Subject: MM: newbie

peer pressure has caused me to join this mailing list, but i have to confess
that i've heard only a three song snip-it of <what list am i on? (kidding)>
patty in the car on a way to a concert once. i've never seen her live, i don't
have a c.d., nothing. Mike assured me that she's not coming to concert in
Kansas anytime soon <not his exact wording> but i'll be lurking around keeping
ya'all in line :-)

Every once in a while I check Majordomo to see how many people are on certain
lists, and how many of them I know.  Here's the current ( as of 11:30 AM this
morning ) list of subscribers. The list is chronological according to when you
joined, so the person at the top of the list joined first and the person at
the bottom joined last.  I don't think this list is 100% accurate, because
there was a post from Duff this morning and she's not on the list, so either
she left already or majordomo's list isn't updated.  Anyway, here you go... 

PS- I wanna say hi to all my fellow EDA's :)  Hi Mike, Tom #2, Ali, SilverKat
( are you still an EDA ? ), Tom # 3, Steph, Dan, Dennis, Erica, Larry, Gerard,
Ted, Liz, Tim ( my son ! ), Tammy, Bill, Alan, Lauren, and Akira ! Hi to
everybody i missed, too :)

My fellow Mad-Missionaries-
I know I never write anything on this list, but i've decided to now...so here
it goes.
I believe that Patty means that we spend too much time trying to interpret
life and that maybe we should focus on the "living" part rather than the
interpretation of it.  If we spend all of our days worrying why we are here,
why we are the way we are, or any of those other questions then what kind of
life is that?  What are we really in pursuit of?  It doesn't matter in the
gigantic scheme of things, does it?  There are so many unknowns that the
comtemplations on the usage of one word in one song seems rather menial.  I
don't really know....just a thought/opinion. 
~Liz  
PS maybe when we stop all the "*thinking*" about things/words we'll find the
answers, if there are any.

<<<<RE: Moses - The use of the word "queer" etc............
                   You're *thinking* way too much.  Cut it out. :-)
                   Thanks for listening.
                    Peace  Love
                     Patty Griffin>>

I've just joined this group, but I'm guessing someone took offense at
Griffin's use of the word "queer" as perhaps derogatory towards gays. (?)
Where I come from (Los Angeles) the word had definitely insulting
connotations, like but not as powerful as the word "fag."  BUT, I'm now at
school in Philadelphia and the word "queer" is apparently what the gay
community uses to describe themselves--the first time I heard it used I was
taken aback.  For example, the group at my school is SQU--Swarthmore Queer
Union.  At least as far as self examination has shown me so far, I am not
gay, so I suppose I can't say first hand what the "gay view" (if there is
such a thing) of the word is.  
All that said, I think I thought about it too much.

Cliche as it is, "live in the now" is key."  But the unexamined life is
still not worth living.  My opinion: happiness lies in the balance.

thank you,
schwa
