Share their burden... be there even if in silence. I am so sorry for your loss.

DocJay: Actually this callousness has always been there.  Perhaps the selfish generations display it more openly.  

You will find, in the private world, those with whom you associate and those who you avoid.    Take care but move on amigo.  Your destiny is to survive your training and be a shining light in the world.   · 6 hours ago

Doc.. that helps and it disappoints ... all at once.

Byron Horatio: I recently read a book on Cato the Younger.  I was amazed at how the creation of a welfare state and Caesar's promises for Ancient safety nets played in to the rotting and fall of the Republic.  · 44 minutes ago

What you said, what you said.

With you there "sort of Dionysius"... the decline of the Roman Republic bears an eerie similarity to the last 50 years. The change in the social mores, the rise of the dependent class, the government subsidies of food, the centralisation of power, the increase in power wielded by the leader and the decline in checks and balances of the Senate, the blatant purchasing of votes, the increasing in corruption, the end of Roman virtues...

Sigh. Oft doth the evil harpy of historical misfortune, once thought sated, rise again to sup on the flesh of the republic anew.

CU Doug- thanks for posting about this. Social conservatives have been voicing fears about things like this for a while, and poo-pooed as hyperventilating shiver-spines. It's always good to have the evidence... but saying "I told you so" brings no joy, none at all.

This is such a poignant moment. A mother and wife from Wetumpka, Alabama..stands up for America. A place none of the "important" people in Washington has heard of I bet...

Zafar: Wonderful!!!

Antipodius: The Day my four year old asked her mother to teach her Hebrew. · 22 hours ago

Teach her at once, while she's so little it'll come easily. · 1 hour ago

Will do Zafar. I am determined to raise not only an accomplished mind, but a moral person. I am pleasantly surprised by her curious mind... I will be prouder still when she shows courage principle and kindness.

Every night we pray together that she grows to become strong, brave, kind and good. We always end with emphasis on the kind and good.

Well said.

Pass the ondansetron - I need it.

Long bow,

There is no evidence that Tea Party groups are less likely to pay their taxes than other people.

Good profiling is based on evidence. We do it in medicine all the time. It's what helps us decide whether that patient in the ER is more likely to have a heart attack than the other one with chest pain.

I am constantly stopped at airports and checked (Large black man), and by police.. I don't mind either.
