- Hi!
-
- I think she just went off her rocker. Never mind being a "skinhead" (great
- term in this case, chuckle!) but the idea of tearing up the picture and then
- saying that it was for a "social cause" (with no prior history of such
- "exhibitions") is, ahem, malarky. I think she did it because of her cronies
- saying it would be "cool" and "politically correct" for her. It seems to me
- that she's pretty unstable (she even began crying on the air). Too bad I
- missed her show, but I saw the one the week after with the picture pasted
- back together - what a great idea!
- I can understand the bias people may have against the Catholic church -
- but that's pretty much in the past (Thank God for the Lateran treaty). At
- least our's is supposedly founded by St. Peter and Jesus. The other Christian
- "churches" (no offense, but I am not and shall not be politically correct.
- That is another word for what the moral majority was in the early 80's)
- were based on an adulterer, Henry the VIIIth who threw a temper tantrum when
- he couldn't get a divorce. As for Martin Luther, didn't they reconcile? I'll
- have to re-read that one again... Have a Great Christmas (no generic
- Happy Holidays here - It's either Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah!) and a good
- New Year!
