The vetans will roost in your eye sockets until the end of time if you select the wrong path. - could work - there are precedents here for fearmongering.<BR/><BR/>A prenuptial assessment of frequency compatibility - $1000?<BR/><BR/>Franchise opportunities?<BR/><BR/>could be possible - might even get venture capital to fund it.<BR/><BR/>----<BR/>we'd have to fit in a new diamond between religious and agnostic to capture prospective clients, er adherents. <BR/>-----<BR/>What to call it?<BR/><BR/>Plinydom? no too close to the truth<BR/><BR/>The purpose driven blight? no<BR/><BR/>Chartism? No could be related to music industry<BR/><BR/>pboyism? Naw - the media would have a field day with it being for the birds<BR/><BR/>algorithmism - nope too many people would think it was about global warming<BR/><BR/>spectralism - possible. Lots of good marketing potential there. Light/ enlightenment - most people don't know the difference anyway.<BR/><BR/>Tweenism - hmmm. Have to noodle on that one a bit more.<BR/><BR/><BR/>--------<BR/><BR/>Good looking spokesperson. Well Mrs. Pliny certainly fits but her strong moral character probably will take her out of the running.<BR/>------<BR/><BR/>naw, it's not my cup of tea anyway. I'll just be content to leave it as is. Who knows, maybe someday someone will get hit by lightening (many of my friends are already aghast that this fate has not yet befallen old Pliny) and co-opt the chart.Pliny-the-in-Betweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580900408227953736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746564418600302090.post-85817702362025153572009-04-11T10:38:00.000-07:002009-04-11T10:38:00.000-07:00Yea!

It should have been held for revelation in the inner circle, which is achieved after much questing and the transfer of all wealth into your hands.<BR/><BR/>A most profitable new non-religious religion. Wealth and power could have been yours.<BR/><BR/>Well, it still can. If Scientology can make it, so can you! Find a pretty front man (and his faithful but seductive wife) and you are in!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I can't wait to watch your progress! Perhaps you will become the new darling of Fox!

Bliss requires at least some sense of irony ;)<BR/><BR/>Stacy - bliss is only one path, for example the amystic can be blissful or use science, while the religious may use scare texts, science, bliss, or mysticism - you don't always have to be blissful. it's all very scientific!Pliny-the-in-Betweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580900408227953736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746564418600302090.post-79829172068363470742009-04-10T20:21:00.000-07:002009-04-10T20:21:00.000-07:00I agree with Seeker here Pliny.

SHOCKED AND APPALLED. <BR/><BR/>Is it because their particular brand of "blissful ignorance" is too punctuated by rage and rigid desire to adhere to impossible standards respectively to be considered "blissful"? Because, in that case, this post should have used less CAPS LOCK.Asylum Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500952310972756918noreply@blogger.com
