Thomas Jefferson said:

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."

This is one of our founding fathers encouraging progress. New truths have formed and opinions have changed on issues like same-sex marriage, embryonic stem cell research, birth control and abortion - would the founders have wanted us to "keep pace with the times" and make laws that reflect our new wisdom, regardless of what the Bible says?

Both of my children enjoy reading, but with summer here it is hard to get them inside. In the winter months reading was all they wanted to do. They are 6 & 7 years old. I like for them to read 30 minutes a day. I am looking for incentive programs or other creative ideas you might have. I already signed them up for the book club at our local library. They already know what books they like so interest is not a problem. One idea I had was for every 5 books they read, they can buy one. Anyway, please share your ideas and thoughts. Thanks.

My whole life I was deeply attracted to girls, any cute girl that showed me attention would cause me to be infatuated with her. I fell in love with a girl my senior year of high school and had a great relationship, sex was great. Then we went to different colleges and we broke up, I was heartbroken for about 6 months. I'm about to be a junion in college and still haven't dated anybody else (I might add that this girl loved me, was gorgeous , and got a full scholarship to duke... so nobody else has come up to par with her) About 5 months ago I was masturbating and saw a shirtless guy and had a panic attack because I thought I liked it. I lived in depression for the next 6 weeks or so, and ever since then my attraction to girls just hasnt been the same. I have started to recognize guys as being good looking, yet have had no real attraction to any. Can you turn gay? Or is this low libido?I showered with guys in high school
and never was slightly turned on. HELP!

in some places real estate is going down in its down turn. will real estate always go down and stay flat?

doesnt real estate double every 10 years? so if ther average house is 500,000. in 10 years it will be almost a million? so in 5 years it will be 700,000? someone told me real estate ALWAYS has cyles, if it is going down now, it WILL go back up later. they said a real esate cyle is usualy 7 years. from top to bottom back to top, or bottom to top back to bottom. so in 5 years or more, real estate will be going up real high?

and someone said everytimg theres a boom, the next boom will always be higher than the last? so the last boom was in the early 2000's. so by the 2010 or later it will go up higher than the peak in the early 2000's?

if i buy 5 houses below value right now since prices are going down, andi n a buyers market for 500,000. can i look foward to selling them for 700,000 in 5 years from now when its a sellers market?

the rest of the family like complete and utter garbage? She has two daughters and treats one like she can do NO wrong and the other like she does everything wrong. She does everything with that daughter and leaves the other one out of things. Never invtes the other daughter over her house. She promised the same apartment to both daughters and guess who got it? The favorite one. She even treats our dad like an outsider and embraces that daughter's husband. God forbid if I do anything without inviting the favorite daughter it is WW3. I don't understand I have not done anything wrong, am graduating from graduate school, married, and am adored by everyone except for my mother. She is mean hearted toward me and knocks everything, I have done, doing or did.

.... And i do not mean a different shade of an existing color (ie pink and red), but a completely different color that will blow our minds?
I am aware of the color spectrum, and as far as we know we know everything about it, but we also knew all about germs and microbes in the early 1900's.... and of course that was proven wrong.

No one else in America is allowed to disregard a law that they don't feel like complying with without facing consequences.

I'd love to not be bothered with preparing my 1040 every year but the law compels me to do so.

wound up tightly, ready to spring
release only comes from the drink
and the drugs stop me from being a prick
from a life time that smells just like stink
soundless thoughtsstirring within the head
look over now, ten people lay dead
broken words sold the midget said
the demonic monster will be fed
with a southern drawl the man he spoke
most people around here are good folk
social issues, paranoid on coke
please excuse me while i take a toke
the soldiers face all covered in scars
sitting so drunk in his local bar
hearing the voice of dead irish dah
round here things dont change, they are
sacrificed myself to pay the rent
im sure thats not what they really meant
emotionally got twisted and sorta bent
fighting back till im totally spent
