ezs note:  If you live in Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and  Waterbury.  Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people an email.

 Thanks.

ezs note:  The one bright spot are the kids.  If you have compassion for your fellow transgender people, please use the pronoun that they prefer.  As far as the 'state representatives' and 'state senators' go, well, f*$k 'em.

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 8 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :
