Going Thru Some Old Photos…

January 31, 2007

Anyone who knows me knew that something like this would be coming sooner or later. And for those who don’t know me, let me just say that Byron and I have been friends since 1975 (and I’m sure Byron has often asked himself, “WHY???”), and I’ve got all kinds of good stuff stored up, waiting to share!

So anyways, I’m working on a couple of new website projects and I had to go thru a bunch of old photos to find some specific shots to use for one of the projects. And as long as I was going thru them, and had Photoshop open, I figured I might as well share….

  • No Kool Aid Zone?

    drink the Kool-Aid - to accept an argument or philosophy blindly.

    no kool aid zoneThis phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.

    Radically Tolerant - of all people, irrespective of race, faith, circumstance. As a person, you will be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve as an individual created in the image of God.

    Radically Intolerant - of slipshod reasoning, emotion without intellectual substance, bad ideas, lazy thinking, cowardly ad hominem attacks, the preposterous notion that 9/11 is some government conspiracy (proceed directly to the Loony Bin; do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200), the designated hitter, and the Dallas Cowboys.
