- Jason : Hey Sam, can you send me standard web site sizes, etc? I have someone working on an image for my resume page.
- Jason : oh, and I didn't take it as a knock
People have been doing things 'in the name of God' for centuries. If everyone turned their back on their faith each time someone in their church did something, we'd be a society of atheists.
- Jason : Yeah. See the church is usually pretty out of the picture when it comes to political decision making, and when this happened, it surprised a lot of people. There are sites devoted to it. Just like with any faith, you have to believe your gospel is true, and recognize that the people in it aren't.
- Sam : that was a compliment to your dedication, btw, not a knock
- Sam : Well that's kinda apples and oranges. I sympathize with your position, being at odds with your church. A faith that requires as much devotion as the mormon faith, I couldn't do it.
- Jason : Pretty much. It's like how the catholic church has spent over 300 million dollars in legal fees because of their sex scandals. I've never been one to agree with exemption status on taxes for anyone.
- alison : *with* add that word in for me, would ya?
- alison : I have a problem any tax exempt church that has enough money to put 20 million dollars towards political agendas. They just clearly showed the country they don't need to be tax exempt.
- Jason : Who knows what will happen. When I first found out about the announcement, my gut reaction was 'this won't end well.'
- Sam : In Chicago the protest was all through the loop, including the catholic church. These protests are bigger than either church, though I do think the LDS church should lose it's tax exempt status over this.
- Jason : I'm not saying the protest isn't warranted. I agree with the protests. I'm just saying not to put your eggs in one basket, is all.
- Sam : well when the LDS church throws $20m for prop 8 and the KoC throw $2m, I'd say the protest is in the right place
- Jason : I bet the Catholics are happy. They got out of persecution relatively scott free.
- Jason : 55 is the correct number
- alison : wooooo doggies
- alison : "Brigham Young married 52 times, I just need ONE"
- alison : Just saw an amazing Prop 8 protest sign...
- Sam : He was this crazy old guy, we talked to him for like.. 4 hours!
- Sam : That dudes was awesome!
- Jason : So you and Michael like to write in inspirational locations
- Jason : Hey Sammy. I wanna talk to you about something.
- Jason : Whatchu talkin about, Willis?! Actually, I don't mind not going and hanging out here. Char is hesitant to go.
- alison : OR - you sit this one out and let them go without you. Sucks being a grownup doesn't it?
- alison : If it's the difference between having a job or not, then you should postpone the trip. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
- Jason : Hey Sammy, I just left you a v/m
- Sam : Maybe you could slim down the trip to a few days, would they be cool with that?
- Jason : I could cancel those plans, but there's been a lot of planning into it, Morgan's birthday is two days after Christmas, so we were going to take her to Disneyland.
- alison : Anyway you could cancel your Christmas plans? Or do you have other job offers on the table?
- Jason : Ugh. They keep going back and forth because I need the week of Christmas off. It could be a deal breaker. Hey Sam, think you'll be able to take a call tomorrow?
- Jason : or... two dime bags.
- alison : two dimes says someone gets wrong lab results courtesy of Jason C
- Jason : Let's face it, the idea of Jason Randall in a lab coat scares the hell outta you. And you know, maybe you should be scared. Muahahahhaaaaaa!
- Sam : yeah I'm sure that'll work out fine
- Jason : Mostly frozen tubes of blood.
- Sam : so what hazardous materials will you be (mis)handling?
