The Problem of Pain

That's just a testament to the lovely american news media.  All we hear about is Tom Cruise and scientology.  But that was the impetus for the poem.  I thought, "That is certainly the most creative way to deal with the problem of pain.  A bit bonkers, but creative"  and then I thought down the line at how other religions tried their hand at it. 

Good call on the sonics, although I'm sad they will be moving to Oklahoma City. (HAHA, Google that one!)

The busline thing made me laugh, so long as you don't call it herpes because of the quality of the upkeep.  I saw enough things as a bus driver and manager that would turn your stomach.
