Andersen et al vs. King County in 2004 led to SB5688 and to Referendum Measure 71.

To touch this case, the first impulse is to run like Hell and one that all should heed. But we can’t. Why not? It has become the law. Looking therein, we find it consist of three components:

One, it begins with a lie. The foundation is sinking, shifting sand. To say that a union between same sex is a healthy, normal existence is for the birds. Yet, no one, and I mean, no one challenges it. Look at it. The only thing constant is spoilt brats screaming, "Because I’m gay, I deserve to be married," and why? Greed for money is number one and then using a law to remove all opposition.

What happened to all were born with the sense it takes to recognize a lie and to know a sucker when we see one? Looking at a case that's known. David Serkin and Michael Poole featured in the Seattle Times said for years that David stayed home while Mike worked. Yet, they swore in court that David was the wage earner and an honest man? Why lie? To impress the judge that a rabbi is gay? Yuk! Only strong delusions could cause one to do such or else high on drugs or booze.

The second component: To follow their line of reasoning enters the realm of insanity. How so? It begins with emotions and all know that emotions are fickle and ends with, "Why is everybody always picking on me?" To be rational, one must preface his words with either sound judgment, the law, a proverb or something solid upon which to stand; otherwise, senseless ramblings. Furthermore, an emotional appeal or childhood trauma not admissible in a court of law, but Andersen was nothing but --

And third, the burnings of Hell is felt. You get burnt on every page, especially, in the judges’ decrees. Why there? No unity, no justice, nor domestic tranquility therein. It’s as if a fire dog was darting about keeping the flames of Hell raging.

Oh, the subject is taboo, but the thought surfaces, "Who’d do what they do?" Now a picture is worth a thousand words, but looks can be deceiving, eh? Well, it’s hard to believe that some of the Plaintiffs would go there. Some must for a woman got a kidney infection at a party and died. So who or what caused it? Should someone be hung for murder or was it just suicide?

How shall we fight this thing and win? George Washington said that we would not win the Revolution by military prowess nor manpower, but by sound reasoning and unanswerable doctrine.

Next, the bible says, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, (an old child is 21), he will not depart from it." Flip the coin: Catholics used to say, "Give me a child until he’s seven years old and he’ll be a catholic for life."

Train in what way? God told the angels, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I’m going to do? --- For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep THE WAY OF THE LORD, TO DO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT, ---." As Abraham’s descendants, can we do otherwise?

The President says: "Spend "quality time" with your kids, help with their homework, and read to them every day?" Will that suffice?

Deuteronomy 6:4-:9: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day (Ten Commandments), shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

The first three on the right and seven on the left of gate or door post. The same on the front and back of you bracelets and frontlets. In other words, training is a 24/7 proposition with the 10 Commandments kept before their faces constantly, eh?

Ann Landers said that her parent’s bedroom was at one end of the house and theirs at the other. Jesus tells of a man who was in bed with his wife and kids. Maybe a smaller floor plan works best, eh? Ann and Abby got into things they had no business doing. And due to lack of supervision, eh? After marriage and children and divorced; when Abby came, Ann wrote, "Being back with Abby was heavenly," or something to that effect.

This confirms that habits learnt in childhood are not easily broken and how important it is to train up a child 24/7. One began preaching that woman came from the man’s rib and wasn’t satisfied until back there and hair was given for her glory and such like. My Dad warned that such talk would get things started, especially, amongst them teenagers, that he couldn’t stop. And so it did.

Well, I can understand where Ann Landers was coming from, but I don’t approve nor condone it. And she had no business publishing such nor promoting such and those spared such in childhood should‘ve called her hand.

Please, note, that only Jews, Catholics, and Calvinist sued for same sex marriages. Knowing their religion explains why, but that does not excuse them nor justify their deeds. And, folks, the extended family takes the most abuse off these as the documents show. Like dripping drops of water that breaks the hardest rock, they continually grind into their faces their perversions until all resistance ceases.

At a seminar on AIDS and Dying, the question was raised: "What if the dead had requested no service nor memorial?"

I’d just about had it with this nonchalant, let it all hang out, anything goes, there’s no consequences to our actions, no connection to the past, the present, nor the future, and raise no objection to anything sexual philosophy. It was so bad that Sanders, an atheist, cremated and buried the ashes of his partner in parts unknown to keep his catholic family from sanctifying the ground. What harm if they did? Oh, the drippings of spite, meanness, and jealousy. This strangle-hold possessiveness is all about me, myself, and I; us and no more!"

