Crying, Church and Chickens

At long last, after 60+yrs, I've had concerns answered as to why I'm a whiner. I know that I am because my wife affirms that every so often, and I can't talk about family history w/my mother without her telling me how much I cried as a baby. Childcare expert Penelope Leach has just published a new book that claims that distressed baby's who are repeatedly allowed to cry are at risk of developing problems later in life! There it is, I can now with confidence know that my intellectual lack of growth is no longer my fault - I can blame it on my parents for letting me cry so much. So since I'm now an officially sanctioned cry baby, that's what I'll do for a moment. Arnold Ahlert the other day wrote an article titled, 'Bashing Christians - or Gays?' And in this article he talks about a fact not often mentioned by the gay community, that peodophile priests are 'preying' on boys, not girls. I am getting pretty sick of gays [and all others that do] picking on the Catholic Church because of its covering for these priests, and on this point I agree whole-heartedly with them, that the church has covered up, but for not including in the conversation the sexual orientation of the priests, and why accuse everyone that is a CAtholic; instead lets put the whole picture into perspective?! [And I'm not even a Catholic] Well, I'll probably get some whiners to respond to my perceived insensitivity, but being a whiner myself that comes with being open about your feelings. Last, but not least I was excited to see that my favorite fast-food resturant, CHic-Fil-A is coming to Chicago. Now that's not going to affect me except that it shows the food chain is slowly moving NORTH; the article says that from 20-25 new stores in the next five years are going to be built there! Right now I have to drive two hours south to Ft.Wayne, Ind. to get a fowl-fix! This is a christian chain, and for that alone I would support them, they are closed on Sunday, they have religious themed toys in their kids meals and promote religious programs. A few months ago I forgot all about that, and driving SOUTH I went a number of miles out of my way to stop at the Chic-Fil-A; once I arrived at their closed sign, for just a few seconds I wished they would have been open. Now I'm having tears of joy just thinking about a chic-fil-a within less than an hour of where i live - that would be cool; besides its really not that much fun whining when no one knows you are!
