Earth to Tom - wake up.  Further, I advise you

Sorry. I should know better than to imagine that you are capable of
employing empathy or insight in the service of others.

Actually, you know absolutely NOTHING
of my Christian service to people on the
ground in my local area, requiring great
empathy and insight. BECAUSE some
do not now have jobs in the current harsh
financial crisis gripping the nation. BECAUSE
some are hard-core or evangelical Christians
whose everyday language takes CONSIDERABLE
adjustment on the part of someone like me who
was a Friend for 28 years.

You are a mere
consumer of others' empathy and insight.

You figured that out from thousands of miles
away <irony>.

I have spent too much time with truly suicidal people to be as blithe
as you ask me to be about these things.

There is no blitheness in true Chinese philosophy;
it is extremely serious as I am far more than the
average person.

Look! If you don't find any enjoyment whatsoever
in our conversations, you may or can just quit.
