SOS for Sudan

Mon, 02 Aug 2004 18:27:45 GMT

Jim Moore: I'm writing because I really really need your help. The genocide in Sudan has taken a much worse turn, militias are burning people--children and adults--in what can only be described as mob psychology. What was a "Rwanda in slow motion" because the genocide was being carried out by an engineered famine and epidemic, is no longer going slowly. This is starting to feel like Rwanda all over again, as the frenzy builds up...

Religion

Mon, 24 Nov 2003 03:28:51 GMT

Don Park: Beside my little weekend coding project, I am looking within myself to find out why I am religiously-challenged. I can see both the benefits and the cost of having a religion and, overall, having a religion is a good deal although mileage differs depending on the religion. My problem is that I can't get it even if I wanted it, a disability of the religious-kind...

Rhode Family History

Mon, 09 Sep 2002 02:44:50 GMT

A little over a year ago I published my Alaska Photolog including pictures and text about my grandmother, Ruth Rhode Cheney, my great-uncle Leo Rhode and their cousin, Lois Rhode Irvin. Yesterday I received an email from a distant relative in the Rhode family who found my site via Google and pointed me to the Rhode Family History. How cool is that?

Thomas Jefferson: "Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."

Our fear has lead us over the edge of a very slippery slope. Right now, at this moment, it appears the terrorists are winning the war. We may win the battle and kill or capture every terrorist in Afghanistan. We may take out Saddam Hussein, Kadafi, and all the other bad guys all around the world. But none of that will matter because our country is already infected with a terminal disease — fascism.