I told them, "No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself. When I was sick and unable to handle my affairs, I thank God someone pitched in to do it. When dead, somebody else has gotta make the decisions. The next time these guys come through, I’d suggest they get into a family they can get along with. In the meantime, learn to live with the givens."

A woman spoke up and said, "When the doctor said my brother was brain dead from a car accident, it fell our lot with his wife to decide to disconnect the tubes or not." You could just see her recoiling, "And, I’d wish that task on no one."

The rabbi seemed to come out of his stupor and rose to say, "I don’t care what the deceased wanted, I have more respect for a man’s soul than that and would hold a service."

The Plaintiffs say they want "Civil Rights," when there’s not a decent one amongst the whole lot. How can you demand "rights" when not even civil? Let’s keep the record straight: Is it rights or is it greed they want?

Rules of civility and decent behavior demand that you NEVER discuss family matters outside the four walls, but these drag their dirty laundry out for the world to see and the vultures to feed upon. And why? Just to gloat over trampling them underfoot or to suck for pity? And you NEVER speak evil of the dead and a dead man’s testimony stands. But, no, we trample anything they said underfoot, eh? And NEVER bring a reproach upon yourself or others? Have these rules been rescinded?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott started women’s rights in 1839. Her dad, Judge Cady, begged her to give up such nonsense. She stubbornly refused and at about 3 am, he cried and said, "I would to God you had waited until I was dead before coming out with this stuff." How many would turn over in their graves if they knew what these Plaintiffs were doing?

In objection to a dog show, I told the preacher he knew better than to carry on such bull-- in the house of God." He replied, "Oh, sister, what word just came out of your mouth. Your testimony will never be effective." I wasn’t through with him, but I knew I had to use bible or else he’d spew it out and what I mentioned was trivial compared to the other atrocities. I said, "The bible says it’s a shame for a man to have long hair and you know better than to let a long haired hippie wearing a Playboy necktie take part in the services." (Black with a pink bunny at the end.) His son-in-law and assistant pastor. Another Tobiah with Nehemiah, eh?

He sighed, "Oh, sister, long hair is just a phase." Well, then, let the creep stay outta the pulpit until he gets through this rebellious phase, eh? And don't prolong the agony for a case of salvation works wonders instantly! "And my daughter got him that tie while at Disney World." Playboy allowed to sell his wares at a kid’s amusement park?

As I walked down the hill toward the bus, I moaned, "Lord, if you can’t use the bible for a standard, what then?" The thought came to mind: "Consenteth not to wholesome words?" What did that mean?

1 Timothy 6:3-- says, "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that which tendeth unto godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about -- Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." I believe that is self-explanatory and "Here I stand and can do no other," as Martin Luther said.

Last, our founders used four words interchangeably: Conscience, religion, thought and reason. So is SB 5688 an infringement upon freedom of personal convictions? It is since it forces me to accept same sex couples as mine equal and rewrites the dictionary in order to construe all gender specific terms as neutral to allow them to play house without condemnation and makes it a crime to speak against them.

Thomas Jefferson wrote to Lafayette that such a religious law existed in VA, but that society would not tolerate the enforcement thereof; but, he said, as long as it was on the books, it’d be a torment to those most likely effected.

Benjamin Franklin said if one were to introduce basic Christianity into society, it would turn the world around. What’s basic Christianity if not honesty (no lying, no stealing) and morals with the first being sexual? What about modesty? Temperance? If this is the definition, here goes.

But, folks, any claim brought against sodomy be it bible, law, history, tradition, society, or nature is knocked down by the gay community. How so? It goes like this. Remember Mark Sidran’s anti-homeless bull? Honey buckets put up all over and Gary Locke, King County Executive, had a sign outside the front door of the administration building that read: Private property. No trespassing. With an outhouse next to it. Can you believe?

I told the assistant chief of police that public property meant just that and that you couldn’t lock the parks at night nor forbid any of us from using public facilities and forcing mothers with children to use a honey bucket with no paper and no running water was criminal. He gave excuses and everything kosher, per him.

