Sartre’s Spirit World

October 15, 2008October 15, 2008

    why is it that TBMs can’t understand the meaning/application of the concept ‘adulation’???
    Is there something in MoWater that prevents an unbiased perspective?
    Hinckley was a nice, ‘gentlemanly’ Grandpa kinda guy *if you overlook this lies/ambiguity/obfuscation of LDS, Inc*.

    Chandelle — I know how you feel. When I posted the above comment, I asked myself “How can I be saying that a spot about Hinkley’s death is hilarious?” But really it’s nothing disrespectful about Hinkley.
