The fact that we are to love our neighbors does not give them (or us) a carte blanche to act with discourtesy.

The hat issue is not a big deal for me, but apparently for some people freedom to disregard social niceties is important and those who value respect for others and an ordered society are judgmental and un-Christian. That larger issue is important and I may revisit it at sometime, but not soon, because fluff is my usual domain.<BR/><BR/>I find it interesting that Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984938560695736640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17356580.post-59269420868238719172007-09-03T09:42:00.000-04:002007-09-03T09:42:00.000-04:00elepahntschild wrote:"The young lady was out with ...elepahntschild wrote:<BR/><BR/>"The young lady was out with a guy and he "keeps it casual and thinks nothing of it."
