I wonder if super don personally were present when babies were torn from their mother's arms and children separated from their parents and placed in cages and kennels would it have made any difference? Is super don as cold, heartless and uncaring in person as he is in the abstract?

The dates wereAD 325381431451553680-681787It was at those councils that over the years certain books of the Bible were deemed BY MEN to be worthy of inclusion while some were considered to be heretical BY MEN and excluded. The NICENE CREED was developed which was the first uniform Christine Doctrine.Currently there are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. The MEN decided that those were the books that were "inspired by GOD" after centuries of reflection and discussion.The Bible did not just show up on someone's doorstep intact one day but EVOLVED over centuries. So while it may be "inspired" by GOD, MEN did the deciding of what to include and what to exclude.I wonder how many devoted Christians know that? less

Her character, especially in the ending scenes, is so FRIGHTENED - - for good reasons! I felt terrified along with her because I had come to care about her during the movie.It's a great movie to me and I find Duvall possibly the best part of it.Do you have a movie in your head in which, when the movie is mentioned you immediately think of a cast member? less

It is estimated that from 10-14 million exist currently of which 1.2 million have been documented and 86% not yet described.Really? Where do those numbers come from? How can anyone possibly know what existed billions of years ago or millions of years ago? By what scientific process is that information available? Did they all leave bits and pieces behind in billions of years old ice or captured in rocks that are billions of years old? less

That was so wondrous to me. Being able to "talk" to her so many thousands of miles away at the beginning of my day and the end of hers. It seemed magical! Now of course we have the internet which is even more magical! What's ahead for us? More magic? Any idea what it might be and when we might have it to use? less
What did Clinton in was not the act itself but lying about it. Had he just told the truth and apologized there would have been no impeachment, correct?
Do mosquitoes and ants and flies and roaches et al contribute anything we NEED? I know worms are used for bait or used to be. As these insects and bugs disappear what are we expect next?

But what's to stop Congressmen or Senators or Judges from keeping bottles of the stuff in their offices and taking a drink whenever they wish? Which makes me wonder how many pols are sober during their day at work and how many are potted like plants and their colleagues just live with it?

What was written on their yearbooks, to what clubs they belonged and if they kept calendars? We know a lot about the current proposed candidate. More to come. What other Justice's appointment were fraught with so much scandal excluding Clarence Thomas?
