Being the geek that I am, I&#8217;m sitting here thinking about the network I&#8217;ve been wandering.  Instead [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine if these were the laws to be followed:

Do not Love;
Joy is prohibited;
Peace is not allowed;
Kindness is forbidden;
Goodness is banished;
Faithfulness is to be forgotten;
Gentleness annihilated;
Self-control abolished;

So how often do we follow those, instead of the one who commanded:
love your neighbor as yourself?

They made me jealous by what [...]
