I am becoming more and more concerned at the power these christians are wielding, I have unearthed my ancient copy of The Handmaids Tale and it is so close to what is occuring now. Sure wish Hollywood would do a good re-make of this, and get it out there. Most folks in America think fundamental Christians are fringe dwellers and will settle down in time. I'm not so sure of that.

Oh and, thank you, but no... I appreciate your immediate thoughts of ways to deal with them. But no, I've got that figured out already.

But I'd like to hear what ya'll have to say on the subject of neighbors. There have got to be a few really good stories. Apartment dwellers? Suburban, or city neighborhoods?
