Actually, that's too IMpractical and certainly, IF implemented, would NOT work. What MIGHT help is to put some serious incentives in place to bring JOBS back to the US... be they tax breaks for hiring, for business capital investment ONLY in the US, or trade tariffs, just SOMETHING that would stem the flow of our jobs to China, India and the Phillipines.

You wouldn't be the first person to write his own obit. Might you not want to include some specific highlights of your journey? Accomplishments or other events that have been meaningful to you or things you'd want people to remember about you? One of the reasons people who do their own obits do so is to specify what they'd like their legacy in this life to be/to have been. I would also hope that you're not planning for this to be published anytime specific time too soon...

Does your sarcasm reflect your willingness to forego said rebate this year? And here I thought it was WALMART where we could get the best deal on extruded plastic in various shapes made in Chinese factories... shows what I knew! btw, anyone see the link on Drudge to news of massive impending unemployment in CHINA? :blink:

Yes, we can! Please let us know, Washn'wear, what you're Mom tells you! Thanks. :)

For the Dbacks... 22 hours, 12 minutes! Moving on... to the 2008 BASEBALL (pre)season!

It was visual... maybe he'll have available for viewing on his web site... I'll check.

Letterman had an interesting take on the hearing with Clemens... anyone else see that besides me?

It was in the mid70s today... some clouds, but still calm and still a lovely day... rain and wind and colder expected tomorrow... Dbacks (pitchers/catchers) report in... just about ONE day, 16 hours... Friday NOON!!!

Try again. NO such announcement has been made. NOBODY here has ANY right, moral or otherwise, to DEFAME a young person who wants to enter Christian ministry. NOBODY here has produced ANY documentation that said young person intends to carry on, or carry out the legacy of the founder of TWI. This is NOT about ME or ANY ability (or lack thereof) that I might have to see Ham's point of view. This is about IDLE speculation ONLY because the name of this young person stirs emotions based on what this young person's grandfather did, NOT based on ANYTHING ANYONE has shown to be AT ALL related to what this young person HAS said or done, intentional or otherwise. There should be NO question in ANY reader's mind, if said reader still holds ANY respect for what is in the Bible that what HAM and RHINO and GEORGE ST. GEORGE have posted in this thread. Further, even for those who reject completely ALL of what is in the Bible, it is STILL morally despicable to put forth such idle speculation about the intentions of that young man before that young man has even begun his Christian ministry. And WordWolf, IF you actually read ALL of what is written in this thread, you will easily recognize it as NOTHING but slanderous idle speculation to defame someone who had no choice of which parents to be born to nor did he have any choice in the name he was given at birth. You make ZERO sense. Your ramblings do not even deserve to be addressed on any kind of point by point basis. Prove this claim.

From: Regarding corn gluten The term gluten in reference to the cohesive, elastic protein mass remaining after starch is washed from a dough goes back to Beccari in 1745. Strictly speaking, gluten is found only in wheat because it is difficult to wash a cohesive protein mass even from rye, the closest relative to wheat, let alone from barley or oats or anything else. Unfortunately, a misuse of the term by the corn industry has become common in recent years. It has become fairly common to call corn storage proteins corn gluten. Personally, I think there is no justification for such usage. Corn may contain prolamins, as does wheat, but not gluten.

Okay, you're so smart...(?) name that logical fallacy (the one YOU committed). It IS a logical fallacy and you should be able to name it. And I am NOT talking about your clumsy grammar.

Now George, for a PhD, this is an awfully ignorant comment. Fabrications? Not hardly. With a view like you've expressed, I'm not sure how you could guess with ANY degree of confidence what Moore would do. THAT is a thoughtful comment on this topic! Buscemi would even physically resemble HA. And Kathy Bates does a heck of a dark female villain.

If you think this is about ME giving anyone permission to do anything you got some really messed up brain cells. However, if the kid hasn't harmed YOU, then WHY are YOU (any of you) on his case? And it's NOT the young Mr. Wierwille that's setting anything up, it's D**g Mc*ullen. If the young Mr. Wierwille wants to have a personal ministry and believes it's God's will for him to do, what harm is that to ANYone here? Why would any of you want to slander anyone? If any of you have first hand experience with someone having harmed you, talk about it, fine... but I just don't get why you want to talk bad about someone just because you don't like his grandfather.

Did this kid (V2P2) do anything harmful to anyone here? And if it refers to the person I think it does... please don't forget that he had no choice in where and to whom he was born... and he IS still just a kid. pretty much.

4days, 17 hours, 8 minutes until Dbacks pitchers and catchers report time!

Injury could end Schilling's career As to the registration at azcentral.com I just tell them I'm a 102 year old female from California... they really don't care... I usually stop there at other news sites, but with azcentral.com, I have to read them...

Back in November they did that... yep.

Looks like you have the necessary patience and are learning things that might work with your two little guys... I have one cat. His biggest problem is that he hates other cats. He rarely lets me pick him up, but does occasionally if he "needs some love." Usually, we sit together (him next to me) watching TV and I either stroke/pet or brush him. Another thing he used to do, which I used to like... is he would come get on top of me while I was in bed sleeping. I used to be able to pet him some while not completely waking up, so that I'd go right back to sleep. However, as it got harder to fall back asleep, I discouraged him doing that to wake me.

What was that you said on the previous page.... about not knowing what's going to happen. I just read that Schilling's got a major shoulder problem that will probably end his career without him throwing another pitch in a big league game. And the comments on the article at azcentral.com are none too kind for the Major League Mouth Mr. Schilling has... and that the BoSox maybe should have been more aggressive in going after Santana.

Happy B'day Shellon... And the wine and roses are on behalf of Coolchef...

I had a brother and a sister (both younger than me) and I was the first one to become involved in TWI. I was first involved with TWI in Oct 1974. They (and my mother) took the plaf class several years later. I left twi in 1986. My mother went to twigs for a while, a bit longer than either my brother or sister. We were raised Catholic. None of us continued with the Catholic church into adulthood.

Apparently, Eli was supposed to be on Letterman tonight... but he couldn't get a flight out. Bad weather today, here and probably lots of other places in the US delayed a lot of flights out of Phoenix. But Eli will, apparently, be there on Wednesday. Heck, at my house, I think we've gotten more rain in the last two months than we did in the entire 12 months before that. Including at least a half inch today.

Well... that's just plain SILLY. Or should I say, sufferin' succotash!

That's no fix. You inserted OTHER topic, but did nothing about the original POLITICAL subject. Besides being inherently ridiculous, your "fix" would fit better in the "just plain silly" forum. Or perhaps that's WHY it would THEN fit better in the silly forum. Why has no moderator done anything about this, I wonder?

I'm not sure why, but regular season (single game) tickets for Dbacks games won't be available for purchase until March 1rst.
