The books Library of Congress Catalog Card Number is 63-18206. The copyright, 1963, is held by Doubleday & Company. To be perfectly clear--...

Yes, said aQtwa, That is my name. And you, aQtwa, did come freely before the Tainver and did acknowledge and enumerate your sins as adultery, greed, thievery, and drunkenness of the body and the spirit? the Highest of the High Brethren intoned from his seat, almost like a barrister reading a list of charges. Yes. Indeed I did, replied aQtwa. He would have proffered an explanation, but...

Do armed Civilans stop mass shootings? Actually NO!
By: retired military ex Republican • default • 2 comments • 12 years ago
Mass shootings are not detered by civilians with weapons. In fact in many cases they just become part of the injured or dead. Mass shooters are usually planning on dieing unless you are of the same mind they have the upper hand. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/armed-civilians-do-not-stop-mass-shootings

The Little Box of Music Magic.
By: 1984, Wasn't. • default • 3 comments • 12 years ago
This was a daunting project when I attempted it earlier in another format, and the result turned out rather clumsy. It was not awful, but hard to capture the Muse when you have to worry with formatting and uploading issues. This format may promise a full expression of what I wish to capture, it may not. What I would like to share is just a portrait of the incredible journey I was able to...
Why I Believe Humanity Created God and God Did Not Create Humanity
By: Alan Curtis Montgomery • default • 3 comments • 12 years ago
The clearest evidence after careful pondering that humanity created God and God did not create humanity is the evolution of God as humanity has evolved. The Christian God that Christian's call Jesus Christ is widely known as a merciful but just God. A God that heals the afflicted and blesses those that do good as good is defined in Christian theology and withholds his blessings from...
President Obama Diplomat In Chief
By: Alan Curtis Montgomery • default • 13 comments • 12 years ago
We, Us, Everyone, United, Together, Collectively, Act as One, You and I; these are terms that embody the very spirit of diplomacy and the types of words oft' spoken by President Obama. Some Commanders-in-Chiefs come in with a doctrinaire, caviler, and arrogant view of foreign policy before they even step foot in the Oval Office. Others come with hardly any view on foreign policy...

Bial looked questioningly at Marivon as she moved across the floor of the hall, a slight sheen of perspiration just beginning to form on her brow. Marivons thoughts ran roughly in the same direction as the instructors. How powerful could one individual be? He had ripped her out of the hall to some place miles away. If he could create and impose the patterns without realizing he was doing it....
IN MY REFLECTIVE PROSPECTIVE - A Reflective Perspective
By: Moonchild63 • default • 0 comments • 12 years ago
In the last few months, I have had the opportunity to sit with a lovely young lady, she spoke at times, but I couldn't understand a word she was saying. She ate and slept, drooled (at times) and boy were her bodily functions at times P-E-U! She is now my good friend and I will miss her as she now must move on to the new person who will be sitting with her for a while. People come and...
Where the GOP fits.
By: retired military ex Republican • default • 1 comments • 12 years ago
#1 The Gop reminds me of two things one is the little child laying on the floor screaming and banging the floor with their feet and fists as they lay on their stomach.#2 Remember the old golf story about the four golfers they go home and one Golfers wife asks her husband how his day was at the golf course?The husband replys on the front nine Fred had a heart attack.Wife says what a horrible day...
