Consider the following short article by David Brooks:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/23/opinion/23brooks.html?ref=todayspaper

In it, he claims that the "real" Rudy Giuliani is the outspoken liberal of ten years ago, and that the current "conservative" Giuliani is fluff and hot air. I think Mr. Brooks is being more than a little naive here. More than being a liberal or a moderate or a conservative or a Republican or a Democrat, Mr. Giuliani is a politician. And the only "real" characteristics of politicians are those of extreme narcissism, loyalty to self, and love of power. There is no "real" Rudy Giuliani, save the one that casts aside wives when he grows tired of them. Mr. Giuliani catered to the citizens of New York when they were his constituents. Now that he wants to be the Republican nominee for president, he is catering to the Republican party. Like all politicians, he has no inner convictions. He just wants to win the election and assuage his ridiculous ego.

I was once a Buddhist because my parents were Buddhist but now I'm an Atheist. My reason was because I saw no good logic behind any religion. The reason is because religion is involved with politics, in order to keep order in our society. Fear is a powerful weapon, we use gods to control each other's actions. Why did the kings, emperors, lords, and tyrants claim that they are the messenger of the gods?

Simple so people would fear them, no one would dare to defy the name of a god back then. How do we know if the gods chose them to rule? We were uneducated back then and believed any higher authority. My explanation, whats your's?

Thanks for reading.

A bit of space debris penetrates the hull of a spaceship traversing the asteroid belt and comes to rest in a container of water that was at 0oC before being hit. The mass of the space rock is 0.92g and the mass of the water is 1.15kg. If the space rock traveled at 8.17 x 103 m/s, and all of its kinetic energy was used to heat the water, what is the final temprature of the water?
Assume the interaction happens fast enough that the water does not boil.

I have a Verizon Wireless Fire Red KRZR and now I can't see anything on the screen. It is almost like the light has blown out or something. It has happened before and I would just plug it into the charger and it would work, but I tried that and it didn't work. It has never been dropped like from a high place or onto a hard floor and it has never gotten wet. Does anyone have any suggestions or have the phone and it happened to them?

When did you take your sweetie out and said,"Money is no object." And took them wherever they wanted to go and let them buy and do whatever they wanted to do. I am not talking about them taking you out. I am talking about YOU taking THEM out.

What is/are the song(s) by your favorite band that you feel is/are absolutely amazing but no one seems to appreciate it/them because it/them was overshadowed by the hits?

Mine are Pink Floyd's Mudmen, Cymbaline, The Embryo, Grantchester Meadows and Good Bye Blue Sky.

Yours?

....and benefited by the discipline in accord with the admonition at:
1 Cor. 5:9-13

--ALSO NOTE THIS observation:

*** w82 4/1 p. 13 Insight on the News
“Doing It Right”
--A recent editorial in the Sun of Gainesville, Florida, contrasted the so-called Moral Majority with Jehovah’s Witnesses in their approach to morality. “[The Witness] publication, The Watchtower, provides the instructions—most of them reassertions of long established principles,” noted the Sun. And “the offender who resists ‘loving concern’ is apt to be ‘disfellowshipped,’ which means dismissal from the congregation. . . . The discipline may offend some Americans, but it is entirely proper for Witnesses to enforce their own fellowship rules. It is a voluntary association, and the exit is easy for anybody who wants out....
..In the opinion of the Sun, this mixing of religion and politics is unconstitutional, and therefore the Moral Majority is “doing it wrong and the Jehovah’s Witnesses are doing it right"
