Living in Truth, you will be criticized by men for being "unfair" and "unjust" for your justice makes them feel unclean-unable to pursue their "illusions"

This is what they call "injustice" You upset them, hurt their feelings, and prevent them from taking "unfair" advantage - walking on heads and using other flesh for worldly gain. Certainly to frighten and to upset people is wrong ordinarily..but when honesty frighten, it is evil that cries "injustice!" - and goes to war against good.

The "spiritual man" is the "light" of the world. His "silence" is his own eternal death - the crucifixion by men for his boldness-the end of the world.

Both the "cruel" and the "unforgiving" are wrong. Only the "wickedness" of others brings out your love, and only your love brings men to repent. Only in repentance can men find the TRUTH

This TRUTH disables the cruelty of men and stifles it growth-insuring the safety of those yet to come. If, through fear of men's standards of morality, we fail-in-..

I was really stressed this year from work and just had enough. So I looked up the symptoms of an appendicitis, and faked them to my boss. I was send my doctor, and I did it again. Before I knew it, i was in hospital and having tests on me. I stuck to my original symptoms and before I knew it I was operated on.
My family all rallied to me and it felt good being pampared on. But I feel really guilty about what I have done. What should I do ?

I'm trying to get vines to climb a cinderblock wall, they don't want to cling. I've tried using some small strips of tape to kind of hold the vines to the wall in hopes that they would attach themselves and I try to keep the wall damp but no luck getting the vines to cling. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas as to what I can do?

According to the Time headline last week, a new study finds that the abortion pill RU-486 is “safe.” The only drug approved by the FDA that is designed to end human life, rather than improve it, “doesn’t increase risks” said the Chicago Tribune headline.

These headlines take deception in journalism to a whole new level. During the last Congress, I served as counsel to the House subcommittee on drug policy that investigated the FDA’s approval of RU-486. Anyone who seriously examines the highly irregular approval process and the serious adverse events associated with this drug can only conclude that it poses a deadly danger to women and should be removed from the market.

Following confirmation by the FDA in late 2005 that four women died from a rare bacterial infection after taking RU-486, Congressman Mark Souder, then-chairman of the House Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources, initiated a year-long investigation of how the FDA was handling RU-486 and addressing the adverse events associated with it. The subcommittee gathered thousands of documents from the FDA, conducted dozens of interviews, and held a congressional hearing, “RU-486: Demonstrating a Low Standard for Women’s Health?” Ultimately, the subcommittee published an extensive staff report on the drug, recommending its immediate removal from the market.

The report, “FDA and RU-486: Lowering the Standard for Women’s Health” summarizes a mountain of evidence about this drug’s serious and unpredictable danger to women, detailing the reasons that the drug should be immediately withdrawn from the market. Here are just some highlights: RU-486 was fraudulently approved; it has caused the deaths of at least eight women (that are known); and it is at least ten times deadlier than its surgical alternative.

RU-486 is actually a two-drug combination that first blocks nutrition from the developing embryo, which kills it, then causes the uterus to contract and expel the contents. It was approved in the waning days of the Clinton presidency under a highly unusual and specialized federal provision called Subpart H, which applies only to drugs that treat “serious or life-threatening illnesses and that provide a meaningful therapeutic benefit” over existing treatments.

RU-486 doesn’t even come close to meeting the Subpart H criteria: a normal pregnancy is not a serious or life-threatening illness (RU-486 is contraindicated for ectopic pregnancies); and surgical alternatives are safer for the mother. In short, FDA violated its own regulations to approve RU-486. (The advocacy group Judicial Watch has a detailed report on the Clinton administration’s drive to approve RU-48; and a Citizens Petition filed against the FDA on behalf of Concerned Women for America, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Christian Medical Association offers a comprehensive account of the approval violations committed on behalf of RU-486 approval.)

RU-486 has caused a tremendously high rate of adverse events relative to the number of women who have taken the drug. As of last year, when the FDA provided information to the Subcommittee for its investigation, RU-486 had caused the deaths of at least eight women, nine life-threatening incidents, 232 hospitalizations, 116 blood transfusions, and 88 cases of infection. In total, we knew of more than 1070 adverse event cases associated with RU-486, out of only 575,000 prescriptions at most. This is even more alarming in light of the fact that adverse event reporting is notoriously low for any drug, much less a drug associated with abortion, for which reporting is expected to be even lower.

Finally, as explained in detail in The New England Journal of Medicine, RU-486 abortion (sometimes called “medical abortion”) is at least ten times more fatal than its surgical alternative. The figure, based on the most conservative numbers available, compares deaths from RU-486 abortion (a rate of 1 per 100,000) to surgical abortion before eight weeks (a rate of 0.1 per 100,000).

