Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't even know all the Bill of Rights.

I only know the Preamble, thanks to School House Rock. If they'd have done one on the Bill of Rights, I'd be able to sing it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yes, Judaism has a rich and evolving history of struggling with these issues and, of course, it recognizes that these stories apply to a particular time and a particular people. The same can not be said for fundamentalist Christians.

I talked about Christians in the first paragraph. I really don't think the literalist who are loudest in our current culture are the majority of christians now or ever.

You never see Tele-Rabbis condemning Lutheran kids in North Dakota for eating cheeseburgers. Cheeseburgers have to do with their way of worshiping God.

No, you don't, because Judaism doesn't seek converts. But within Jewish communities there is certainly that sort of pressure to follow the rules.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't even know all the Bill of Rights.

We have the right to P-A-R-T-Y!!! (I know that because we had to fight, for our right, to P-A-R-T-Y!!!)

Also, from each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.

That sounds like pinko Commie talk.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm just a bill, yeah I'm only a bill...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Otherwise "fifth commandment" is meaningless shorthand

That's the one about not incriminating yourself, right?

I'd answer that but I've taken the Fifth.

Hee!

Also, the Bill of Rights has "first one's free."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Like maybe God would give us a starship so me and Einstein and Ray Bradbury could travel from galaxy to galaxy...

Am now earwormed with "Highwayman".

I fly a starship across the Universe divine
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again....
