I'm kind of anti-days things, anyway. I smoke every Great American Smokeout Day, even in years when I've quit.
So, where do you stand on "joining" things?

I've been hearing more and more "religious" people whose definition of God is virtually identical to my own. What is it, I wonder, that makes them feel compelled to join what is essentially a social club, based on these beliefs, whereas I myself emphatically state NO THANK YOU to such a proposition.

My running theory is that some people are just "joiners" ...
