Sure. Ditto on laudanum, leeches and bloodletting, dunking women to test for witchcraft...

The Higher Power bullshit is an entire ridiculous product of AA having been cooked up in the 1930s, by two lay not even doctors, based on what tattered remains of the very real, very spiritually valid Cain Ridge Revival in the 1830s yet still lived so very many decades longer still in the American spirit. And yet today! That very great Americanization of Christianity was welcome, needed, and indeed required! But AA is not. It is only and horribly a "Church" that wants to preserve and extend its power, against the face of all clinical evidence that its "principles" are a vastly, deadly, connivance against the interests of its sincere, needing, desperate supplicants. A more horrible power play -- for no benefit whatever to its "winners" -- has seldom ever been seen.

John Rechy, City of Night. Highly intelligent and literate porn, of a kind. Fascinating even in its datedness, it still lives and breathes as writing. Edmund White's early Nocturnes for the King of Naples. Far better I thought than his later, popular but awfully pedestrian novels. Every word from the pen of Hollinghurst. Even though those words rather quickly got to be the same words, repeated over and over, after his first couple of books. And the grandmother of us all, in a sense: Holleran's glorious Dancer from the Dance. All those to me manage to be high literature and magnificent porn at the same time.

THANK YOU! I've found the same results from adding psyllium powder and a daily probiotic capsule to the diet. Rapid transit! And regular and thorough. I've observed before that some of the cleanout rituals detailed hereabouts sound like the year-long Purification of the Vestals at the Temple of Artemis. http://www.ephesus.ws/assets/99671/bcjoxfli92.jpg

Lookit the grinder under that sink.

Are you agreeing, or telling me to go to hell? Forgive my genuine incomprehension.
