I'm not a wise man, nor a terribly well read individual - so I may be missing the broader context. Can you give me some background on the project your working on? This is very well written. It has a very unifying sentiment that is noble.

but I am left wondering what this is for, where it fits in your world or in mine? I can't help feeling like I have missed something.

‎"I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you." [1] And the sense of saying of 99% of us have 100% in common. It's true.

Why do we need a new bell?

The other day, I lost my temper with a person who had hired me for freelance work 3 years ago and finally, after 3 years, had decided to even return my emails! I was upset :) So anyway, I told this guy settle these debts or I'll start contacting past/present clients. Today this includes, per his claims, US Army and Library of Congress. Previously SAIC and DoD and possibly the university he worked at.

Anyway, given his spooky connections, I felt it necessary to invoke God's curse on him and his issue -- I went with the God of Israel on this one; he backs up those curses of His real good -- should he resort to his network to try and cause trouble for me. Mainly, the false witness "he is a tewowist" sort of b.s. You know, back in the day, good old days, I wouldn't have to resort to the God of Israel for protection, as we had something called the Law watching my back, against unreasonable searches and seizures, false witnesses, hey, even the novel concept of a hearing in a court room, with judges and attorney for defense, and maybe even a public record of the said court hearing.

But alas, that ain't no more.

So this is why we need a New Bell. Because God is Busy and I really hate bugging him for this sort of temporal realm sort of concerns of mine. Get's him all started with "Don't you Love ME for WHO I AM?" (Oy vey ..)
