A non-religious, non-profit organization with voluntary
enrollment could fill a gap between churches and
governments
to serve certain needs in a person's life. It would push a
person's sociological "in group" buttons. It might be useful
for
shopping for group-rate insurance or serving as
a big
friendship circle. I had this idea as an extension of
wondering
whether anybody has thought about fully privatized,
subscription-based expressways through town (calling it
private property to avoid falling under speed limit laws).

Secular Humanist comgregations exist for exactly this
purpose. For that matter, pretty much every membership
based civic/charitable organization (lions, elks, masons, my
parents gourmet group) meets this criteria. |

You don't really say what your idea is, but if I've understood what you're saying this seems to be answered by any sort of club or society. |
|
| |
Maybe it's some sort of comment on the invasiveness of religion and government in everyday life. |
|
| |
Sort of like lots of people coming up with ideas, with a slim chance of getting a bun> That sort of thing?? |
|
| |
Sorry, [ktn], but [marked-for-deletion], widely-known-to-exist, not original. |
|
| |
Yes, m-f-d, but check out ktn's Chipmunk Phone Automation. +23 buns. |

[squeak], you need to get out more and meet people (that is, if you can find a way of stopping them running away and screaming). |
|
| |
And when someone tells you to "get a life", DON'T go and google for it ...that means you've kind of missed the point. |
|

Apparently, somewhere there are things called "girls". Let us know if you find out any more on this subject. |
|
| |
I've got one. She's awesome. |
|
| |
"You lucky bastard ... you lucky, lucky, lucky bastard ..." |

I'm happily married in case you were wondering, The
recent blast of ideas was a result of me going
through an old notebook. I wanted to bring a
notebook to a training class for work, and I found in
a pinch that I had one that was mostly empty. I
copied the most interesting ones to HB before
tearing out the pages. |
|
| |
Did you then eat the pages? |
|
| |
(squeaketh), it's +24 now. I left a witty anno a couple of years ago but had never voted. |
|
| |
I've got one also, married her last week, she's awesome as well ;-) |
|
| |
Congrats, my friend! We celebrated our eighth anniversary
yesterday. It's not nearly as hard as everyone makes it out
to be. |
|
| |
We'd better scram before [bigsleep] comes in here and
catches us being sociable. |
