DO GOOD via politics means you can affect hundreds of millions of people.So is GOD confused? Can HE not make up HIS mind? Does HE set both before us and just lets us choose which HE means more?Anyone else wonder too about this? I dare not call it HYPOCRISY on the part of GOD. But it sure seems like it. Now could it possibly be that it is not GOD who is hypocritical and contradictory but the imperfect human beings who allegedly wrote down THE WORD OF GOD? I'm just asking. I don't KNOW. Do you? less

HOWEVER it seems that highly intelligent people feel less satisfied with life when they spend a lot o time socializing."Okay. So very gregarious people oriented populars are happier than hermits?Isolation isn't probably very good for any human. Occasional interaction in controlled circumstances can be beneficial.Think all of that is true or just more balderdash gibberish and has nothing to do with anything?Where does sales pitch end and truth begin> less

Being right is often an unknown. Nowhere three does ccertainty ever plant roots.Around me many are absolutely CERTAIN about many things..some are CERTAIN about everything. How did they get there? What paths did they take that I did not?
TWO GEARS. Intellect and Emotion. Switch from one to the other so that neither is oppressed or affected by outside influences.Which gear would YOU choose? Why?
Do never walk a path not traveled by others? Do you depend on others who have gone before you to clear the path to whatever lies ahead.I dunno. T'is a puzzlement. SIGH.

If you are emotional about anything you are probably not going to be at your very best intellectually. Do I KNOW that for certain? No. I just suspect it.

CARBON is an essential element of life.To break it down further the human body is 65% oxygen 18.5% carbon 9.5% hydrogen 3.3 % nitrogen totaling 96.3 %. The rest I guess are trace minerals.Did YOU know humans are made of carbon? Without carbon life as we know it would not exist?Know what a CARBON FOOTPRINT is? The measure of impact human activities have on the amount of CARBON DIOXIDE produced. Carbon dioxide is not a good thing apparently. How do we minimize its existence if we ourselves are made of it? Confusing. I didn't know. Now that I do I have no idea what to do with that information. less

He said the angry left would riot accept it and they would go out and start rioting and there'd be fighting the likes of which America had never seen before.Point? No matter who wins the duck quacks are getting ready to wage a bloody battle.Now this was ONE man. But I wonder two things? How many members are there in American domestic terrorist organizations ? How many of them believe as that one man believes? That bloody battles will occur no matter what the outcome of the election is?? less
