The bible says in Proverbs 6:6 to consider the ways of an ant and be wise. What is it that we can learn from ants?
The ant isn't restricted by words and thoughts of being an independent agent and inherently understands that he is part of the whole and acts accordingly. The lesson to me is that we need to understand that we are far more than just an ego in a bag of skin. We are the Whole. And we should act accordingly.

How important is it for our high office holders to have an accurate understanding of science including evolution - whether they agree with it or not?
The American people don't care about the theory of evolution. They want a leader that understands our failed energy policy and our economy. Good leaders don't alway need to understand things as much as they need to have the skill to find out..That's why they should have a good team of people that are leaders in those particular fields to advise them.

If atheists had their way would they be as tolerant of religion as religion has been tolerant of them?
Atheists have no agenda like the religious and are only bothered when religious people babble on with scripture and how they need to be saved. Atheist don't go out of their way like religious fanatics that come and knock on your door. When was the last time you had an atheist come knocking on your door handing out flyer's and booklets on how to be an atheist.

I don't know where you get the idea that 9/11 is just a New York thing. It happened in NY, but was an assault against the whole Nation. We don't celebrate it. We have a memorial about it.It's percussions were felt throughout the Country, if not the world.

If you think generating nuclear energy is unsafe you may want to consider the fact that it is a lot more friendly to the environment than coal fired generation...

Why did McCain vote to defund solar energy and push for use of unsafe nuclear power?
Solar energy isn't ever going to be a major source of energy. On the other hand, Nuclear Power Plants that are now very safe can replace all our coal and oil fueled energy plants and help cut down on CO2, a major greenhouse gas, and lessen our oil dependency. Nuclear Energy is by far one of the cleanest and effective ways to go. Just look at Europe and Japan.

Anyone with a swimming pool use those chlorine tablets that go in the little floaty thing instead of liquid chlorine? How do you use these and are you happy with them?
The tabs are better than the liquid. The liquid has a Ph of about 13 and when you use it you will have to keep adding muriatic acid to help keep the pool balanced. The tabs can last up in one week or longer when put in one of the floats you need to put in your pool. You don't need to remove this float when people are in the pool, but is recommended if kids are in so they don't play...

My mother passed away two years ago leaving her house to me through a will. I sold the house last year fr $76,500 minus $11,000 for repairs, etc. Is this amount taxable? The whole thing or just partial? It was inherited. Thanks.
On the day she died it had a value. That value is the passed on value of the house to you. It may have increased in value but really doesn't mater since you automatically have a $250,000 exclusion on the sale. You didn't make anymore than that, so you owe no tax, although you are required to report the sale on your 1040.
