Interviewed Couples
January 2000, I interviewed couples for a few weeks while computer programing online radio stations on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee. The newspaper stands in town had more weekly and monthly daily newspapers for meeting couples in the area and surrounding states than the liberal city of San Francisco, California. San Francisco’s competition narrowed the monthly newspaper to two copies after investors bought the other magazines out of business. Tennessee had up to 18 newspapers fro swingers with titles across the top that printed Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and sometimes narrowed to towns in the capital cities like Atlanta, Memphis, and Louisville. It was shocking because the states are heavily influenced by the church. Not just the prominent South Baptist Church, but many Conservative congregations that San Francisco ministers would consider hardcore if not down right dangerous with violent threats to what Jesus Christ really intended to teach in his sermons on the mount. I have been to Jerusalem too. Christians could learn a lot about themselves by visiting Israel. I am sure Senator John Ensign has been there on assignment. Maybe Harry Reid has lectured there. You can’t judge somebody until you have stepped into their shoes. That is why I am puzzled by John Ensign. I think I write about him to understand the politics in Nevada. Not simply Las Vegas. The State of Nevada is a complicated place to live. Politics, money, greed, and values associated with all religions, especially John Ensign’s Christians, are complex. I write John Ensign’s Christians, because Christian voters supporting Ensign at ministries in Nevada are shocked by John Ensign’s involvement with religious organizations namely C Street in boarding house for Washington insiders involved with mixing church law and state rule inside the capital of D.C. Writing helps the scribbler understand who he is, where he has been, and where is seems to be headed. Halloween I met John Ensign.
