The CNN source was the first alert here. The UN cannot &quot;criminalize&quot; anything, nor can it enforce this sort of resolution, &quot;binding&quot; or not. In fact, the democratic nature of the UN...

This would preclude our being an emBODIment of Him, though it might be accepted as meaning we are potentially a reflection of this...

Listing of any or all of them as such would do more to foster such temporal reactions then stem their development. Many people have errantly done evil in the name of God. A just and moral society...

Could this be the start of global warming for us.<br /><br />It is more likely a consequemnce of global warming, which &quot;started&quot; a couple of hundred years ago after the world finished a cooling cycle. What is disturbing about this particular cyle is the speed with which it is occurring and our consciousness of it. Yes, we have contributed to it...

City Council first? Congressman first?<br /><br />I would think it goes from the top down. The wider the area of governorship, the higher in ranking. You would start with the President, the Congress, Senators, Governors, Mayors, Council Members, School Board Trustees, Chairman and work down from there.

Inflation is normally handled by increasing interest rates which decreases the flow of money. Deflation is a somewhat more difficult thing to handle, particularly when the rest of the world views the USD as a currency...

(when you have reasons to do it) or do you think it's helpless & worthless?<br /><br />Cutting is certainly not a healthy thing to do, regardless of how deep you go. As I understand it, some find it relieves tension and anxiety. Reportly this has to do with both emotional and physiological reactions to blood letting and pain. Consequently it can be somewhat addicting particularly...

I am not on any other drugs, but I have to take a drug test. Will I fail? Should I stop taking them before the test?<br /><br />These tests are for illicit drugs the taking of which the testee has no medical justification for.

Is it really common not to wear under clothing with them?<br /><br />No, not many at all. Your question is like asking people in Texas if every guy there wears chaps, cowboy boots and a Stetson. Underwear is a choice, somewhat dependant on the weather, and certainly something only answerable by the kilt wearer or those who hide under sidewalk grates.

We have great health insurance. Advice?<br /><br />I would suggest you see a credit counselor to discuss the financial advisability of taking on more &quot;debt&quot; (aka kids cost money)and what options you might have to lessen it. These would seem to include liquidating what assets you can to lighten your load. You may also be able to...

You cannot do it. * Take care of yourself and your son and honor his mom in front of him, even if you do not feel this way. * Talk to a professional counsellor...

I guess if you and she were unable to come out in public, then perhaps there is more to this story. I would be surprised if she maintains the friendship as it may, for her, be &quot;the dark side&quot;. Some folks never reconcile their sexuality. If you are...

I miss the trust and regard I had for her and being so involved in another&#039;s life. She betrayed our trust and changed her mind about our marriage. She did what was best for her.

Of course as many of us are competively motivated, scoring is a nice thing. The only way of tying a comment and a contributer together is to leave a signature...

Though most of us would prefer that this be limited to parents, siblings and friends, the realty is that once puberty is hit the &quot;love hormones&quot; begin to work.

So who is write on this?<br /><br />In many parts of North America this is now customary, but in most of the rest of the world it is not. I&#039;d say it really depends on what you do, who you are and where you are. If you are 75 and in a nursing home requiring care, it is unlikely they will oblige you not matter what your...

Should I say yes and feel soso about him or say no?<br /><br />Who is paying and what are the expectations if he pays? The unspoken rules are that if he pays, you are open to his trying to see if things will go further.

Are there countries out there just waiting to take over?<br /><br />I suspect it is less a case of others waiting to take over and more one of the US&#039;s having given economic supremacy away in exchange for cheap goods, oil and votes. This has been coming for years. Ironically some of the multi-national companies that the US has housed and fostered have been...
