Ummm...aren't lesbians gay and therefore included under the term 'gay'? So isn't it a redundant concept like...."Coins & nickels" or "farm animals & cows"? Think about it.
JustAsking said:Yes he was. But he just moves the date everytime he gets to it. I think he is doing it as a kind of performance art, or something. He moves the deadline everytime he passes it. Then he watches all the idiots who have no life, scream at each other in the review section of his booklet on Amazon. It's pure genius.
Don't forget:
"Be that as it may..."
"Lets open a dialog with Joe about it", (when you mean, "lets talk to joe about it.")
or worse, "Let's interface with Joe about it."
"Value added"
Mostly I hate all forms of "corporate mellow-speak".

JA, I think I always "heard" something else when someone used the "it takes a village" phrase - I understood it to mean, not that the whole village directly raises the child, but that the parents need a support system as much as the children do. I think most people misinterpret the phrase to mean that a child should be raised by everyone except the parents.<...>
Sorry, but the third one I believe in even when there is good parenting.

Ah, and "drugs & alcohol" always makes me cringe.<...>

Yes, that is exactly what I mean by it, too. A support system of caring adults in the community is very important in raising a child, even when the child has excellent parenting. Parents can certainly raise a child in total isolation, and children can be raised in a Kibbutz. If I had to choose between those non-optimum extremes, I would choose the Kibbutz.JA, I think I always "heard" something else when someone used the "it takes a village" phrase - I understood it to mean, not that the whole village directly raises the child, but that the parents need a support system as much as the children do.
