Dear TBC,

It may have been a poor choice of phrasing on my part
and not meant the way you perceived it.

What I meant by the word "respect," was:

It means not dissing people because they're different
to you. It means not dumping on anyone. Valuing each
other's point of view and being open to being wrong.
Basically accepting people as they are et cetera.
Google the "Urban Dictionary" - to get an even better
idea.

when we can get a husband or wife to keep a wedding vowel we might be getting somewhere. Just happens David f that there is no chosen race as such today but certainly a fallen race. Only someone totally blinded could ignore the fact that we all have fallen natures including you and me. Before thatfallen nature is dealt with you can only dream that everyone else won't be like you or me.

Dear runner,

To say we are fallen means to accept your mythology that we once were in a non-fallen state. Many people uncluding me don't accept your mythology and believe we have simply developed to be what we are.

I accept that you believe in your mythology, but I think it is nothing but mythology. However, I wish to live in peace with you and others who accept your mythology. I hope you wish to live in peace with us and accept the fact we don't believe what you believe.

Runner mate you remind me constantly that for some Christianity is a shield to hide bigotry.
At an awful fire/flood/ death event/those neighbors become one, London Blitz what ever we change at such times.
I think that change too is in our DNA just as our protectionism self survival instinct is.
Harness that, bottle it and maybe we can be one I have my doubts.

Now runner, while I respect and honour your views, I am intrigued about these wedding vowels you mention.

I do recall my wedding, and did have a bit to jrink afterwards, but do not recall any wedding vowels.

Are they different to the run-of-the-mill vowels, the old AEIOU variety?

Or, perhaps they are part of an old style tribal wedding, when the wedding 'voles' were killed and eaten by the bride?

I can understand how 'vole' can become 'vowel' but was unaware that voles are/were connected to weddings, until now of course.

Dear Blue Cross,

The wedding vowel is not AEIO or U. It is the divine Y.
