A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. The biggest fear was that there was no heaven. After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word, he made contact. As Mary lay asleep, she heard, "Mary...Mary...." "Is that you, Fred?" "Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast, I have sex again, I bathe in the sun, then I have sex twice. I have lunch, then sex pretty much all afternoon. After supper, I have sex until late at night. The next day it starts again." "Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven." "Not exactly, I'm a rabbit in Kansas."

I've been pretty good in the past few months, but I'm going to have to re-double my efforts not to shop at Walmart. It's so hard when you have very little money not to want to get the lowest price... And I wonder if there truly is any point in me making the effort when undoubtedly millions of people would continue shopping there even if the corporation was clearly shown to be responsible for horrendous evils--probably including selling children into slavery and prostitution, or who knows what else--simply because most people don't bother to care about "complicated" matters like how their consumer choices eventually affect their own lives and those of other human beings. Sometimes it feels so pointless to bother with anything... People are just so unquestioning and complacent. *sigh*
