Debating on the Internet Two victim cards, neither of which worked. The Dove campaign on beauty has something really interesting here.

A Little Bit Thin
Posting might be a little bit thin for a few days. We just finished our ministerial conference in Moscow yesterday, and are now in Bellevue for the 2006 meeting of Anselm Presbytery.
