their embracement of the concept of "freedom of choice"?
In other words, why is the only freedom of choice they embrace is the "right" of a woman to slaughter her unborn child, yet see no problem denying my "right" to burn light bulbs if I so choose?

Special Miracles
Written by Semper Fi Reborn

This baby is different,
He doesn't speak words.
But his expressions,
And his eyes are surely heard.

His world is wrapped,
Within silence.
Yet his laughter,
Has the sound of a beautiful violin.

You and I would surely crumble,
Under the weight,
Of the things he endures,
Day to day.
We'd say it's fate.

Yet to me he is a blessing,
Sent from Heaven in a wheelchair.
His vision's impaired,
But his views of life are very clear.

And there is still,
His joyful laughter.
Like a sermon from a pastor.
I feel like my student,
Is the master.
The teacher,
Like I'm an amateur in his profession.
He's a special miracle.
And I've been taught a lesson.

What does it mean to "Do unto others as you would do unto yourself"? This is because that I see Conservatives, no matter how religious they are, as hypocrites. Maybe that's why I'm a liberal (if not a little socialist) in my beliefs. Does this Golden Rule really apply to today? It seems to me that everyone is greedy and has forgotten their neighbor? Am I wrong?

i've got a trust SC-5250 5.1 surrond sound card and i've connected it to my sony AV amp with an optical toslink cable. The amp supports Dolby digital DTS and Pro logic.
The surround sound works fine if i play a dvd straight from the av unit but i can't get the unit to display the prologic light when playing music or a dvd from the pc and only the left and right speakers have sound all the rest are silent.
Do i need special software (DVD or media player) to output an optical signal the amp can decode. I've tried Winamp and a couple of plugins but still can't seem to get the other speakers to work.
By the way the sound quality is so much better and the volume on the amp much higher with the optical conection. You wonldn't beliveve it till u heard it! Unreal

Surely cultures are open to change and when in their cultural past did they have the ability to sail into antarctic waters with the equipment they now posess? One would have to hope that some things in their cultural past have already changed.

Maybe it is a naive question. But even with most "decent" people, there often seems to be lacking basic genuine goodness, there are attacks on those who are vulnerable,
little digs designed to make themselves feel superior. Sometimes I just feel so fed up with the human race. I want a better world than the one we seem to have. Is it me who is wrong, am I perceiving things wrong, or are most people
hard and unkind?

She is having her first Christmas without her mother, her second without her dad. Her father passed last year, and her mother back in this passed September. Her mother had a massive heart attack. Her older half-sister is having cancer. My friend says her sister is doing alright, but still, cancer's a big deal.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to go to my former resident area to see her, but I'm not sure if I can be a big enough help to cheer her up. I know what kind of things she loves doing, so we'll do that. I've known her for 12 years, and recently adopted each other as sisters.
I was wondering if anyone will please pray for her, that she gets through Christmas as well as she can, and something will come along to brighten her New Years now that I'm so far from her?
Thanks a bunch, and I'll more than gladly return prayers for you as my way of thanking you.

To let everyone know up front, if there's any thumbs down, they DID NOT come from me!

Santa was very cross. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right.
Mrs. Claus had burned all the cookies. The elves were complaining about not getting paid for the overtime they had while making the toys. The reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were dead drunk. To make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and had crashed it into a tree.
Santa was furious. "I can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a few hours -- all of my reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree! I sent that stupid Little Angel out HOURS ago to find a tree and he isn't even back yet! What am I going to do?"
Just then, the Little Angel opened the front door and stepped in from the snowy night, dragging a Christmas tree. He says, "Yo, fat man! Where do you want me to stick the tree this year?"
And thus, the tradition of angels atop the Christmas trees came to pass....

I want it to mainly be "love songs", not too over the top though. Recent songs would be good, like within the past few years, but I might pick anything as far back as 80's. Rock genre preferred, but doesn't have to be.
