I think satire should be ceased until we reclaim our true American psyche.

As long as we allow ourselves to be twisted around by the popular media, as long as we don't examine EVERYTHING carefully, as long as we suffer from childlike credulity, we will never reclaim a so-called "true American psyche."

When reading ANYTHING (I don't care about the source), we must be skeptical and look for an agenda.

Good satire can help us with that.

What a tedious and unnecessary task that does nothing to build confidence in those we're supposed to trust.

We had our Christmas cantata last night (He Gave Everything), and the fellowship following was one of the most enjoyable human events of my life in a year.

60 or 70 people, gathered around more sugar than is healthy, (Baptists, of course), hot cxoffee and chocolate, all in the same book, on the same page, for the same reason ...

The conversation gushing and diverse from mingle to mingle ...

delicious.
