I'd like to meet:
Smart people, thinking people, hurt people, good people.
I am not interested in sports, except Curling, Women's College Softball, Women's Pro Billiards, and Trick shot competition.

Love, love, love...
Our wings to fly to unexpected heights
and to see beyond our vehicles.
Our eyes to see our brothers' and sisters' souls
and to act according to our inner reality
our inspiration to find the real light
and searching for the source of all us...
Real Love does not die,
It has been there all time, and even before...
It is just that sometimes we are so busy
In other pursuits that we do not notice It.
But Love is always ready for us
To be ready to have our hearts filled
with its light and life!

Abortion: Since no woman in history has ever given birth to a leggo, a ping pong paddle, or a locomotive, it's safe to say that the result of a full - term pregnancy will be a child. That being the case, whether or not there is "life" after X amount of weeks is irrelevant. There will be. Who are we, man or woman, to prevent that life from coming into the world?
It is ideology that allows people to commit the most terrible acts in the belief that they are bringing about a better world. It blinds them to the most obvious moral considerations; it renders the most absolute evil good.
Solzhenitsyn
Race: To embrace powerlessness as a group definition is, as human psychology goes, odd: It makes sense only among people who do not feel whole inside. For me, the most awful thing about Katrina has been watching innocent poor people having to pick up the pieces of their lives. But the second most awful thing has been watching so much of the black commentariat making it so clear that they have, as it is put in the Halls of Ivy, internalized the views of the oppressor — that is, Bull Connor got to them.

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt, of the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group at Balad, Iraq, cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girl’s entire family was executed by insurgents; the killers shot her in the head as well. The girl received treatment at the U.S. military hospital in Balad, but cries and moans often. According to nurses at the facility, Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair. <[i>Photo courtesy of David W.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse
John Stuart Mill
Patriotism, I now believe, isn't some sentimental, old conceit. It's self-preservation. I believe patriotism is central to a nation's survival. Ben Franklin said it: If we don't all hang together, we all hang separately. Just like you have to fight to protect your friends and family, and you count on them to watch your own back.
Frank Miller
The everyday bravery and consummate professionalism of the troops I embedded with has strengthened my faith in the U.S. military. These soldiers are well aware of the history, culture, and sectarian strife that has wracked the Muslim world for more than a millennium. “They love death,†one gunner muttered as we heard explosions in the distance while parked in al Adil. Nevertheless, these troops are willing to put their lives on the line to bring security to Iraq, one neighborhood at a time

On Freedom
Captivity and servitude are both contrary to the law of nature; for by that law all men are born free - Justinian
... once Congress establishes that one person can live at the expense of another, it pays for everyone to try to do so ... I believe that reaching into one's own pockets to help his fellow man is both laudable and praiseworthy. Reaching into another's pockets to help his fellow man is despicable and worthy of condemnation Walter E. Williams
ifeminism is enjoying a new revival, but its roots go back to the anti-slavery movement of the 19th century. In working for the equal rights of slaves, female abolitionists asked themselves "do we not have a claim to such rights ourselves?" When these women began to lecture and write on their own behalf, individualist feminism (as a movement in America) was born.

Trying to eliminate a so-called mental illness by having a psychiatrist work on your brain is like trying to eliminate cigarette commercials from television by having a TV repairman work on your TV set.

Liberalism
What is especially disturbing about the political left is that they seem to have no sense of the tragedy of the human condition. Instead, they tend to see the problems of the world as due to other people not being as wise or as noble as themselves.
Thomas Sowell
GOD is not pleased by blood -- and not acting reasonably is contrary to GOD's nature. Faith is born of the soul, not the body. Whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats. ... To convince a reasonable soul, one does not need a strong arm, or weapons of any kind, or any other means of threatening a person with death ... ."
Pope Benedict XVI
Intelligent Design
When a number of separate, very unlikely events combine to produce something as complex as life, we suspect that the conditions were intentionally arranged for the purpose.
Michael J. Behe
Natural Law
Good and wise men, in all ages, have ... supposed that the deity, from the relations we stand in to Himself and to each other, has constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is indispensably obligatory upon all mankind, prior to any human institution whatever. This is what is called the law of nature .... Upon this law depend the natural rights of mankind. Alexander Hamilton
