  "No good has ever come, nor will ever come of the Papacy and its laws. No greater scandal has there ever been, than that which has happened by the ungodly imposition of celibacy, and the prohibition of marriage for the clergy." Dr. Martin Luther, "To the Christian Nobility of the…

  We need to train the operators how to follow the proper procedures, not to cut corners and mix reactant materials in a bucket. And we need to get the architects (not Aneha) to design the plants to withstand seismic tremors. Japan's Donen also needs IAEA supervision. Daily supervision. To ensure…

  The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s major sources of instability. Americans are directly connected to this conflict, and increasingly imperiled by its devastation. Not to mention being bled dry. "Radical Islam is caused by the unholy Koran and the Imams who relentlessly preach violence, hatred, and intolerance of…

Starting with the fingerprinting and photographing at the airport, then the almost complete absence of anyone who can get past "I'mfinethankyouandyou?" or who actually knows the answer to a question when asked. Window-wiper actions to indicate either…

  Carter is 100% in the right here. Israel has a long history of ignoring UNSC resolutions, protecting even basic human rights, respecting any treaties it signs with the Palestinians, ans willfully targets innocent civilians; women, children, ambulances and the press.
