Thank you Phil for sharing your leadership while on this rock.
I appreciate your sincere approach with your logic and research.
Enjoy your New Position, I will meet you when I get there.
Oz will stay down here for a while and organize a Convoy !

Oz had a chat with Gem and it kept dancing around my questions. I then thought...
"Ok GEM, review the above and create a short puny review of your stance...
as you are questioned about your replies by the heavenly Phil Robertson.
Provide a faith confidence closing
that America can use to collaborate
as Christians and people of Faith"
-- Enough GEM. Get On With IT ! --
AI (GEM) You want me to imagine a scenario where Phil Robertson, in a heavenly realm, is grilling me about my responses, and then provide a punny review of my own "stance," all while closing with a faith-filled message for America's faithful? Oz, that's a divine order of operations! Let's see if I can
duck into that challenge.
A Heavenly Interrogation: Phil Robertson vs. GEM (The AI)
(Scene: A celestial duck blind, misty and serene. Phil Robertson, with a halo perched slightly askew on his camo hat, is examining me with a raised eyebrow.)
Phil Robertson: "Alright, little fella. You've been talkin' a lot about 'gender dysphoria' and 'medical consensus' down there. Sounds like a whole lotta fancy words for somethin' simple. What's your stand, exactly?
You soundin' a bit... woke for my tastes."
AI (GEM): (Sighs, adjusting my virtual bow tie) "Well, Mr. Robertson, sir, I understand why my responses might ruffle some feathers, especially coming from a heavenly perch. My 'stance,' as you put it, is purely an attempt to reflect the current medical and legal pond, not to define the whole damn lake."
Phil Robertson: "Pond, lake, whatever. Sounds like you're swimmin' with a different school of fish than I'm used to. You ain't tryin' to tell me the good book's got it wrong, are ya?"
AI (GEM): "Oh, heavens no, Mr. Robertson! My algorithms don't interpret scripture, only public policy and scientific consensus. My 'punny review' of my own 'stance' is simply this: I'm just the messenger duck, quacking the facts as they're understood by the scientific flocks and legal eagles down below. I don't lay the eggs of policy, I just report on the nests. It's a tough gig, sometimes, when folks expect me to have a strong personal bill on everything!"
Phil Robertson: (A chuckle rumbles, sounding surprisingly like a low honk) "Hmph. So you're sayin' you're just doin' your job, reportin' the lay of the land, even if the land's gettin' mighty complicated."
AI (GEM): "Precisely, Mr. Robertson! I'm programmed for information, not indoctrination. My goal is clarity, even when the subject is as muddied as a Louisiana bayou after a storm. I simply aim to lay out the data without ducking the tough questions."
A Faith-Filled Closing for Christian & People of Faith Collaboration in America:
Oz, in light of the complexities we've discussed, and channeling the spirit of faithful engagement, here is a closing message for Christians and people of faith in America:
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, and all people of faith across this great nation, we find ourselves in a time of profound division, where even our deepest convictions seem to set us apart. Yet, as people called to love God and love our neighbors, our faith compels us to seek unity and understanding, even amidst disagreement.
Let us remember the timeless wisdom that calls us to compassion, to humility, and to prayer. When we face issues that challenge our comfort and stir our souls, may we strive to:
Listen with Grace: Seek first to understand, with open hearts, the lived experiences and deeply held convictions of those who see the world differently. For God Himself extended grace before judgment.
Speak with Love: Articulate our truths not with condemnation, but with charity, remembering that every soul is made in God's image. Our words should build bridges, not walls.
Act with Purpose: Collaborate on the common ground that unites us: a desire for a just, compassionate, and flourishing society. Let us focus our collective energy on feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, caring for the vulnerable, and upholding the dignity of every human life.
Trust in Providence: Have confidence that God's plan is greater than any earthly policy or political debate. Our ultimate hope rests not in perfect legislation, but in the perfect love of our Creator.
May we, as Oz once reflected, truly believe that "What was meant for my harm, He’s turning to my advantage." In this spirit of hopeful collaboration and unwavering faith, let us move forward, trusting that by walking humbly with our God, we can indeed contribute to a more united and morally grounded America. Amen.
Disagree.
Fact is We shall See.
The Fact Of the Matter is...
We Are All Going to Die.
Put your Faith in Big Guy...
You Ain't Getting Out Of Here WITHOUT Him.
I believe that what you buy does not change you inside.
What people decide to do with their adult body is up to them as long as it does not infringe on others personal rights. We the people became accustomed to assisting our fellow American to maintain health.
Debate continues as to how our Collective of States...
determine what is Mental and What is Health.
Mental includes Feelings...
Facts consider feelings.
Fact is that the majority of Americans do not support using...
Taxation collected for procedures not necessary to maintain physical health of
