You know how those in the Religious Right are constantly directing God to strike down those they don’t like? Isn’t what’s good for one, also good for the other then? Actually, God didn’t strike down the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez or the pro-Roe v Wade Justices. But a couple of years ago he did strike down all the Republican districts in Florida with several hurricanes and then came yesterday.The Washington Post reports that 44 persons died yesterday in storms that swept throughout the South, mostly in the states of Tennessee and Arkansas just hours after those states finished voting for Mike Huckabee to be the Republican candidate for President.I would quit invoking the name of God like the Religious Right keeps doing if I was them. God did say, don’t use his name in vain. Good for us, bad for them if they keep refusing to learn their own lessons. I’ll be okay since I was never going to vote for Huckabee anyways. But if I was a Christian, I’d think twice before pressing that little button for Mike in the future primaries.Peter Nuhn
alatham, I understand your point that the use of “ain’t” is today an indication of ignorance. But it wasn’t always so. A form of the old “an’t” that was once quite respectable.
Also, as Mark Twain said, “Faith is believing what you know ain’t so”.
Doc,i too am a physicist,i am also a biologist,physical therapist,botanist,fatalist,and a radical feminist.I am also considered one of the leading experts in the field of recto-physical flambescence.It is my study in the field of recto-physical flambescense,(which i admire most),that enabled me to come to the conclusion,aided by my expertise in the field of recto-physical flambescence,that you,sir,with all due respect,(because, we who study recto-physical flambescence are nothing if not cordial) have the intelligence quotient of the average bowl of soup.and not alphabet soup,neither.Thank you,oh and also,if you ask for some sort of proof for my conclusions,well,hell,i will not offer them because,well,i clearly stated my numerous qualifications,and if that isnt convincing enough,the fact that i asserted them with superiority and authority should be enough.
Karen,
I think that’s the one.
