Re: The Anabaptist perception towards U.S. Holidays!

What about Good Friday. Even organized labor knows that's a proper Holiday.

Re: War in Gaza

I agree. But the rules can be a kind of litmus test, a way of clearly seeing that something has gone way beyond what is acceptable. Both Israel and Hamas are after retribution. There is no way to justify the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th. There is no way to justify what Israel is doing now ...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper

My understanding was that one was only required to take communion, following confession of course, once within the period between Easter and Pentecost, one’s so called “Easter Duty.” If I remember correctly, since the Mass is a “sacrifice” one cannot have a Mass without communion. Since the 4th cen...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

I'm not an engineer and therefore not an expert on any of this. But I'm not imagining how they could put up a temporary bridge for a span this wide. Temporary bridges would make sense for a small river or something where you can just drop a truss in place until you get a better bridge made. But thi...

Re: War in Gaza

Which sounds familiar to the Gaza War logic. Hamas is a death cult too. And Israel thinks that this war will somehow reduce deaths in the long run if they can win totally. Point being, when the stakes are high enough, the rules erode. When the stakes are low, rules can be afforded. It’s good when t...

Re: recommendations for cars/suv

I might turn the question around and start from the other end. First find the person/ shop who will be doing the maintenance and repair and find out which vehicles they most commonly work on. .. and, insurance agent. it can be surprising how different models, years, etc., affect ins premiums. befor...

I think they have a temp bridge up within a year and maybe, maybe... a new one up sometime within 30 years.

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Yes. Take for example the I-95 bridge collapse in Philly last year, which was replaced in TWELVE DAYS. not replaced. Just filled in with gravel and composites. They are still working to replace. Took 5 years to build it. That is after construction started. What we are hearing here is six months to ...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Slow down, Ken. The replacement bridge hasn’t been built yet. There are already “environmentalists” proposing not to rebuild it so as to reduce “auto dependence”. Yes, and we also have people talking about banning chemtrails. Let us know when anyone in positions of power in the Federal and State go...
