This is an interesting though wordy blog. I can tell you love words. I think that you will have interesting stories. I like your writing style also.

Dharma, I think it is interesting that you ask a philosophical and almost religious question by a wise child and you got political answers. The only thing that I can see is that life is unfair and because it is unfair, people with power can do what they want and children lose their daddies and mommies. Even though life is unfair, there are people who love and care for children and those children who lose their daddies or mommies will be loved and

Reply to The Purpose Driven Life, Chapter Four in Religion JoeUser Forums

This is encouraging. Yesterday someone came to visit. She saw all the stuff from my desk, covering the dining room table and made the remark. "Where are you going to eat." I had encouraged her to come and visit because the weather was great. I always put people ahead of everything else. So her comment stung. But I know that I am spending my time wisely. So I will occasionally be criticized by those who keep a clean house or dress to kill.</font

I have never read Ayn Rand, but I always thought that even if you don't want to lift people out of poverty because of compassion, that greed would do. The poor don't buy. How do you address the idea that there is a limited supply of stuff and if I share it with you, then I'll have less for myself?

Reply to Richard Clarke Is Credible, Here's Why... in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm only saying that you've done the research to show that Richard Clark is credible. I believed that he was based on the fact that he worked for several presidents of both parties. That is why I think that he is credible, but as for the research that you have gone into. I haven't done that at all. I made a comment that I didn't think he had an axe to grind and my statement was used by another person to say that he thought Richard Clark did have an

I agree with you, but don't have the facts to prove it. Thanks for your research.

Reply to While the World Did Nothing in History JoeUser Forums

I think that whether of not the world is willing to do something has a lot to do with where and what. Rwanda would have been a difficult intervention since it was a civil war as well as a genocide. In the Spanish Civil war one fourth of the population was killed, but it was never considered a genocide. In that war the intervention caused more deaths.

Reply to Global Warming is Real in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

Global warming is real. Even if we could do something about it, I doubt if we will. SUV's, the big gas guzzlers are the only vehicle that makes a large profit for the auto industry. So unless gasoline gets prohibitively expensive, I'm sure they will continue to sell. The other question is, even if we did do something, would it make a difference. Since there is no solid proof, the U.S. continues to ignore the problem.

Reply to The Purpose Driven Life, Chapter Two in Religion JoeUser Forums

Theology is full of conflicts, some of which are resolved, others which are not. It is impossible to think that God is a God of love and that he predetermines everything, otherwise why would he predetermine misery?

The problem is that most of the web pages on google and the other search engines are money making sites. I think at the library you can access data bases, but I haven't tried much.

Reply to Home Schooling: Have You Chosen the Winning Side? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I didn't homeschool, but we did take our daughters out of school for six months and traveled. It was a good decision all around. They learned far more than they would have in school and they got out of high school and went to community college instead. Homeschooling can be either a disaster or a good thing. It takes a good deal of commitment on the part of the parents and the children, but it can be fun if you do it right.

The problem is that foreign policy is generally based on what will it do for us. This is true of a lot of countries. The Genocides of Nazi Germany and of the Soviet Union, were just the beginning of genocides in the twentieth century. This century will probably be no different. There is one going on right now in the Congo, but we never hear about it in the U.S.
