Art is Freedom, but Freedom is Elsewhere
Nemesis
freedom is not found in death 'cause you always leave behind you shadow ... life is freedom when you can use all yous sense to the full but above all you can write .....
If art if freedom
then freedom is wonderful
even when it's else where
cause I'm as much a part as you
and in this strange freedom
we can explore
that space we feel we need to fill
words just words
I know
but I had to say
here is now
our art is our freedom
express yourself
in
this
little
space
it's yours not to waste
When I was an executive, I suggested they call a radiopaging system 'Nemesis' (I was being logical, a classsical student, it always gets you in the end!') They said it was too negative - people don't want to be 'got'
Freedom is in your mind, and can be different in different sectors of your life. You can be a slave in one activity, and free in another. it all depends which one is the most important in your life.
HUNTSVILLE, AL—Jesus Christ, son of God and noted pro-life activist, killed two and critically wounded seven others when He opened fire in the waiting room of a Huntsville abortion clinic Tuesday.
Security guards at the Women's Medical Clinic of Huntsville were able to disarm the Messiah before He could reload His weapon, a secondhand Glock 9mm pistol that authorities said He purchased legally at a Jackson, MS, sporting-goods store.
"Abortion is a sin," said Christ as He was led away in handcuffs. "It is an abomination in the eyes of Me."
Witnesses said the attack, which took the lives of Dr. Nelson Woodring, 51, and clinic nurse Danielle Costa, 29, came from "out of nowhere."
"He walked up to the admissions desk and asked if He could see Dr. Woodring," receptionist Iris Reid said. "The next thing I knew, He was shouting Biblical verses and opening fire on everything moving."
"It was horrible," said injured clinic nurse Jessica Combs, recovering at a local hospital with bullet wounds to the leg and abdomen. "He put his hands over Dr. Woodring's head and told him He forgave him for his sins, and then He shot him right in the face."
Huntsville police officials are not certain how the Messiah was able to bypass clinic guards and proceed undetected past security cameras and into the clinic waiting room, where He produced the gun from its hiding place in the folds of His robe. Federal investigators are similarly baffled, saying that the heavily armed Christ had moved in "mysterious ways."
Speaking to reporters from His holding cell, Christ, 33, said He had "no regrets" about what He had done.

"As I said in John 16:21, every life is precious," Christ said. "This means every life, not just those who have already been born. My father, the Lord, feels the same way I do. In Jeremiah 1:5, He said unto the prophet Jeremiah, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.' The unborn fetus is a sacred, living creation of my Father in Heaven and should be treated as such."
Added Christ: "What if the Virgin Mary had decided to abort me? Certainly she must have been tempted to do so. After all, it wasn't even her decision to conceive me in the first place. But in the end, she made the right decision, bringing her pregnancy to term and giving the world a Savior. Blessed is she among women."
According to legal experts, if convicted, Christ could face the death penalty.
"The state of Alabama has the death penalty, and this crime is certainly the sort that would be construed as a capital offense," University of Michigan law professor Arthur Lipscomb said. "With the right judge and jury, Christ could very well be put to death yet again." In such a case, Lipscomb said, Alabama would likely use lethal injection rather than crucifixion.
Christ said He is unafraid of the prospect of execution. "Those who know me know that I am willing to die for the sins of others, whether those sins be avarice, slothfulness, false idolatry or the butchering of unborn life," Christ said. "The bottom line is, abortion stops a beating heart."
Tuesday's shooting is not Christ's first brush with the law. On April 8, 29, He was arrested in the Roman province of Judea for alleged false claims to the throne of the Kingdom of Israel. On Jan. 11, 1996, He and six other pro-life activists were jailed for blocking the entrance to a Cheektowaga, NY, abortion clinic. In October 1997, He was arrested for plotting to mail anthrax-laced packages to two dozen abortion doctors across the U.S.
"Abortion is an abomination. It is a sin. It is murder," Christ said. "I only did what any good Christian would have done."
Christ's followers have been overwhelmingly supportive of their leader.
"As it says in Psalm 139:13-16, 'For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body,'" said Ralph Anson of the Houston-based Every Life Is Precious. "Those people at that clinic were killers, and they deserved to die."
"We may not understand everything He does, but we must believe it is for the best," said Rev. Joseph Abernathy, minister at First United Baptist Church of Huntsville. "As Christians, it is not our duty to question what our Savior does. We can only live according to His example."
Er dot dot dot right.
if you try to understand something beyond your nature you are definitely going to make mistakes... so, that's how a thread is destroyed.
:oP
I don't answer to a thread that is not corresponding to my nature or my way of thinking... those that can understand me and those I can understand them is the group I belong.
misfit is another word I try to avoid.
is this a scene from Eastenders?

Capital of Culture: Where Else?
Where Else chairman Jackie Lythell said: "We are interpreting the concept of culture in the European sense rather than the more narrow English sense.The culture of the city is about the quality of life it offers its residents and visitors.
"It is about everything from the Zap to Bobby Zamora and from Stravinsky to Shakespeare."
The bid will also set out to show how Brighton and Hove could develop into a worthy European Capita of Culture by 2008. This will include several big public and private sector projects which are expected to be completed by then, including a new city library in Jubilee Street, the planned refurbishment of the Estoria theatre by Stomp and a new ABC Thread stadium.
Equally high-profile will be 'Try It For The First Time'. This will enable postees to apply for council funding to take part in intelligible acts, from windsurfing to skypilot lessons to visiting the psychologist.
Even if the bid is not successful, Where Else organisers hope the campaign will confirm the threads as one of the UK's major destinations and get its name known as allyourthreadarebelongtous.
Our 'Song for Bobby' was voted the most musical football chant in Britain on Radio 5 Live this morning!
For the uninitiated, it it sung to the tune of 'It's Amore'
When the ball hits the goal
It's not Shearer or Cole
It's Zamora!
I know you are simply dying to hear more, so....

Ignore him and he will go away. He's thriving on the intolerance and you just can’t argue with some people.
So, Ari is the judge, then.
Anyone she disagrees with is mad.
Anyone her clique disagrees with is malicious.

Nemesis,
freedom is a state of being.

I was hoping that death was the ultimate in freedom!
Free from want, need and desire.
Free to be!