At the end, I pushed the Constitution off the table, saying, "Okay, you say that’s no longer in effect and we’ll get rid of that." Pushing the bible off the other end, "And, per you, to Hell with the bible." Then with folded hands and calmly, "Okay, you won’t go by the Bible and you won’t go by the Constitution, so what in the Hell are we gonna go by?" (The law is of the head, reason of the heart.) I lost grip and holding my head in my cupped hands, I moaned, "Mike, I can’t stand a lawless existence." Looking up at him and begging, "Please, tell me, Mike, WHAT -- ARE -- THE -- RULES? Have they been written down? I'm a big girl and can take the givens in life. Let me have the book so I can get it straight."

He sighed as he turned aside, "LaCrese, I don’t know if you intended to or not, but you sure give a man a lot to think about."

Enough is enough. To all, have a good day.

The law as written which has corrected over 300 RCW’s to read as follows:

"For the purposes of this chapter, the terms spouse, marriage, marital, husband, wife, widow, widower, next of kin, and family shall be interpreted as applying equally to state registered domestic partnerships or individuals in state registered domestic partnerships as well as to marital relationships and married persons, and references to dissolution of marriage shall apply equally to state registered domestic partnerships that have been terminated, dissolved, or invalidated, to the extent that such interpretation does not conflict with federal law.

(If the law had ended here, this is what same sex couples said they wanted and what legislators told us it would say. To add the following is way beyond acceptable.)

"Where necessary to implement this act, gender-specific terms such as husband and wife used in any statute, rule, or other law shall be construed to be gender neutral, and applicable to individuals in state registered domestic partnerships."

THE LAW IS THE END OF ALL DISCUSSION.

What the law says is final and further discussion is pointless. The verdict stands and, as Thomas Jefferson said, "All must acquiesce," which means consent without protest.

Thus, I haft to shut up about it and live with this law? One that says all terms relating to marriage and family are now "gender-neutral"? That’s impossible and I shan’t even try.

Awh! What ignorance was spread just to pass this law. First, the state Supreme Court couldn’t rule against the Defense for Marriage Act, but told legislators that if they’d redefine marriage then gays could marry. Here ‘tis, but will it stand?

How could Chief Justice Alexander be so far off his rocker? His object, sucking for gays vote, who’ve become the largest and strongest political power in Washington state. And, behold, the Hell created by such!

Sen. Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, in essence said in 2007, "Even though the majority voted against domestic partnerships in 1998, the tolerance for them has reached such a point that it’s time to let them marry." Really? Who said? From the Hell that’s ensued, is it fair to conclude she was wrong?

WHAT SOCIETY HAST TO SWALLOW:

If the law had said, "Domestic partners will now enjoy all the benefits, etc. of a married couple and free to call themselves spouses." Fine! We can live with that because it’s as Thomas Jefferson said, "If it don’t rob my pocket or break my bones, it’s nothing to me what you believe or do."


Also, we’ve conditioned ourselves to live with that, but NOBODY mentioned we’d haft to screw with the definition and meaning of words. It was supposed to give same sex couples all of the rights of married couples without the actual marriage license. Why didn’t they stop there?

Thus, to add that gender-specific terms must be construed to be gender neutral blows the mind. Husband no longer means a male? Wife no longer a female? Woe, you’re messing with the digits in my head and insisting that I obliterate the mental picture that flashes into my mind when referring to these terms? I’m not going there!

A statement for Referendum 71 says: "This law does not affect schools or change the definition of marriage in any way." Like Hell you say. To construe all words related to marriage or family as gender neutral is a bombshell!

Give the devil an inch and he’ll take a mile, right? So if gender neutral, marriage is out, replaced by domestic agreement? And the vows: "Do you take this individual -- (person out for son a gender term) -- to be your lawful, (wedded out because it means man to woman), partner or spouse (non-gender terms), to have and to hold until death do you part." Remove the gender and, as you can see, these vows could be taken between humans and animals, which some have already done.

This gender biz is identity connected. In grammar, we were taught that "ship" was feminist because she carried a burden from shore to shore. Hurricane feminist because of her "production," and what a destruction, eh? "Noun" masculine, unless otherwise noted, and "verb" feminist because it produces an action.

Does it matter? You be the judge. Did you know that Balaam was riding a female donkey? A serpent is a female snake? Ghost is masculine, spirit feminist? Evil is feminist because it spreads like wildfire, whereas wicked is masculine that includes killing, stealing, etc. In the OT, people had their father’s name, such as Israelites, Ishmaelites, etc. The NT it’s the female city. Samaritans, Jews for Jerusalem, Philistines now called Romans, etc. Does it matter whether we're named after dad or mom?

