I think the actual biblical statement was "judge not that you be not
judged".. slightly more explicit meaning than stated above, but pretty
close intent-wize. We don't seem to remember that what we hand out-we get
returned to us. Judgment of others returns to us by ourselves being
judged. You'd think we'd get tired of all the negative stuff we get, but
instead of handling the cause (our own stuff we put out) we expect others
to absorb it all.

If ya don't like it-quit doin it. seems pretty simple.

later...
