Well, it's pretty hard for me to imagine that my vote - or your vote - would change the outcome of the election. If it did - if it were that close, there would be a recount which might or might not...

Whether you or I vote for it or against it won't change whether Prop. 37 wins or loses - or it's ultimate effect.

I'm a bit puzzled by your analogy, Jim: that believing in God is like believing some music is beautiful. It seems to me that music is beautiful when I experience it as such and is not a matter of...

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...

I can understand your being uncomfortable with the term "God," Barry. To a very great extent, it refers to some human-mind-contrived concept seeking to relieve other minds from grappling with what is...

Wow, I thought I lost this argument a long time ago. Glad to see it's been on your mind. Let's try this again:

My friend had the same problems with her foam topper, so I was spared that ordeal.

I found a "down" mattress topper at Bed Bath & Beyond (or some such place) and it's great, I think it was around...

Here's a thought. I'm wondering how many sick people among us are sleeping on "Memory Foam" type mattresses?
We finally splurged on a good new mattress this year. I wanted the extra firm, thinking...

Yesterday, I chewed through Heather Irwin's blog (PD Bite Club) about the Farmer's Market issue, plus the reader commentary that follows it, which contains plenty of slings & arrows. I agree with one...

Why is it that no one (aside from Laurel) can talk about this issue without slinging arrows? :boxers:


The letter to the PD is here.

Barry,

For the sake of harmony, I deleted my post, but of course it continues in yours and the former one.
