In this instance, they declare emotional spasm as logic and science.
Charo identified a common thread running through the concerns of all the participants: the dilemma of basing policy on “truth,” when politicians can manipulate the concept into something that no longer resembles the truth of scientists. “Scientists talk in terms of hypotheses and probabilities,” she pointed out, whereas “politics and law tends to move on the assumption that the case is ‘X’ and we need to base a policy on it.” But troubles arise over who gets to own that truth, she said. In light of the inherent uncertainly of science, she explained, the United States has seen the difference in the treatment of truth used to delay necessary policies, as in the case of global warming. She also pointed to political manipulations of truth that have been used to “justify absolute falsehoods” as in the case of the Terri Schiavo controversy and battles over reproductive rights. She added that “nationally, we’ve seen it blurring the definition of science in the continued attempts to introduce creationism and so-called ‘Intelligent Design’ into the school system.”....

This time, I place the blame for the multiple posts squarely on the WildBlue satellite system. In inclement weather like this morning, my posts hang and I get an indication the data never uploaded. If I leave it alone, it may just sit there forever, blocking all my progress. Then when it finally goes through, it does so in repeats. It is agonizingly slow, and inferior to simple dial up in these circumstances.
June 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Recently, yet another situation similar to that of my sister Terri Schiavo has made headlines. In West Palm Beach, Florida, Raymond Weber is asking the court to dehydrate his disabled wife, Karen, to death.
If you have read any of the reports in mainstream media, it’s just another case of a husband looking out for the “best interest” of his spouse.

Well, gee whiz, BB, it is simple as all get out. We are reaching the full moon and Summer Solstice is just about here. With, as I can imagine, ObamaNation casting its spell new agers and old agers and assorted and sundry critters will cavort. We have to be careful not to trip over them.

I apologize if I misinterpreted what you said.
The FACT remains that while Wikipedia may be a good source of general information on centuries-old historical events, their coverage of contemporary events is decidedly leftist.
Dear Family and Friends, I am writing to you today with a sense of urgency. I am asking that you pray for myself, my unit, and all coalition forces. Some of you may have heard through the news that the Taliban recently had a prison break in Kandahar City. Those reports are accurate.........