Now, just a few interesting facts about the business and manufacturing of this drug: Danco, the company that imports and distributes RU-486 (under the trade name of Mifeprex), is not a U.S. company, but is based in the Cayman Islands; RU-486 is its only product (making a voluntary withdrawal highly unlikely); and Danco imports RU-486 from that paragon of safe-product production, China.

So what are the options for actually withdrawing this drug from the market? There is a bill in the House that would suspend approval of RU-486 pending a Comptroller General review of the FDA’s initial approval. But approval could be reinstated after a favorable Comptroller General review. The FDA has authority, under a few provisions, for withdrawing a drug unilaterally, such as when a drug cannot be used safely despite restrictions, but it’s highly unlikely the FDA would pursue this course of action. The best current option for withdrawal of RU-486 rests with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has “Imminent Hazard” authority to remove a drug from the market under certain criteria (such as the unpredictability and severity of adverse events associated with a drug).

Returning to the mendacious headlines claiming RU-486 is “safe,” the careful reader will note that the study prompting this recent PR blitz lauding the abortion pill was not about the safety of RU-486 as a drug, or even as a form of abortion. The study was a comparison of subsequent pregnancy outcomes among women who had prior abortions, concluding that there was no difference between surgical or medical abortion on the impact on subsequent pregnancy.

However, abortion in general poses some risk to subsequent pregnancy; so to say there is no difference in long-term risk after having a medical versus surgical abortion is like saying there is no difference in long-term risk after getting into a traffic accident in a sedan versus a motorcycle. It ignores the fact that traffic accidents are dangerous, and motorcycle accidents are much more deadly.

So my coworker just got a business letter addressed, "Dear Ken," he said to me.....what do you think of a business letter starting with Dear? Dear is considered a term of endearment and therfore should not be used in formal business?

The other day I was in the store when I just so happened to see a girl with shorts that seemed to be about a size or two too small for her, and the top she had on could hardly be called a shirt at all. This was not the first time I had been grossly disterbed by the way others of my gender dress. We seem to be living in a time were less is more, when in fact its just less. Now dont get me wrong I am all for a modestly short skirt or V-Neck top, and there is nothing wrong with a shirt that shows off a bit of curves. But some girls seem to have forgotten that something should be left to the imagination. I say "Always leave them wanting more". I personally would like to see girls dressed in skirts not tea towles, shirts that has more coverage than a bra, and speaking of Bras the are called UNDERWEAR for a reason!!!!! I mean c'mon ladies lets have a bit more self respect and keep our "privates" just that! We can be sexy without showing it all!
And by the way I am only 23, and nicely shaped

I am a self-proclaimed solitary neophyte, and I'm slowly discovering my spiritual path. I've always had a strong interest in/attraction to Ancient Egyptian mythology, history, art, and geography. I am considering following the Egyptian Magical path (and addressing that particular pantheon). What is your advice for the novice who wants to discover his/her pantheon? I realize that there is little importance in the names I give my Lady and her Lord, but I want to connect with my passion and heritage, and all signs point to Egypt.

Ok, I received an email about this and my daughter brought home a newsletter from school about it, so I was just wondering if it was true...

On Monday, August 27, 2007, two moons will rise in
the
midnight sky. Starting in August, the planet Mars
will be the brightest object in the night sky, and
will look as large as a full moon to the naked eye.
This will culminate on Monday, August 27th, when Mars
comes within 34.65 million miles of Earth.

Be sure to watch the sky on Monday, August 27th from
midnight to 12:30A.M. It will look like the Earth has
two moons.

***The next time Mars comes this close to Earth will
be in the year 2287.

Don't miss this once in a lifetime spectacular
event!!!

I have searched online and came upon this website that states it is all a host: http://www.snopes.com/science/mars.asp

So, what do you think?

I am leasing a house in Arkansas. I have lived here for the past 3 years. My lease is due again in October and I am planning on moving by then. My problem is that I feel my privacy is severly invaded. My landlord lives out of state and she showed up knocking at my door a little over a week ago. She gave me no warning and has been to my house everyday since arriving. I feel that a notice would have been nice but I allowed her in to check things that she felt was necessesary anyway. She wanted to just look at the house and check lights. She continues to come to the door wanting to check something different. Today she brought a man with her. I am fed up. Do I have any rights about her being here? She also hired someone to replace some rotten boards around the garage door and hired someone to brushhog the outer areas of the property. She showed up wanting 160.00 from me for this. I never agreed to this. Yes, I will be moving, but do I have to tolerate this invasion of my privacy?
