was born blind

Been away for various reasons: holiday, tiredness, otherness. Reason for absence doesn't matter. Again, for me anyway. So missing a day shouldn't guilt me like it does, eh?

What to make of the annual news magazine coverage of religion during the holidays (specifically, Christianity). Make no mistake: none of these media come to the table with no viewpoint. Even if their investigations proved something, if it disagreed with their arrogance and personal bias, nothing will come of it.

Folks who read these magazines (looking at you Time and Newsweek) come with a bias anyway. So they're merely reaching out to their constituency. A wide-area boycott does nothing, realize. They only need so many to stay afloat. Fortunately, there is no threshold of constituency that makes a difference at the pearly gates.
