"For instance, you have preachers talking in great detail about sexual issues, ranging from programs to have “sex every day for seven days” to more extreme versions in which they speak very graphically about specific sexual acts from the pulpit.

The cussing preacher

Then you have the “Cussing Preacher” syndrome. The pastor thinks it’s cool to use profanity in the pulpit so people will see him as one of them."

A historic opportunity in St. Pete - Let is us not repeat History

 This was the plan, reading and bringing myself up to speed knowledge wise is still in progress. My commentary of this situation is not to repeat redlining practices of old. Synergy, compromise and collaboration amongst the tax payers, private interest, state, county and city serving & working together to get this done right. We have the right leaders in place at the right time; the people have provided the political will and support for expansion now whom is leading the way forward? And I have no money interest in the outcome either way. - A.T. Yoda Brooks

"This legislation admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so as not to upset the balance between slave and free states in the nation. It also outlawed slavery above the 36º 30' latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory.

With the purchase of the Louisiana Territory and the application of Missouri for statehood, the long-standing balance between the number of slave states and the number of free states would be changed. Controversy arose within Congress over the issue of slavery.

Congress adopted this legislation and admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so that the balance between slave and free states in the nation would remain equal.

The Missouri Compromise also proposed that slavery be prohibited above the 36º 30' latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory. This provision held for 34 years, until it was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional in its Dred Scott v. Sandford decision.

The document featured here is the conference committee's report on the Missouri Compromise."

Defining Closed Systems - Science Partnering with Faith 

"A closed system is a natural physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, although – in the contexts of physics, chemistry, engineering, etc. – the transfer of energy (e.g. as work or heat) is allowed.

An example would be A classic example of a closed system is a sealed thermos bottle containing hot coffee, where no matter can enter or leave, but energy (heat) can be exchanged with the surroundings. "

Conservative Democrats Perhaps or Crazy Republicans

 Conservative Democrats Perhaps or Crazy Republicans. That is the question.

My leanings are more  progressive but I did listen to Mr. William F. Buckley Jr. without turning off the TV or radio. I love America. Will I get in trouble for speaking up and out? Maybe the fuck I will. Standing on our Rights as Americans any day! Look him up even thought he was coined a prejudice person on some issues; he was spot on regarding economics.
