Seen Monday at La Cienaga and Manchester. I've on occasion wondered how Jesus' name became a swear. I mean, to Christians it always has been when used in vain, but how did it get to the point where people for whom JC - well I was going to say no significance, but let me rephrase - is given ne'er a thought are using it to express emotion? Can you say it on TV (I know I've heard it but that was probably cable and I think you can even see old George Carlin clips on there now)? Is there there analogous vocabulary phenomena from other religions? Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Just Wandering, er... Wondering
