One of history's great accidental meetings. Neither the assassin nor the Archduke had any idea they would meet at this location. One (the assassin) missed the original meeting site and the other (the Archduke) missed a turn i.e. was lost.

Democracy isn't the same as morality. People are still people. But I'll take my chances with democracy (crowd) over a single person(self-appointed) who 'listens' to a god or believes they have a superior intellect.

Too many folks sacrificed for our freedom to vote. By not voting you are spitting on them with contempt. Your sacrifice is very very small compared to them. Vote like your life depends on it.

"Girl Dinner" was just explained to me and that's how I learned I've been eating girl dinner all along. A sleeve of crackers, chunk of cheese & a pile of grapes? That's me, girl dinner. Three pizza rolls, two chicken nuggets, and a Taco Bell hot sauce? That's me, girl dinner.

The question is and will always be can purely religious organizations use the power of government to enforce its religious moral codes? And if the answer is yes which set of religious moral codes is the 'right' one the government should enforce?

The real point is both the Democratic and Republican Party are PRIVATE clubs. They make the rules for themselves. They don't legally have to listen or follow any person's beliefs or systems. They can and do use government power to ensure their power.

An ethical moral old man is better for this country than an unethical immoral old man. The real issue...... Maybe the NYT should be 'talking' about the problem of the entrenched (by law) two-party system that locks out any chance of meaningful political change.

The last Presidential "Debate" was in the 60's. (Yes I'm that old). And I said I'm never going to put myself through that again. So far I've kept the promise to myself. BTW one of the few I've managed to do.

As time has passed we as a society have made teenagers younger and younger (less responsible) in our maturity society gauge.
Today's teenagers are just one step removed from grade school maturity.

What would Jesus say about this I wonder. Mark 12:17 King James Version (KJV) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marveled at him.