WHO’S ON WHO’S SIDE?

Those that say marriage is between a man and a woman have the bible, the Holy Spirit or their Conscience, tradition, conviction, science, and nature on their side.

Those for same-sex have nothing but emotions on their‘s. Otherwise, they don’t have a leg to stand on because it‘s as Ron Sims said after Prop. 8 failed in California, "If two men love each other, they have the right to enjoy all of the benefits of a married couple." But can it be love when Paul called it lust?

Consider: Love is of God and love comes from God. And all know that God is against sexual immorality and His judgment is death to all guilty. How then could God give you love for something that will damn your soul in Hell?

Furthermore, those who misbehave in bed have nothing compared with what’s between a man and a woman whom God hath joined together and who is abiding by His law. Now, don’t argue with this. Get over the hurdle and move on.

IDENTITY AND RELATIONSHIPS

A catholic priest in 1929 wrote that if a child was not taught NOT TO PLAY WITH HIMSELF by the time he was three to five years old, he would always have trouble with his identity and seldom if ever be able to make lasting relationships, especially, with the opposite sex.

Identity is of the head and this law is trying to alter the mental picture we have regarding marriage. Is that possible?

LG says: Whether taught or not, but if guilty, just as screwed up in the head with humongous anti-social traits. And, oh, my! their hideous suspicion and extreme hatred toward others. Everyone else is filled with homophobias, not them, and blah! Blah! Blah!

In about 1660, a 17 year old was caught in the act of bestiality in the courtyard. Since no animals around, what had he done? Played with himself. When asked, "Why and when did you start such?" The boy replied, "Because of disobedience to parents, laziness, etc. and about a year ago."

The boy was hung. Was that just? Evil, if not contained, spreads like wildfire and pretty soon all children in the village would be doing likewise. By being guilty, the boy forfeited his right to life and had to be killed in order that all would be warned and the remembrance of his evil deed removed from their midst.

Nebuchadnezzar, named Lucifer at birth (angel of light or messenger of God) changed it to the god of magic. What difference did it make? He changed the names of the Hebrew children in order to change their identity and changed their diets in order to change their attitude. Daniel refused both and remained a judge of or for God. Praise the Lord!

Paul said, "I’ve fought a good fight." What was he fighting for? With whom did he battle? He said, "I’ve kept the faith." His belief in God had remained steadfast. He had not been beguiled as Eve, nor deceived, nor seduced to give up his faith. If only I can say the same when it comes my time to go!


PERVERTED JUDGEMENT, WHERE DOES IT LEAD TO?

Give the devil an inch and he’ll take a mile. Roe vs. Wade specifically states that it’s a private family matter, where the couple, along with the physician, decides what’s best for the unborn. Karen Weddington warned that abortionists WOULD NEVER accept that. She’s right. Now regardless in what field your doctorate is in and regardless of your religious or personal convictions, if a woman demands an abortion, you must drop everything you’re doing and perform the operation.

In the Clarence Thomas Senate Judiciary Hearings, it was said that he knew that the Civil Rights Act was unconstitutional, but that he used it to his advantage. Cursed be the man that uses anything beside gentle persuasion to get what he wants.

Time won’t allow me to deal with screwed up relationships except to say that, I Love Raymond, is a prime example of five adults constantly struggling for mastery and the upheaval in the roles of their relationships.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT’S THE QUESTION, EH?

What am I? Who am I? Where did I come from? What’s my purpose for being here? Where am I headed? Is there or is there not someone in charge? If so, what does He have to say about this? The answers to all these must be answer, else you’ll remain a fish outta the water or a chicken with your head cut off.

Now, if contrary to our Constitution and/or human nature, a law creates Hell on earth for all. Here, the law legalizes a debauched lifestyle and designed, also, to destroy all opposition. But forcing society, via the law, to construe all gender specific terms in reference to marriage and family as neutral?

Is that possible! No, no more than girl or boy or man or woman can be. But then rather than changing gender specific terms, why not call those who cross the border a butch, a sissy, or effeminate wimp as the case maybe?

Dan Rather said that America was a peaceful society until Kennedy was shot and then we realised this was a violent nation. True or false? A lone sniper alterd the course of a nation?

