Joe replied to a comment by Ron (in complete sheeple overload) W. on Church and State: Separate for a Reason Nov 19, 2009 5:53AM EST
"Ron, You are wasting your time. Some people don't care about a historical perspective. It has become quite common to adjust the facts to fit the ideology. It's too bad that so many people fall for it. . . ." more

Dave Sandborg, Sep 22, 2009, 2:14PM EDTThanks for the compliments, Joe! I think I'm done with that thread, though. I hope what I said was helpful to whoever was reading.

George Shaw, Sep 17, 2009, 11:18PM EDT"Gracias," never sounds corny to me. I only speak one foreign language -- English, but i appreciate other languages, they enrich our soul.
Thanks also for your comments about health care. I hope the U.S. does something meaningful. -
Sam Carana, Sep 10, 2009, 9:30PM EDTNice hat, Joe, what's in it? A rabbit? :) Cheers!

Johnice R., Aug 30, 2009, 9:09AM EDTJoe, thanks so much for your friendship! I look forward to reading your articles and seeing you in the comment section.
We may not always agree but we can have respect for each other and I cherrish that. -

glenn allenson, May 25, 2009, 3:21AM EDTJust dove into your picture and I need to tell you, I LOVE your Face and that Headdress is Moonrise at High NOON Joe!!!! I'll have my face on Gather tomorrow, hopefully my Cat Balifur and my Guitar Sounds will show up also!!
Have A Sunday Kinda Monday Good Joe!!!! -
glenn allenson, May 25, 2009, 3:16AM EDTThat's REALLY intriguing, I was going to post 'I am honored to accept your offer of friendship' and when the ping box sashayed onto the screen I glanced at your last ping and Ed had read my so-called mind!!!
Joe, your presentations earlier brought me out of the foggy funque wrought by the writings of...you know, those folks whom I just can't seem to communicate with.
It is to be hoped that our efforts will change or at least have some positive impact upon those whose viewpoints are enabling and maintaining the madness that America is spreading across the local Universe.
Summed up, be sure that your expressive abilities have lit up some dark places for me. I will learn from you, and I will be there when the water runs low and the lights go out.
Yup, I'm pushing Earthquake Survival goodies, but not selling them. I'm learning how to convince the GOVERNMENT to provide these necessities and more. Starting with my little town of Brisbane, where I'm also launching my Hunza Health mambophonic jamboree.
Perhaps you could help me craft a smoother title for that one...GEES I'm BEAT!!! Those nutty Democrat-burning Fire and Brimstone fifteenth-century Inquisitors have sucked the SOUL outa my skin.
Happily, they had zero effect on the deeper-rooted parts.
I look forward to meeting the Joe behind the Joe-Mind. Say...
Let's invent something that flies and also goes UNDERWATER!!!!
Or an ear insert that makes war yahoos sound like Joni Mitchell!!
Or...or...plop[thud]zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Peace my Brothers and Sisters!!!! -
Ed Williams, May 17, 2009, 6:34AM EDTJoe, it's an honor havin' you as a new Gather friend!

Cathi L., May 8, 2009, 11:52AM EDTI'm sorry, Joe. I didn't mean to sound snarky in my reply on the bibles being sent to Afghanistan. No, I didn't like what you said and don't agree with you, but the snarky shouldn't be there. Please accept my apologies.
