OSLO/LONDON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Investments to help fight climate change can also spur economic growth, rather than slow it as widely feared, but time is running short for a trillion-dollar shift to transform cities and energy use, an international report said on Tuesday. The study, by former...

And what does that have to do with what I posted?

And I responded with all the other religious figures, including Hammurabai, who are portrayed there, all of whom are noted in the article. Authorities? Trying scanning the Constitution with Ctrl+F and look for references to the Bible or the 10C. As for swearing an oath on the bible, what does...

Really. I suggest we go back to leaded gasoline and lakes that catch fire.

You'll remember that the religious right likes to stick its fingers in its ears and sing LaLaLa. Should I point out the lack of evidence that Moses even existed? Probably not.

None of which has anything to do with whether or not the bible is the original source of American law.

Well, he's had 39,321 tries . . .

Which in turn drew from religious laws that predated biblical law by thousands of years, which is one of the points of the OP. So, no the bible is not the original source of American law.

Like all politicians. One wonders, for example, why Scott Brown can't just go out and get a real job. And go get a job and get off welfare . . .

Not only are Stu's remarks supported (by history), they are on topic. Yours, on the other hand . . .

Your perceptual filters are really remarkable. First, whether or not the majority of colonies had "ties to religion" has nothing to do with whether or not the bible is the original source of American law. Second, the original colonists -- with the exception of the Puritans -- did not flee here...

Actually, there has. It's been being absorbed by the ocean, specifically the North Atlantic.

And you may be right. And FWIW I agree with you. However, it's important to remember that there are other important variables beyond local vs state/federal control. The federal govt, for example, pours tons of money into education, but the results are less than encouraging. The schools get worse...

Want to understand why it's so hard to win the most basic gun safety reform? Here's how the debate so often goes I volunteer for Nebraskans Against Gun Violence, a grass-roots organization seeking to reduce gun casualties by calling for an increase in the “responsible” part of “responsible gun...

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was pushed primarily as a way to extend health insurance coverage. This was, and is, an important goal. However, another important aspect of the ACA is its impact on the labor market. The vast majority of people who are below Medicare age get their insurance...

Whether the funding is state or local, however, may not be the determining variable. Don't be disappointed if you get local funding and nothing changes.

With Winter Fast Approaching, Three Governors Slash Funding for Heat and Food For some U.S. families, the winter can bring hard economic choices. Heat is a major seasonal expense for those living in cold climates, and many struggling to get by on government assistance or poverty-level wages...

Given that he made such a point of being around for 7.5 hours, I assumed he was "active". If not, why hang around for 7.5 hours? I don't even know if he trades or not. Don't care. I didn't bring the subject up, largely because this forum has nothing to do with trading. All that is upstairs. And...

Given his comment that he was online from 0900 to 1630 and that the market was OPEN :rolleyes:, I assumed that he was trading. If he was online only to chat, then I was mistaken.
