Scythian escaped! It’s too late for the rest of us, but at least somebody got out!

Funny !
I’ll give him two weeks. Max.
Once you’ve joined the dark side you can never go back.
Best wishes for your auto race and the remainder of your life.
One last thing before you go...
Do you mind contributing to the Freepathon?
Scythian must have paid JimRob the ransom money.....the rest of us are doomed!!!
Farewell FRiend, one day we will see you again. The rest of us will continue the battle until you decide to come back to the front and fight with us once again.
So, until then..........
The only sad thing I see about this is becoming ignorant about everyday politics and current events. If you don’t know what’s going on daily, then you are part of the problem. But it’s your life.
I’m also reassessing my life priorities and noting too much time spent here, while more important tasks go wanting.
Likey I’ll skim more, write less.
I didn’t even watch it; I embraced the futility long ago.
There’ll always be a worm place for you in my heart.
Take care and may the Lord bless your endeavors.
Nothing in your Opus seems particularly operatic.
It is great that you want to spend time in RL to RL, but there is no need to walk away.
The Collective will note your absence, Hugh, and will find you!
Keep your ID open and some enchanted evening the itch will come to you to post.
It is inevitabrle.
:)
May the Good Lord Bless You & Yours as You continue on your journey.

MORE IMPORTANT? How can there be anything more important than FR?
You need to reevaluate your prioritization algorithm.
Yeah, and I needed to know this why?
Well, at least that was a really short Opus, and didn’t attack FR members directly. Refreshing!
If you don’t want to be bothered by politics (and you don’t mind handing off a communist/tyrannical state to those three blessings from God you’ve had over the years), then fine. Bag out on your responsibilities.
But don’t drag Jesus into this.
Jesus didn’t get into the “Slavery” fight, either. But you can be sure he wanted his people to fight against it.
Jesus didn’t get into the “liberty” fight, either. But you can be sure he wanted his people to fight for it.
You see, the best worship and the best evangelism is that which takes place free and unfettered and without free of prosecution and oppression — just as our Founding Fathers held to be true.
Jesus wants us to fight for the freedom of all people so that we can spread the word and so that people can make a fully willful decision to follow Him or not.
Leastways, that’s my two cents (worth about .00003 cents now, thanks to the socialist spending of the State, soon to be a lot less).
Let's see how you feel when you get good and hungry!LOL. . . By the way, I don't think the Founder's would quite understand your position. John Adam's said, for example, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Benjamin Rush said, "The only foundation for... a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments."
What they are saying, I believe, is that a civil society relies upon the participation of citizens that have been inspired by Godly principles. Maybe, I'm not understanding you and you mean that you are withdrawing from the arena of contentious political discourse but not from the duty to influence society toward God-affirming principles. If so, that's very understandable and forgive my preachy-ness!
You got worms????? yuck!
12 hour days at the office, limit exercise time, limit home organization, and personal relationship time.
Alogithm is firmly in order!
Any Freepers out there with a waist larger than 34”?
