I may be “fully pissed” as our friend Paraclete so “nicely” points out.

You are right. According to information available in the Net, in 1933, default on the national debt was sparked by the nation’s abrogation of the gold clause, which...

Thanks, Wondergirl,

By the same token, and despite such indifference, we, as individuals, must keep on giving whatever little help we may, no matter how small, for everything counts.

I quite agree with you and, consequently, we both understand the Bible has to be interpreted bearing in mind when it was written and what it means, NOT what it says literally.
Thanks...

Since you people apparently like to discuss whether is right or wrong to literally interpreting the Holy Bible I'm going to suggest a different subject altogether to what you have been discussing so...

Sorry Freeman,

All I can do is to refer you to Dashbur's answer 114, of Aug. 13th.

Not potential. A true "Son of Love", period.
