Islam

If the Islamic community is sooooo offended by what the French declaire as offensive servitude (the wearing of the burka) in their own country (France) then Muslims should leave and immigrate to an Islamic country. Muslim community or any religious organization has no right to impose or force its religious values on people who do not share the same outlook on life.

Ice Road Truckers

I have been watching a show on the History Channel, "Ice Road Truckers." The show is about tuckers that drive 10 to 50 tonnes loads across the frozen Arctic ice shield and the dangers associated with that job. When I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK (I was with 47th Engineer Company) we did ice bridging for the military exercises that were held in Alaska. To create an ice bridge a suitable location had to be found, and then holes were cut into the ice, in these holes water pumps were inserted so that water could be blown on the ice thus building up the thickness of the ice. To cross an D7 Cat the ice had to ( I do not remember exactly) 22 or 28 inches thick where the Ice Road Truckers are crossing on 54 or more inches of ice with their loads. What I found interesting was that when the 18 wheelers were crossing the ice with the heavy loads a pressure wave is created under the ice and if two waves meet from opposite directions the result is broken ice and trucks in the water, freezing water, so when heavy loads are travelling from opposite directions one side has to pull over and stop and let the other trucks pass.

DNA

I am reading a book called,"The Third Chimpanzee" by Jared Diamond, I have read two other books by him called "Collapse," (why civivlizations deteriorate and then collapse) and "Germs, Guns and Steel," (why history of the conquest of the New World was by the Europeans and not the other way around, and other stuff relating why the world is the way it is). They were both great insightful books that frankly answered some questions that I had always thought about relating to the history of the world. In this third book that I am reading I came across an interesting statistic; the DNA difference between homo sapiens and chimpanzee's is 2% or another way stating this DNA fact is that humans and chimps share 98% of the same DNA. This difference is easy explained by evolution and shows a logical tree structure in the evolutionary chain on events.

According to the Bible, animals came before man, man was created on the last day, and it was "good." This means that we are 98% chimpanzee, 2% human in our DNA makeup since the "chimp" came before "man," that was created by God. It says in the Bible that Man was created from the dust of the ground, how does dust of the ground contain chimpanzee DNA? If man was created seperately, apart from the animals, should not human DNA be totaly different, seperate from the animal kingdom? Not sharing any genes? The more I study science, the more I see how religion fails in explaining the universe and it's workings.

MM -- Why does God let defective babies be born? Why does God let DNA and genes be mutated thus creating defective human beings. God created some reptiles so that when they have a appendage or tail cut off it grows back, why did God not make humans that way? Reptiles are more important? God has the technology why not incorporate that ability into the human body? God created us this way so we could suffer and learn stuff; at least that is the anwser I always heard in church. That's a cop out. Maybe you like suffering so God can speak to you, not me, He can do email.

Reading Books to My Boys

When my boys were small, we ( me and Lily) would read books to them. I always enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss books, but there was this other favorite book that I like to read them and now is a movie: Where the Wild Things Are, I loved this book and still do. I am going to see this movie.

Soon we will be the Union of Socialist Republics; everybody the same -- robots. The Democratic (the Left) Dictatorship in action.

If you answer these 6 questions "yes," you may be a alien.

No matter where you are in the world, the Left has the same agenda -- paying dead people, or do what you need to do to stay in policitcal power.
