Indeed, "You shall not commit murder" was authored by the Author of us all. Catechism of the Catholic Church 2270: Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. - Jeremiah 1:5; cf. Job 10:8-12; Psalm 22:10-11 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth. - Psalm 139:15.

me/you: here's the definition which I googled. It represents what I feel/believe. I don't want to get involved in a great debate over formal definitions and parsing of meaning. I simply DO NOT KNOW. here's that definition: ag·nos·tic aɡˈnästik/ noun noun: agnostic; plural noun: agnostics 1. a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.' If they need a "poster child" for this definition, I've already applied. regards, Gary Crum

"Ladbrokes, a British gambling company, offers a market for bets that the president will resign or be impeached before the end of his first term. On Sunday, that market implied that the chance of such an outcome was 55 percent. At Paddy Power, an Irish competitor running hundreds of markets related to the Trump presidency, the implied probability of impeachment was 40 percent."

Good point. Defense witnesses are chosen by defendants' attorneys for their ability to "sell" alternative theories of the charges. They may not be accurate at all, but if the prosecution isn't prepared to counter their presentations, jurors might easily be misled. I don't know if this was the case in this trial, but if the prosecution relied entirely on the expertise of state investigators, who may have done a competent job, as seems from trial coverage, rather than looking at the histories of those experts on the defense list, and challenging prior insufficiencies, this was a very expensive mistake. I've seen one former public defender, Nelson Traverso of Fairbanks, get an honest judgment in a false confession case via a stellar witness. Even he couldn't save the guilty "Shaffer" Cox, however. Prosecutors also may rely on faked forensic testimony. Check this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Krone It cost Ray 11 years, and Phoenix/Maricopa county and Arizona over $5 million.

Trump is not against trade as is the constant accusation against him. He is against unfair trade. America has been killing its own industrial base and related jobs by shipping production to third world countries. But Americans are still expected to buy the products back from those countries as if nothing changed. Those armies of fry cooks, and check out clerks at Walmart could have had better lives producing those goods if not for 50 years of unfair trade with Japan, Korea and China. America's standard of living is falling.

The truth does hurt. This is why Clinton will never be vetted by the public media concerning the following: 1. Abortion of innocent babies 2. Sexual Deviance Supporter 3. Globalist even when it removes our freedoms for the pursuit of wealth. 4. Liar (should not be trusted with a security clearance). Enough said. She does not even qualify to be president. End of story. However, the liberal public media will never cover these issues. The liberal media was bright, smiley and cheerful when they covered the democratic convention. The liberal media was sarcastic, disrespectful and interrupting Trumps speech with commercials when he would talk about big issues with Hillary. However, the country is primed to have a socialist society without God where emotion reigns (do what feels right) and they will fail in the long term. Once the experiment is over they will scratch their heads wondering why they drank that koolaid.

Interesting piece. The idea the strikes me as very important is the role of skepticism or more specifically not accepting evidence until it is proven to the best level we are capable of today. Some of the heros of science were skeptics. Galileo had the misfortune of clueing into the fact the Earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around. For this he was imprisoned. Today we accept his contribution to our knowledge base without doubt. So if people want to be skeptical about this new-fangled idea of man created massive atmospheric effects perhaps it no different than Galileo's reception to his proposal causing us to rethink ancient beliefs. Human's do fundamentally hate to change their beliefs or behavior. But at some point the preponderance of evidence does have to be considered and only a jury willing to really study it will be able to make that call. So go out, invent a telescope, make endless observations, produce undeniable results and get back to us on this "hoax"...

Our understanding of truth has to be progressive or we would never grow or learn. That is a big problem to many in comprehending the writings of our pioneers and founders when they talk about their world as it was then. This has to be progressive as the ways of evangelizing must be. But too often we are stuck in the past century. Now Truth as it is in Jesus doesn't change but we come to understand Him better as we grow spiritually and this must include prayer and study as spiritual disciplines. We must choose what we feed our minds to grow in the spirit.

We understand witnesses and Senator doing the questioning. It is the absence of manners and respect in these hearings.

In my opinion, it is totally personal choice what one will wear and not. If anyone feel comfortable with loose clothing or skin tight wearing, its completely the person's individual preference. There are also many people who love to go around without any clothing and there are also many culture where people wear full clothing without showing even any body part. While practicing Yoga, the practitioners need to wear comfortable dresses and some find the loose dresses comfortable though I think some leggings and t-shirts or tang top is more comfortable. The main thing should be focused on comfort. Nara http://www.anamayaresort.com

If you want homes to come to their real value in Canada in relation to its population, then there is only one way to do it. Only allowed primary residencies, with one vacation home. (per person/couple based on marital status) This will destroy all current value, stop any speculative investors and strip all foreign money from the price. This will make it easy to go out and buy a proper home, but what is the down side? High level? Angry investors and unlikely developers.... ( I would play a violin or them)

Actually, the Canadian industry already was at a serious competitive disadvantage, courtesy of the Obama administration. While pressuring Canada to implement new regulations on methane release, Obama conveniently overlooked the unregulated and unmeasured flaring and venting of billions of cubic feet of natural gas, every day, from the Bakken fields in North Dakota. Also, Trudeau was too stupid to point out that Alberta was already a world leader in flare gas (so called waste gas) reduction, and had been for over decade. Even if Clinton had been elected, there would have been exemptions and delayed timetables for implementation by Americans, who, along with the rest of the oil and gas producing world, have played Canada for suckers. As pointed out in a Fortune article, the fact that Obama waited until after Trudeau killed Northern Gateway to stop Keystone was no coincidence: it kept Canadian oil hostage and gave Obama great optics. And, Junior got a State Dinner for his trouble.

This is how you become Chicago, Detroit, Hartford or any of the other Democratic led cities that are staving off bankruptcy. In boom times instead of setting aside funds for a rainy day you have leadership that keeps borrowing and expanding bottomless pit social programs. The Hancock Administration seems to announce a new billion dollar spending plan weekly. Tear down the performing Arts Center and rebuild it with condos. Sink miles of I-70 underground. Turn the City Park golf course into a storm run-off pond. Line streets with bike lanes instead of parking. Renovate a perfectly fine airport terminal into a shopping mall. Build more dormitories for the homeless. Don't worry Mayor - between the parking ticket patrols, the odds of getting shot by gang bangers and the army of homeless beggars Denver is already taking steps to reduce traffic into the city. Within ten years the millennials who have been flooding into downtown will be fleeing to the suburbs - or more affordable cities.
