I am glad you can come out of the closet about this. Of course, no one will turn their backs on you for this - especially the Church - even though no mayonnaise or bees for the hive runs contrary to their teachings. The important thing is God will continue to love you despite these peccadilloes.

uh, Riiiiiight. And the world is only 6000 years old.

I think you're talking about different things. Blixa is referring to men going to factories / offices while women stay at home.

Jskains appears to think of the hunter / gatherer as the "traditional family".

Personally I think of the family farm as "traditional family".

I always did feel a bit uncomfortable living in the beehive state.

where Skains fails most drastically is in his inability to account for how the prehistoric "hunter gatherer" model is well suited to implement modern global scale civilizations. It's just ridiculous.

Simple. Man hunts wife. Beats her over head and drags her back to his mommy's basement. Man hunts prospects at Church to be added to pyramid schemes. Woman gathers scrapbooking materials. And they all lived ever after until they died.

While the economy would collapse and billions would starve, at least it would cut down on porn, homosexulaity, and mothers away from their children--at least for the ones who survive.

Can I keep my body if I vote for the losing plan?

Actually, I might take another body. If so, then Nehor, I want your body.

Nooo! Bad image! Abman you fiend!

(for the record, I fear bees, though I'd like to believe this was a rational phobia: I have terrible insect sting allergies, so while I have never been stung by a bee, fear that I would have one of those life-or-death reactions.)

To quote the cop in Rio on the Simpson's episode, "I am flattered but I do not swing that way." Unless it's at least a foursome.
