lows.... it's a pitty...

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, sorry for the side journey. Maggie, hope this helps. If you have any more questions about your old stomping ground, feel free to ask.
 
Still trying to find out who was with me here last Christmas

I just wanted to thank you for such a good time. Our old friend Kelly, Mixfinder, gave me luscious ways to gourmet cook tenderloins that night. I heard from him today, and he's as fine and uplifting as ever. God, I wish he'd come back.
