I've long thought of Christ (J.C.) as the man that re-set time. That's the B.C. / A.D. designation; based on him. Remarkable. We also skipped from the Julian calendar, to the Gregorian calendar. That reset the dates. And I've read that the reason we use a two times twelve standard, instead of a one times twenty four standard for the number of hours in the day, was because the religious men that rang the church bell to call out...

The very idea that all Americans are capable of carrying a concealed weapon and everyone therefore is safe, continues. Four policemen, killed in a cafe outside of Seattle, four family members shot to death during a Thanksgiving dinner in Florida, 13 soldiers murdered at Ft.Hood. This, boys and girls, is the America of today. Not one American can be certain of returning home alive from at trip to the 7-11. It is complete Lunacy. The rest of...

i guess Ga is just too large. Our licenses are issued by the Ga. Highway Patrol.

And that is a good analogy for polygamy: After all if a man can provide better for 2 or 3 children/wife than someone else can for a single one then logically he also gets that persons "turn" at reproduction. The inverse is a bit harder to work out (Woman with many man) and it might help explain the dichotomy of polygamy trough history past the simple "Men are dominant in history" thing. But then this is all...

Do you guys have rules on political broadcats on TV like we do?

I'm not sure American hotdogs qualify as a type of sausage, more like bologna in tube form imo... (Then again, that may be an insult to Bologna...)

The cost of the visit $1.7 Million almost offset the $1.4 Million prize that Obama will receive. Why don't the Nobel Committee help pay for security cost since they have a lot of money?
