I was never allowed in until 1.pm. Prayer is good though. Its not lobbying. When you pray you let your wish known to a higher power. You feel better you've spoken your mind. Better to speak than to shot up. All decision are God's, though you've expressed your wish and acknowledged the power of the Almighty. Does he listen to us, Yes definitely. But his will is perfect. This is WISDOM. my woe started as early as 5.30pm when the cops began to arrive. I was never allowed in until 1.pm. Prayer is good though. Its not lobbying.

And I don't like it when strangers attribute emotions to me out of whole cloth. I'm not nervous about Petworth; I'm just rolling my eyes about having to deal with this shit.

She had good intentions. Then again, it was 1am when you responded so maybe you were just delirious. wow. while I think you’re 100% correct, I assume Marge was extending a note of sympathy.

That's why we have red state vs blue state, religion vs agnostic, black vs white issues - when people aren't willing to talk. I firmly believe in the power of prayer, but I also firmly believe that if God stepped in and removed all the bad in life, then how would any of us grow as humans? Remember our parents letting us make mistakes so we could learn from them? If they protected us from all bad things, what kind of adults would we be now. I feel like its similar with God - sometimes he just has to let a lot of us screw up, which sometimes leads to really bad things for other people (wars, murder, broken homes, etc). But how much would life suck if God sheltered us from all bad experiences? We wouldn't even know it if we were having a good experience. Anyway. While I don't know how to say that prayer certainly averts disasters (because would we know about them if they didn't happen) i can say that I know it has happened to me. I was driving late one night and went to turn on a road. As I started to turn, I got the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. I just knew that if I turned down that road, something bad was going to happen. So, I turned around and went another way. Will I ever know what would have happened down that road? Nope. But I'm willing to accept that in that one instant in life, I was spared from making a bad decision. Victoria – I am sorry for the ignoramuses whose only response to a question can be shut up.

I never said such a thing, nor am I. Though I can assure you -- having lived in cities on all three coasts of the U.S., as well as two years in Europe and two years elsewhere in DC -- that this type of thing most certainly does not happen everywhere. In fact, it happens in very few places, thank god. Your worldview is a warped and rather depressing one. Marge,
