Re: War in Gaza

You think they are just going to pack up and move north because some Palestinian mothers ask them to? I think there could have been more separation between the militants and non-militants. If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strat...

I am more concerned about the graven images of Washington, Jackson, Franklin, et al, which many people worship for both business and personal use.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

It is perfectly feasible to borrow $4,000 per year to pay for college and earn another $5,000 per year working part time and during the summers and wind up with a fully paid for nursing degree and $8,000 worth of student loans. That's a creative interpretation of "fully paid for." :) The ...

Re: Political office

One of the early Anabaptist leaders was a civil engineer in the employ of the city in charge of water and drainage systems, if I recall correctly. For me the issue would lie with the association of coersive force. There might be some offices I could theoretically occupy, but it's easy to imagine co...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

So, would we rather that those who commit crimes were abandoned by all, to stand in court without a friend or supporter present? That is actually the norm in our society. Most criminals, it's just them and their lawyer and maybe a reporter or one or two others. I think it can speak well for Christi...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

I don't get why people pack out the courtroom in cases like this. Not to mention testifying "he would never" when he actually did. It gives the impression that "we" think "we" are, or should be, above the law. There are better ways of supporting the accused. Watching sp...
