I think they did. Most creation stories are very symbolic and deeply tied with a societies view of themselves. It may seem ridiculous to us but would make perfect sense to them.
Personally, I do not have a problem with teaching evolution in schools. It not about religon, it is about teaching sound scientific theories. It is part of a fundamental part of biological sciences. You have to understand evolutionary theory to understand much of science. To not teach it is...
I do want to add that small business and the gov't are the biggest employers not large corporations. The gov't alone employs nearly a quarter of the working population. While small business employ about half. Gov't jobs are also the better jobs in terms of income and benefits. Also, a lot of...
No, it doen't work. Wasn't that what the Bush adminstration was doing? Cut taxes for the rich and deregulate. Look what happened. Trickle down economics never works. In the end, it didn't work for Reagan or Bush.
I was meaning big oil and coal. Also, I was refering to the mid ot low management that are really limited on what they can do. There are many good companies out their that do turn a profit while caring for others.
Yeah, but I can't hate the grunt workers or even the middle management. They need to eat. The CEOs on the other hand... Do they even care or know what they are doing?
I see children were the hijab, crosses, saints images and the star of David at schools in California. In Paris, they have banned the hijab but not the cross. As a religious rights issue, it is wrong to ban people from practicing their faith or wearing religous symbols. Obviously, it does not...
Turned it down to 67 lastnight. Could have gone lower. Someone had it at 72. Like anyone cares when we are asleep. If I need to stay warm, I will have my dog or one of the cats snuggle with me. (This really helps quite a bit.)
We just bought a Roku for $80 online. This is a onetime buy with no monthly charges. It lets you stream Netflix instant movies, has Amazon VOD, MLB and soon Pandora internet radio and few other channels. They are also suppose to have a channel store coming this month.
If you already have...
To be honest most of the debate over if global warming is happening or not is politcally and financially motivated. Corporations spend quite a bit of time and money to argue against any change. Look at the politicians that declare their is no global warming or those horrible commercials by the...
Don't have a defeitist attitude. This breaks my heart. Once people start giving up on changing things it is quickly downhill from there. It takes time and work, but people can and do change. It is not people being people but society holding onto an outdated and distructive ideaology.
I...
Perhaps, as state gov'ts lose money they will push for more energy efficiency. Most subsidize the cost of energy in one way or another. Some of California's debt is a hold over from the energy crisis in 2000/2001. People forget that Grey Davis had to pay a few billion to Enron - when they were...
I wanted to bring up price increase but it is very unpopular. My first thought was the gov't should just lift the subsidies on petroleum and coal? Right their the price of energy would more than double.
It would get everyone to dramatically cut their energy use. But at what cost? It would...
I wanted to add that currently have abstanded from buying a big HDTV. The old tude TV works fine and uses a fraction of the energy of a new one. Is this they first case of improved technology that actually uses more energy?
Home Depot is giving 50% of LED lights when you turn in your old ones.
I wander if their is a way you can set up some type of mini solar panel system for your barn light. I know their are latterns that can be charged all day in the sun to be used at night.
