Wow. Just wow. I go away from JU for a while and when I come back to visit I find that JU has totally changed.  Most of the bloggers from my heyday (2004-2007-ish) have gone, and some of those that remain seem to have lost their shine and allure.  It seems that the most prolific bloggers are rabid right-wing nutjobs christian conservatives who, if they had their way, would make their faith the state sanctioned one and don't have tolerance for anyone who is different. What the heck...

Blogging here just isn't fun for me anymore.  The new format seems to have turned a lot of good bloggers right off, and the only people left are computer geeks and hypochristians.  I've met some great people here, and I'll be in touch with them via email and IM.  I am not, however, going to be posting regularly - if at all - here at JU.  It's just not the same, and I don't care for it.   Goodbye.
