I can be Hitler and say "I'm going to heaven because what I did is moral and ethical," while the other billions of people out there know that's not so at all. Hitler probably believed what he was doing was right at the time. So...if he believes it...that means it's okay? Um, there is a difference betwee
oh to be oblivious! Sometimes I wish we could send ourselve back to those days. I'm sorry you lost your friend.
It's statements like THAT (equating the resurrection with Santa Claus) that explain why I have nothing to do with the DNC, ben. And it is ironic because, in a thread where tolerance was pretty much the rule, you had to show exactly what an anti-Christian IS. You are the textbook definition of a hypocrite when you state that you b
(((charissa))) Sounds like an absolute nightmare of a day. Maybe a hug from your little one can help take the edge off.
There was still a week and a half until the women's skating starts. It's no biggie that Emily was at home... it's nto as if she'd have had to rush onto the ice to help a fallen Kwan. I think you missed my point. Until Kwan backed out, Emily was not planning to go to Torino. At least that was what they
When you are an alternate you still go and you still have to be ready to skate in case there IS a injury to a skater. I While I agree with most everything else you said, this isn't totally true. Emily Hughes was not in Torino--she was in Long Island and was snowed in.
you've got mail.
Cool! Do you want me to knit a beanie for you to give her? I can have it out in the mail to you by Saturday, and I have some very nice pink chenille-like yarn that I can make it out of. If you can wait until Monday for a mailing date, I can make a pair of matching bootees. It's all no charge, of course....just let me know and
Sweet! I really like it. My neice is due in a couple of weeks--I might print out the picture to show my mom. Are we going to get to see pictures of the project you just finished?
Women are not minorities When it comes to hiring them into influential positions on government, they are.
Dr. Guy, if you really believe that Abramoff didn't break any House rules, than what's all the fuss about? Why are we re-writing lobbying rules? Are you aware of the ethics rules surrounding lobbyist activities on the Hill? Abramoff broke every last one of them, and did so blatantly. He's making life miserable for many people in DC--simply because he did not think that he had to play by the same rules as everyone else.
We have the VBS, but they ask the same questions VBS works on the same guidelines as the Red Cross--I'm bared from life from them as well.
I wondered about the UK think when they first started asking me about it, and was told it was because of bovine encephalitis. I am not familiar with that. If it is hard to detect, then I can see them being paranoid (since they can be sued to death if they miss it). But if it is detectable with tests, then I dont see the reason
Receipients. Sorry. Clearly I need to work on my reading comprehension today. I do understand why they ask, though.
Never mind that no one asks the sexual preference, race, creed or color of the recipient of the donations. Um, only sort of. They do ask if you have had sex with a man since 1977 or if you have had sex with a man who has sex with a man since 1977. Not saying that they necessarily should chan
Larry--I don't think that I had realized that you worked at Stardock. Congrats on five years!
Very cool. I'm expecting to be an aunt next month, and my future niece's name will also be Abigail!
(((Dharma))). I'm speechless--I can't imagine the pain you've suffered. I'm also hopeful that you and your daughter and son will be able to move forward together. Best of luck.
Sure, took me a while. It was on CNN Money. Here is a link: Link_archive/2006/02/06/8367959/index.htm The part that grabbed my attention was this part of a paragragh (the whole article is a fascinating read as well): I think the wording in the article is a little misleading, so I just want to clar
Ah, cellulosic ethanol--not made from corn, but rather from agricultural waste. Thanks for the link.
Shades, I think you starting a recycling program at work is outstanding! Re-reading that, I may have made it sound bigger than it is. Recycling "program" might be a stretch--there are only 3 of us in the company! I simply put out boxes to collect things. We print out loads of stuff (drafts, legislatio
I saw a couple of articles today. One was on Ethanol. They have the cost of production down to about 20 cents a gallon. Really? 20 cents? Do you have a link to that article--I'm curious about it.
I recycle. At home it's easy, we just have separate trash cans. But at work, we didn't have a recycling program, so I looked in to it and started separating out the stuff in our office. The bad part is I have to take it down to the loading dock on my own (the cleaning crew deals with the "regular" trash)--but at least it gets done, right? Growing up we always had a compost pile, but it's sort of hard to have one on the 8th floor of my city
Sec Rice is quoted in the NYTimes as saying, "I've asked why nobody saw it coming. It does say something about us not having a good enough pulse." Honestly?!? Nobody knew? Makes me a little nervous to think these could be my colleagues in a few short months. To proclaim that "we do not talk to terrorists" is
Your elderly friend above ouch.
