    this is really unfair -

    because first there is all this foolishness about 'the messiah' and 'worship' and then you guys turn right back to a honest discussion about 'Torture' again and this makes me look like some kind of creep and I don't like it because I voted for Obama to stop Torture - and he promised me he will - and as I am also an 'issue person' and I didn't give too much thought with whom he is going to stop Torture and instead listened to all of his interviews he gave lately where he reassured me again and again - and then I come back to UT and I read that most of you gals and guys are very unhappy with him because of the people he picked to stop Torture and that he doesn't want to punish 'the evil Bush' and all the other 'evildoers' and I get really depressed - but then thanks god Sinnard comes along and it is loony time again and I am so relieved and I finally realize that Obama must be the messiah because he is willing to shoulder all these sins

    of the evildoers (and on this blog too) and suddenly I am all at peace again.
