Re: Ron Paul 2012!
Most companies will ask their employees questions about company direction, policies, or what have you. So will most investment firms. Just because the majority of people ignore these letters sent out to them does not mean that they don't have a say. Getting back to the significance of Dr. Paul, thou...

Re: Metagenetics
The theory of metagenetics is a very complex topic—much more complex than we are led to believe by JeffSinger's argument(s), although much of what he says bears merit. I believe that there is a lot of truth to the theory, although it is obviously imperfect. Much of my own prejudice on this topic has...

Re: Recon?
Bathilde, would you mind expanding on what you mean by "I consider this to be recon"? I think most people tend to think of 'recon' as revivifying something long dead. Obviously, this is not the way you see it. Enlighten us?

Re: Recon?
I don't remember where I read it, but a quote that has always stuck with me was one describing Heathenry as “firm but flexible like an oak; not hard and brittle like a rock”. I see reconstructionism as being the furthest thing from what a Heathen ought to be doing. Instead of trying to re-build or r...

Re: Ron Paul 2012!
I'm not saying that Ron Paul is the "end all/be all"-- don't get me wrong (I'm more of a Barry Goldwater kind of guy), but I do think that the man does deserve a whole lot of respect. Anyone who is struggling for a return to the standards outlined by our Constitution is okay in my book eve...

Re: Happy Woden's Day! Thors day!
Just to add a bit to what you said... The way the Germans originally started adapting Roman day-names to German day-names began as a military fad (which should be no surprise when one considers how many German warriors were employed by the Romans). A military fad occurs when civilians begin using te...

Re: Free Cell Phones for Poor People?
I think this is crazy! The whole notion is based on the premise that owning a cellular telephone is somehow a "right". You know what? People have lived for centuries without cell phone and got along perfectly okay. For that matter, I got rid of my cell phone over a year ago and think it's ...

Re: Ron Paul 2012!
Okay to answer your points first and then your broad question later... Paul's lack of separation of Church & State I disagree with too. But to clarify, he's urging that these questions be answered on the level of local standards to which I don't have a problem. Local standards can be corrected v...

Re: Libertarians
@Anna I agree 100%. But, then, on the other hand, it is also the responsibility of the states to insure that the Federal Government's actions are Constitutional as well—a responsibility most of the states are now to ch*ck*nsh*t to do. @Gangleri Of course that's true. Funny thing, though, is that the...
