FYI...

"LOS ANGELES - The nation's largest Roman Catholic archdiocese said Friday it will pay $60 million to settle 45 sex abuse lawsuits, the largest payout yet by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and among the biggest resulting from the molestation crisis that's plagued the church.

The cases were among more than 500 abuse claims pending against the Los Angeles Archdiocese.

"It's a day of healing and reconciliation as we move forward with these 45 cases," Cardinal Roger Mahony told The Associated Press. "This is very special for these victims in their moment of healing."

The claims settled Friday involve 22 priests and include allegations from two periods when the archdiocese had limited or no insurance against sexual abuse claims - prior to the mid-1950s and after 1987."

Happy December.

BOO!

For the first time in 18 years there were trick or treaters at my door last night. It was fun. The costumes were very inventive, creative, AND SPOOKY! Children didn't trick or treat in my old neighborhood. In my new neighborhood, they do. I like my new neighborhood better. It's warmer for one. It's much better in many other ways too. Giving candy will become an annual tradition here. We might even broil and eat some juicy children! Happy Halloween!
Peace.

from time to time

one moves.
sometimes on,
other times off.
but it is always best to keep moving i think,
although there is much to be said for stillness.
happy new year.

Well said

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men.

"For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own -- for the children, and the children yet unborn."

Rod Serling, from 1960-something

Open minds have a front door and a back door.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
