Deep Thoughts: Praying about tomorrow

Praying about tomorrow

Image by mojoey via Flickr

I am a magnet for Christians (at least it feels that way). Today, I was approached by a women in a gas station Mini Market out in Ventura County. She was wearing a "Vote for Prop 8" yellow sweatshirt. She asked me if I was praying about tomorrow. I told her no. She persisted with a request to vote for Prop 8. I again said no. She gave me this big toothy smile and said, "God has a plan for America." I could tell she wanted to talk, but I was in no mood for her empty headed banter. I walked toward the door. As I stepped through the door, I spoke over my shoulder, "I'm betting you will be real disappointed in God's plan by tomorrow night. You might want to start working on your rationalization."

I sure hope I'm right.

On another note: I found my picture used without credit on this article.

The theft of your image is one of the main reasons I don't use Flickr.

It sure pissed me off. And... It has happened a few times before.

I can't imagine it is too difficult to give someone credit for their picture, but, I don't have the slightest idea how to do it. Perhaps others don't either. Furthermore, Flickr photos are so easily available that they may have no idea that they are even supposed to do so. Maybe it's a matter of education.
