Talk to him about his moods and find out if it is a matter of needing to decompress. We all have times when we need to be alone in a quiet place simply to unravel a bit sometimes.

Therapy would probably be a good idea, as would getting him tested for diabetes. Even mild diabetics can suffer mood swings.

This is of course, if you want to stick with him.

Now the kids:

The excercise is probably a good idea, but try to get them to talk a bit softer. If they are talking loudly enough to bother their teachers they are talking overly loud. Point out to them that you can hear perfectly fine and you would like to keep it that way, they should get the point eventually.

It seriously doesn't. While I think his ideas on the universe are stupid, they don't make much of a difference to his equally stupid ideas on illegal immigration, torture, foreign wars, the seperation of church and state and the economy.

He could be an atheist and I would still oppose him based on his policies.

Most Christians wear little crucifix's (An instrument of causing a particularly gruesome death) around their necks.

Plus they go to church an engage in a ritual which is meant to represent eating perfect human flesh and drinking perfect human blood.

Creepy is as creepy does I suppose.

God, as I am using it when it isn't capitalised refers to gods as a whole, as opposed to God, which refers specifically to the Judao-Islamic-Christian god. We do not speak, after all, of the Greek Gods, we speak of the Greek gods.

Three just off the top of my head.

It's alright Ma (I'm only bleeding.)

It's all over now baby blue.

Masters of war.

As to Country Joe? Tge Vietnam Song.

Well come on all of you big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again,

he got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonder in Vietnam,

put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gunna have a whole lotta fun.

CHORUS

and its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for?

don't ask me i don't give a dam, the next stop is Vietnam,

and its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates. Well there aint no time to wonder why...WHOPEE we're all gunna die.

now come on wall street don't be slow, why man this's war a-go-go,

there's plenty good money to be made, supplyin' the army with the tools of the trade,

just hope and pray that when they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Vietcong.

CHORUS

now come on generals lets move fast, your big chance is here at last.

nite you go out and get those reds cuz the only good commie is one thats dead,

you know that peace can only be won, when you blow em all to kingdom come.

CHORUS

(spoken)- listen people i dont know you expect to ever stop the war if you cant sing any better than that... theres about 300,000 of you fuc|ers out there.. i want you to start singing..

CHORUS

now come on mothers throughout the land, pack your boys off to vietnam,

come on fathers don't hesitate, send your sons off before its too late,

be the first one on your block, to have your boy come home in a box

CHORUS

Alrite !!!!!!!

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.

But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,

Crying like a fire in the sun.

Look out the saints are comin' through

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.

Take what you have gathered from coincidence.

The empty-handed painter from your streets

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.

This sky, too, is folding under you

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.

All your reindeer armies, are all going home.

The lover who just walked out your door

Has taken all his blankets from the floor.

The carpet, too, is moving under you

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.

The vagabond who's rapping at your door

Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.

Strike another match, go start anew

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

And you are telling me you don't see the Vietnam reference!?!?
