Now that the component countries have separated so aggressively I wonder how they ever existed as a single nation. Do YOU understand their politics and racial hatred?

YET on its beaches have been found pieces of zircon dating back 2-3 billion years. Undoubtedly swept up by currents from the lost continent below. 2-3 billion years? 8 million years? How do you grasp/process that amount of time? Would you like to be a geologist and discover such amazing things? Or an archaeologist? Why?

"The doors of the world were closed to us" she said. Yet Kushner apparently ignores what his own family suffered and supports his father-in-law in banning refugees from Syria from coming to America. Does he have no compassion for the Syrian refugees? Refusing them sanctuary is signing a death warrant. Does he not care? Is what his grandmother Rae said in 1982 irrelevant now? How? Shame on him for not confronting his FIL (father-in-law) and telling him that such a ban is WRONG! Shame on him for not speaking out about that issue. less

In July of 1917 though his life would change forever. With the arrival and training of 102nd Infantry division. He would become well acquainted with these doughboys in training but would form a special bond with one Corporal Robert Conroy. Conroy would go as far as to sneak this lonely stray aboard the departing ship taking these men ( and dog) to their new vision of hell in the French trenches. Story has it this little dog, when found by the CO raised his paw in what seemed like a salute and won the CO over.Named Stubby, he would be thrust into the heavily battered trenches of Chemins des Damnes. He would soon prove himself to the units by running out and attacking German Grenadiers and advancing gunnery units. Sustaining some slight wounds. He was soon transported to the medical services in the back lines wh... less

Shame on The Donald and everyone who is involved with this ghastly grizzly ugly evil decision and supports it. I hope they are all haunted by the ghosts of people they could have saved but chose not to. For eternity.
