I will be offline for a few weeks and I will miss my FS family. Keep busting the chops of our elected officials if you see a bad bill on the horizon.  I'll be back.....just need to adjust to my new environment and will have my computer back when my apartment is ready September 1st.  Will try to pop on over the weekends- but this new job will require a great deal of research in my spare time. My boss is brilliant and he is an amazing scientist. I look forward to my apprenticeship with this brilliant man, my new boss and "science sensai". Prayers and blessings to all of you for your continued support. I love you guys....take care of each other and try not to rip each others throats out while I'm gone!

However, I feel that Christians who do not believe in the just-war doctrine have no right to call themselves Christians.   I am a small government Republican. Though I am a registered Republican, partisanship is killing us. I believe that intellectuals and all rationally minded people can always come to an agreement. I will always choose a conservative Democrat over a liberal Republican. I believe that both parties are equally responsible for the destruction of our nation and our values.   I believe that the so called "War on Terror" should never have been started. I believe it is unwise to provoke Iran. I am a believer in Civil Liberties. Civil Liberties are given by the Divine Creator and extends even to non-citizens. I believe that information about Guantanamo Bay should be released to the public.   I believe that the War on Drugs should be ended. Delegating parental responsibility to the State has caused more harm than necessary. This domestic war also funds the insurgency groups that harm our courageous soldiers.   I am unafraid of terrorists.  ...

And I heard that CCF is actually not quite a Christ-oriented org. It's mission is more for the well being of the children but not for the them to know God. I wonder if I should keep my sponsorship, or cut it out to put my sponsorship money to somewhere else, like World Vision. The main reason I don't want to cut it is, regardless the org is Christ centered or not, that kid still needed help. I checked out this document from ministrywatch.com, and this gives me the alert. http://www.ministrywatch.com/mw2.1/pd... Anyone got any idea or suggestion?

But they did not loose $500.000 of there money any one got an idea other than me taking up arms on the Brazilians I received my visa (#A 1416275) to Brazil in Trinidad, on October 6, 2002. I entered the country through the Port of Cabedelo, in the northeastern state of Para??ba, in my boat, the Roamdeep. On March 3, 2003, while the crew was going to Prague to renew their visas, the Roamdeep was boarded and robbed by three persons, Daniel Williams, Rafael Williams and a person known to me as White Cat. They took an estimated US$ 10,000 worth of equipment from the boat. The next day I went to the police chief in Cabedelo, Dr. Alberto do Ezito de Sousa. I reported to him what had happened. I was told by him in front of two witnesses that I would ...

I have to write a paper on Plato's Cave and will need your input if you are well versed with regard to Socrates and Plato's discussions on the "perfect" society", the simile of the sun and of course the divided line theory- and tie it all in with Plato's cave. My first thought was how advanced Socrates and Plato were with their thought processes. They did not allow themselves to be entrenched in dogma of the physical world based on "beliefs" and "illusions". The bulk of society if compared to today.....live in the Cave....they are afraid to face the truth which is often times painful. Metaphysical thinking is associated with the Theory of Forms.....some of the brightest and the best engaged in Metaphysical thinking to expand their knowledge....Descartes and his explanation of Mathematics (2500 years BEFORE Socrates).....Galileo who dispelled the theory that EVERYTHING revolves around the earth.....Galileo knew it was the sun.....and as with others before and after him......was mocked for his theory and some like Socrates- actually put to death. Is it possible to establish a "perfect" society if so many of your citizens are "living in the cave".....afraid to see the ...

When I turned on my road ( a narrow 1 lane two way road) he turned on his siren and lights , I thought he had a emergancy so I was going as fast as I could to get out of his way ( they have a loudspeaker but he never used it)he was moving far to fast and to close for me to pull over and a narrow road like I was on safely, when I turned into my driveway he tried to ram me broadside , it scared the heck out of me and I went on my own property up thru the woods ,still didn't think he was after me. My girlfriend came out to see what was going on and adkins said "did you see a whiteman with a fro on a 4 wheeler come thru here?" she said no and then he got in her face ,terrorizing her a threating her so bad she went ...
