Jbox: Could be, who knows. With dna testing so sophisticated these days I suppose we could find out.:wink:

Some years ago I did a not very systematic study of isolationism as a foreign policy in...

This is an interesting thread. First, to address the direct question of the thread; I oppose new sanctions on Iran. I also oppose the old sanctions on Iran. So I guess that makes me consistent.

Armstrong Woods

My fav'rite place on earth is Armstrong Woods.
Old growth groves of redwoods are very rare,
A slower flow of time is present there,
The constant cool and stillness of the air...

Finally someone else who really understands!!!

I'm at peace in the early morning hours;
That's why I like to wake up at sunrise,
Or, even better, a few hours before.
When I go for a walk there is a glow
That slowly grows at the horizon's edge...

In a dream I was standing on the moonhttps://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/keep90days/2013-12-20_13-35-37.png
Watching the earth rise on a field of stars.

Thanks, Fillie, for your thoughtful response. Years ago I did an experiment. When I went to parties I wouldn't drink; instead I would just quietly observe. Often I was the only person at the...

Good Morning:

This post is partly a response to several posts here at Wacco regarding the conversion of forests into grape cultivation for the production of wine. I am thinking of the Hobbs...

Like a cataract that pulls the current
Far upstream where we drift lazily and,

Unaware of the rapids and...

Good Morning Clint:

I'm not convinced that labelling our experience is a problem. If I see a rose and call it a 'rose' I don't see that as a difficulty. Similarly, I don't see why I should be...

A few thoughts from a theist:

There are really excellent works, both modern and ancient, that illuminate the case for the existence of God. I've spent a lot of time reading them. I still think...

My observations on Ron Paul, for what they are worth:

It seems that RP has been remarkably silent about his strategy. I have read interpretations widly at variance with each other. All of these...

As I noted in another thread, I've voted for third parties in the past. So I'm agreeable to the general view expressed here regarding third parties. However, I think it is worth considering that...

A quick comment on 3rd parties. I've voted for third parties in the past and don't consider the votes wasted. But I have to admit that I've only voted for 3rd parties when I considered the election...

Good Morning:

I'd like to second the previous poster. I think he is attending fundraising events all over the county. I can't see anything wrong with this one as it is just one of many. It...
