First, thanks for this thread...I always enjoy it.
I have to disagree with your statement that there are more important issues facing the country than abortion. All the issues mentioned are vital. However, IMO, what it boils down to is whether we believe God is distant and impersonal, or right here in our midst, involved with everything we do.
He’s right here, watching and weighing everything we do, and the murder of innocent life might well bring His judgment onto this country. It may already have done so, for all we know.
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica – where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”
“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”
Then, they kick him in the ice hole.
I would just LOVE to see Benidict do that.
The good ol’ days. This trick has never been repeated in modern times. (so they say)
Johnny Carson and Dom DeLuise.

We’ll want a report from any of you that actually try this.
That line has been around for a while. I think it may have originated with George Burns. Another one of his that I have grown to appreciate is “I don’t mind getting older because it sure beats the alternative.”
The emphasis on "feeling" about something that is actually a life-or-death question, tends to trivialize it.
If you think about abortion, though, you will soom realize that unless you are protected from being killed --- and protected simply because you're a human being --- you don't have secure access to a job, a vote, a driver's license, citizenship, a home, a hamburger, or anything else.
A right to life --- to simply go on living --- is logically prior to, and foundational to, every other consideration.
Denial of this right shows a corrupt mind which will relativize and trivialize every other value.
That thought --- not "feeling" --- should help you put things in their proper perspective.
I don’t think I have the testicular fortitude to attempt it!
Carson, DeLuise, and McMahon. We shall not see their like again in our lifetime.
Great one, Sarge! :-D
Hey, does anyone know the breed of dog in the staircase rail pic?
I ask b/c our dog is adopted and has beagle color, but exactly the shape of this dog here in that picture.
PLEASE HELP. We think it might be some sort of terrier??
Thanks for your help!