But where has our domestic tranquility and innocence gone? Before prohibition, high school students never tasted alcohol, but then every boy had a flask of moonshine and passing it around at graduation. And how many of them went to their graves still drunk?

What tranquility did Brown vs. Board of Education produce? The Civil Rights Act and Affirmative Action? Roe vs. Wade? And how about the hell storm released upon society by legalizing sodomy?

I close with this thought: If this law passes, what will be the results? Gross ignorance and suspicion will prevail as it did during the dark ages. Also, it will pull outta the woodworks and promote to high office those with severe identity and social problems to rule over dignified gentlemen and virtuous ladies. Not a pretty picture, eh? I pray to God we don’t go there.

To all who’ve read this far, have a good day. See you next week, Lord willing.

I am LaCreseGreen@cs.com in Seattle, WA.

Regarding Seattle Public School Board matters.

A man is only as good as his word.

And if you can‘t depend on his word,

what then?

Recently, a police lied and then made excuses. His boss said that his firing would likely stand since "our word is the most important thing we have."

Yes, there’s nothing sorrier than a liar and if he’ll lie to you, he’ll also steal from you; and if he’ll steal, he’ll hurt you. You never let a dog walk up behind you, else he’ll bite you. Can lying lead to such? You bet, for Jesus Christ said that a thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

But then, the thief believes all are of his profession, eh? A deputy sheriff said, "I’ve worked in this business long enough to know that every man has his price." Do wrong for money? I gasped, "That‘s horrible!" My dad replied, "That might be so, but, Henry Louis (his cousin), YOU KNOW BETTER." He sighed in agreement. Both men striving for holiness as members of the Church of God? And after swearing to uphold the Constitution, a deputy looking at others with suspicion wondering what price would bring them down? How dare him? What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

In a fancy restaurant with a socialite, the man asked, "Would you sleep with a man for a million dollars?" She replied, "I might." "Would you for ten?" Aghast, "What do you think I am?" He replied, "That point has already been established, we‘re just trying to set the price." Behold, the illusion of virtue and purity that the woman held of herself that vanished how long ago?

In Butterfield 8, Elizabeth Taylor played a call girl, but kept up a front with her mama back home in saying she was a secretary. It held as long as the exchange was money, but when she received a mink coat; her world crumbled and it was over as she spun out into space off the end of an overpass under construction at 120 miles per hour.

Isn’t it time we reconciled the illusions we have of ourselves and of others with the facts of life? It still remains, a man is only as good as his word and what does God say about it?

Ecclesiastes 5
4When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it;
for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5Better is it that thou shouldest not vow,
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin;
neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error:
wherefore should God be angry at thy voice,
and destroy the work of thine hands?
7For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities:
but fear thou God.

Mike DeBell served on the board for two years with five unmarried women and one married. Since we’re only as strong as our weakest link and the bible says a woman menstruating is sick; thus, a sick team with six incapacitated, eh?

Furthermore, the marks of abuse or sexual activity as teenagers was upon some and of bucking nature upon others. Miserable wrecks projecting their misery upon all involved, eh? And I’ve yet to see a promiscuous teenager that allowed her children, especially, her daughters to rise above it. And if a teacher, the same holds true for her students.

But what about the boy? A catholic priest in 1929 wrote that if a child was not taught NOT TO PLAY WITH HIMSELF by the time he was 3 to 5 years old, he’d always have trouble with his identity and seldom if ever be able to make lasting relationships, especially, with the opposite sex.

And how many struggle over relationships as badly as pulling petals off the daisy: He loves me, he loves me not, yes, no, maybe so, certainly? The sitcom, I Love Raymond, a prime example of fickle relationships with five adults striving for mastery or stardom with an infantile mentality that never gets beyond me, myself, and I!

Signs of abuse include withdrawal from social contacts. As an adult, it may surface as greed against those with a social life or violence against military recruitment and then an attack on such things as carbonated beverages, etc.

Now, Mike DeBell, as an adult, was responsible for knowing the nature of the beast and should’ve opposed these things. But his greatest crime was lying to students. Takes a sorry man to lie, but to students? That’s inexcusable and unpardonable in my opinion. Jesus said to offend a little one that trusted in him, it would be better to be hung upside down in the ocean.

You see, proceeds from the pop and candy machines went to the students for their extra-curricular activities. At one school, they then put bottled water for 35 cents into the machine with a five gallon jug and a cup sitting beside it for free.

