Did you know that, mathematically, once you get back 33 generations, that each one of us in the whole world are related?
This is irrefutable, mathematic fact.
Think of it as diamond shaped. you, the individual, are the bottom point. Then it starts widening with your 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great g'parents, etc. The further you go, and it increases fast, you will start to see the same couple appear in your line more than once.
For example, In the line of my 8th great-great parents, I have 5 lines back to one couple, 4 lines back to another, etc. And I, and you, and everyone, has over 4,000 "grand parent" in that generation - and the equal number of ancestors from ourselves back to that generation. So after a few more generations back, the number of "repeat" couples starts to bring the diamond shape back until it gets to the one common ancestor of us all. That one person has been genetically tracked by the scientists - it is a woman, and they nicknamed her "Eve".
So we are, literally, all brothers and sisters. So when we fight for one - anyone = we fight for family.
Stop judicial tyranny and stop the filibusters.
When I went to a pro-life meeting this evening, they had postcards for us to send to our U.S. senators.
If you call your U.S. Senators, tell them you want them to vote to end filibusters by a simple majority as the Constitution requires.
Should the Senate fail to conform to the Constitution's rule of a simple majority, a minority of 40 liberal Senators can use the filibuster to force their agenda on every American. Get your friends to call.
The NEW toll-free number is 1-877-762-8762! If that's busy, you can call this toll number (202-224-3121) or call
your U.S. senators at their individual numbers (or contact them by FAX).
Ask to speak with your Senator. When finished leaving your message, call your other Senator.

There is a formula, and I THINK it goes like this:
If you e-mail, it counts it as 10 voters.
If you call, it counts it as 50 voters.
If you write a letter, it counts it as 100 voters.
If you go in person, it counts it as 500 voters.
I think I have the formula down, but please correct me if I am wrong.
This is irrefutable, mathematic fact.
Nonsense. There are societies that have existed apart from each other for over 1,000 years. The members of such societies would have no common ancenstors within the previous 33 generations.
I did know that, but science/math can confuse/confound my brain, which is more of a analytical/writing brain....and, therefore, when I get confounded by math processes, I forget these kinds of things. : )
That one person has been genetically tracked by the scientists - it is a woman, and they nicknamed her "Eve".
Is this a joke? I never heard about this. Who do they presume this person is...where do they trace the originating "eve" (of course, I'm sure it's in the Middle East somewheres). I would be interested reading this type of thing...are there any threads regarding such? (Not the evolution threads, I don't like those threads.)
Of course, I know we are all family, but I'm just pointing out the callousness I see exhibited by those who worry about just their own immediate family and don't really care about those not related to them, or their lack of concern about strangers.
