  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It's 3am. I told my daughter to bring my car home over 2-1/2 hours ago (she's borrowing mine because hers is broken down) - I have a LOT to do tomorrow, and I spent half an hour tonight fighting a possum that refused to leave the chicken coop after attacking one of my chickens. I was armed with an aluminum pole (which is not an effective weapon!) and a flashlight, and trying to keep the dog (puppy) out of the fray.

I could use the tavern to be open. :p

At least the chickens all survived - I think the attacked one will be ok. And I don't have to worry about the puppy since he had no contact with the possum (which hopefully does not have rabies!) - darn thing sure has a mouthful of sharp teeth though! And it was either too stupid or too stubborn to try to get away from me.

Actually on the farm, a possum was about the mildest form of predator we had. Barely worth a thought.

But then again, I could use a shotgun there.

Just a little 20 gauge would do fine for the random vermin. That possum will be back looking for a "free" meal - better set a live trap...
