      For thou art the God of my strength:
      why dost thou cast me off?
      Why go I mourning
      because of the oppression of the enemy?

            Wouldn't she have already been hospitalized for the operation?

            Any guesses what type of surgery?

              I assumed it was the periodic tightening of the lift but I read it was throat surgery - perhaps to remove a foot from it?

                Even by the generous standards we apply to your hyper pseudo intellectual babblings, what is that supposed to mean? You compared justice in Texas to justice in Iran. Texas is not a theocracy, notwithstanding your pathetic religious bigotry. The comparison is total bull sh*t. So now you pivot to "fundies" (an all time fav of yours) and blathering about secular humanist chains. Maybe, occasionally, you could stop trying so hard to impress us, instead sticking to the farking point.

                    The heart pills are next to the sink. We'll wait.

                    Theocrats all have the same aim: the subjection of civil law under divine law. We turned away from that path in the Renaissance and that has been the whole basis of the modern western world.

                    Christianity is better than Islam now. Why? Precisely because there was a secular humanist movement that blunted its ambitions for dominance. You are half right: it is false equivalence. But the reason it is false equivalence is that we put religion in the box of personal conscience.

                    Maybe if you stopped being scared of your shadow long enough, you could see the humor in the fact that the very people who trumpet western moral superiority are the ones laying the most stress on regressive movements which, if successful, would erode that superiority.

                          Many elective surgeries take place at independent surgery centers these days. When I had my shoulder repaired last year it was in a surgery center connected to the orthopedic surgeon's clinic, the nearest hospital being three miles to the east.

                            Actually, if you had followed the threads it was I who brought Texas into the thread as a tongue in cheek (We'll always have Texas - Gone with the Wind reference) response to Iran executing willy nilly.

                            Every poster here has stepped in it at least once. So? We're human.