When Franklin HS reported to the committee that their funds dropped $108K that year and that students took and spent more than that across the street at Starbucks; Mike DeBell did not keep his promise that the district would make up any loss in their funds. Instead, he made excuses of financial woes and said it was up to them to raise the funds somehow.

A source of student funds had been negotiating with the publisher of their yearbooks. Instead, the board signed a $500K contract with some publisher to do the whole district. A cookie-cutter proposition, eh?

A source of their financial woes was the board tripling the salary of the new Sup to $175K, plus amenities, who wasn’t worth a meal ticket. To whom does Mr. DeBell owe allegiance? Let him not forget who brought him to the dance, eh? Since an outsider, she don’t care about any of us and too sorry and too lazy to do her job, while dangling the carrot she‘ll have some plan in place in five years and the beat goes on. But don‘t say anything because the board is highly impressed.

Another source of their financial woes was stealing $1.5 million from the District’s operation levy funds just to fight the recall of five board members. If they’d only been reasonable, they would’ve avoided the embarrassment and expense. And if justice had been served, all seven should‘ve been sent to prison for their crimes.

Another source was spending $50K to appeal a case to the Supreme Court to defend what all knew was unconstitutional. ($50K vs. $1.5 million for local case? What disparity, eh?) Justices Roberts and Thomas against, Kennedy on the fence, and Scalio for busing; but all four said that the SPSD made claims they never proved. In other words, even if Parents Involved had gone fishing, the District lost their case, eh?

At the news briefing, Gary Ikeda, legal counsel; Sup. Manhas, an Indian, and President of the board, Cheryl Chow, were as the Hispanic and Asian head of the Justice Department under George Bush, where racism never affected them and so no concern of theirs. But our leaders would look for loopholes in Justice Kennedy’s brief to continue busing. Unwilling to submit to the law, but when in their favor had shoved it down our throats, eh?

In other words, $2.05 million down the tube, eh? Yet, just the manner in which the board squandered money and misappropriated funds.

Why didn’t DeBell keep his word? Since isolating himself, no use for socializing and will cut it off in anyway he can. And then a liar don’t care if it’s to kids or not, eh?

Behold, the poverty stricken state of affairs. At this time, Franklin has only a Glee Club financed by the Kiwanis, a Mock Trial Team in trouble financially, and a dance group as the only social activity except for sports, the band, and cheerleaders; which students haft to pay to participate in. Can you believe?

Don’t forget: A man is only as good as his word and there’s nothing sorrier than a liar. Here’s something to help you keep your cool.

Ecclesiastes 5::
8IF THOU SEEST THE OPPRESSION OF THE POOR,
AND VIOLENT PERVERTING OF JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE IN A PROVINCE,
MARVEL NOT AT THE MATTER:
FOR HE THAT IS HIGHER THAN THE HIGHEST REGARDETH;
AND THERE BE ONE HIGHER THAN THEM ALL.

With the board, it’s been one long, continuous train of violence and perversion beginning with that mercenary, militant, John Stanford. And as long as his name is over the door, NONE THEREIN WILL RISE ABOVE HIM.

(I’ve said that Mike DeBell is a Jekyl and Hyde. How so? If he ran his business as he does the board, none would list their house with him nor buy from him. Why not? Can you imagine a looney starring into space with his mind elsewhere while trying to transact business? Just a repeat of Stanford‘s way of doing things!)

Can Stanford be to blame? You bet. How can I be so sure? A house is only as good as the man that heads it. So if absent, all therein are chickens with their heads cut off, eh? Jesus said that the servant is not greater than his lord, the student above his teacher, nor a wife above her husband and since sex is consummation of marriage, that means her first sex partner is her husband, eh?

Furthermore, as long as the words of one with Stanford’s nature, MLK, JR. is used for a mission statement, the glass ceiling over the heads of all students will remain locked in place by the iron clad fist of the board and administration.

Mr. King’s speech, "I have a Dream" was beguiling and as perverted as the serpent’s message to Eve and attacked the white man as bad as the serpent attacked God. Yet, we’re "Delivering" on that dream? Dream on Dreamer!

Why does such continue? Because of the tremendous oppression used against all who oppose it. Why does Hitler and his ilk come to mind? Yet, it’s assuring to know that God Almighty is still in control and has His eye on the matter. Yes, He keeps the record straight and shall reward accordingly.

Time to close. To all who’ve read this far, have a good day.
