Actions always speak louder than words. The action I saw was world wide celebrations by the muslums as the towers were collapsing and people were diving out of windows. What I see so far is a general lack of action by the so called moderate Muslims which speak volumes to me. Also, how about the very real intolerance and incompatibility of Sheria law with our Constitution and the Imam's intention of incorporating it here? Every cancer starts somewhere but this is one we need not give a foot hold. When I can build a Christian church in Medina or Mecca then I will start to listen. Actions always speak louder than words.

Hate to break it to you, but "voting" isn't going to fix how stores function. Seeing as how you are going to be a new father, I can gladly say that you will soon learn that ANY break money wise is a welcome deal, to you $20 difference may be nothing, but to the rest of us who have been at this for awhile, it's a huge difference. And voting..... hmmm..... yeah we all see how that fixes everything... especially since people who vote are only voting based on what the media says instead of doing any research on candidates. Good luck on fatherhood, and welcome to a world where soon you won't have time to worry over anything but the baby. tax free weekend is nothing new and to parents buying school supplies it really does come in handy, because not only are there no taxes to worry about on all these items, many stores actually put on bigger sales.

And for the sake of progress HE keeps letting us peek under the veiled curtain of existence but without fail always with the proviso that things as we understand them will become more beautiful along with the increased complexity. I submit the double helix as a trivial example. Our understanding of Science, particularly Physics has always been limited at any given point in history by our mathematical prowess as human beings . Some scarce few humans are blessed with the necessary extraordinary gray matter and thereby they have the advantage over us. They have the vision and the capability to imagine alternative ways of looking at things, Their abilities include creating theories of their own or in cooperation with other smart people that corresponds to their concepts for predicting the performance of natural phenomena supported by a consistent set of mathematics that unequivocally support them in all testable areas. The development of modern computers has been an accelerating factor in the expansion of our knowledge. Educated people can understand at some level what they are talking about, others just accept popular opinion as "truth" along with advances and changes as they occur, so long as they are generally approved by most of the science community. Still others don't have the foggiest idea what is being explained to them and still others haven't the slightest interest in Physics and know and care next to nothing about it. I would be very careful about equally weighting the opinions of all the people responding to a poll on the subject of GOD/Faith vs Science. Besides, opinions don't create truth. Thomas Carlyle once said "I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance" If you are even slightly knowledgeable about measurements in Physics you know that just the attempt to discern a physical fact can change the results. Well give us credit for at least being aware of our influence on our own experiments. The new CERN Collider is our latest attempt by man to probe GOD'S plan. It is so large it crosses international borders all in an effort to find a particle type that was theorized back in 1964 called the "Higgs boson" It cost a fortune to build this thing and I hope it works because it will, as has each surprising experimental result in the past added to our knowledge. I am sure the Collider will raise more questions than it answers. And so we continue on our journey of evolution and understanding. From Einstein's original four dimensional model (3 space + time., back in 1907) we are now at ten dimensions plus time which makes it 11 total dimensions. Even The Big Bang is now in question by the Membrane and string theorists. So I ask the simple question, are scientists starting to become convinced that they will never find all the answerers and will finally be forced in the end to rely at some point, can I use the word, on FAITH. I submit they will have to, the Universe is too big and we can no longer afford their new toys.
