I serious doubt if many other Freepers enjoyed the Cosby Show spin off of “Different World”. It advanced some of Bill Cosby’s more left leaning spin. But it also had it moments of brilliance. One of those was when two characters were debating the relevance of prayer.
It came down to one character telling a story about asking for fluff for Christmas and getting a coat instead. The coat protected him from getting a terrible strain of flu going around that winter(yes I know and I did not write the episode). The conclusion that he drew for his friend who was doubting the relevance of prayer was that sometimes God gives you what you need instead of what you want.
I think that 2008 was a prime illustration of God giving us what we really needed, obama. A lot of people are starting to the see the light in ways that we never imagined, even young people, Jewish people. Folks, we may have the greatest rise of conservatism that we will witness in our lifetime unfolding right now. He is bitter medicine...but perhaps what we “really needed”.
I agree. As much as I detest Obama, I think we would be worse off if McCain had won. At least this way the contagion is being dealt with.
