4. She's Dem-leaning and increasingly so.
She's the sweetest, most spiritual person I know and one hell of a human being. She does not deserve what's going on these days. :(

And spiritual as in the preciousness and nobility of the human spirit. Not spurious spirituality as displayed by disingenuous politicians and corporate leaders.

2. A different reason for each of us, or one reason for the whole species?
Like, did he create me so that my kids would have a father, or did he just create all of us because he needed a blue-green spherical object in that corner of the room, and wanted something on that sphere to keep altering the patterns? Are we just lava in the lamp?

5. I was hoping you could have clued me in.
I guess mine is to complete the new cover sheets for the TPS reports. <sigh>

7. The reason?
God is a practical joker and created homo saps to have something to mess with.

13. It's just the polite thing to say.
When someone is hurting for whatever reason and they confide in you, some people figure it's better to say "There's a reason for everything", etc., instead of saying something like "Wow--if I were you, I'd kill myself".
