Amazon is starting a softball league and I'd mentioned that I'm interested in playing. It has been a LONG time since I've played but at one point I enjoyed playing.... I may have even been somewhat good. Hard to judge in hindsight.
I'm currently having problems with the word equal, as in seperate but equal and legally equal and treated as equals. If you have two seperate things, can they ever truly be equal? If you have two laws that are identical but called different things, is that just semantics at that point or is there a difference? Nothing, in my experience, is equal if it isn't exactly the same thing. Can you ever truly treat someone as an equal? If I do treat someone as an equal to me, does that downplay the fact that they are different than I am and have qualities inherent to them that make them a unique individual and worthy of respect for those differences? There can be serious mistakes made by assuming that someone else is coming to the table with the same experiences, skills, feelings... anything. Hrm. Me thinks equal is the incorrect word for these things. Maybe I'm over thinking again.
Bowling tonight sounds like a good time. I like bowling.
What else... There was something else I was thinking about. I can't remember right now. Maybe it'll surface later. Have an ocelot.
