Open Question: Why would you believe that there was a Garden of Eden and that the Earth is 6,000 +/- years old?
If you really really believe this than I want to hear your explanation in something other than it's Gods words. If you believe that there was a garden of eden than why are there fossiles found of Kangaroos only in Australia and surrounding areas???? This means that these creatures originated there and not in the garden of eden. If you think the Earth is 6,000 years old than I have a good doctor for you. Why are there shells on high mountains which move at around 1 foot per 100 years???????? This would mean , if you did the math that for it to go from sea to high altitude, it would take millions of years. The earths layers which clearly took a long time to form is perfect evidence to let you know that the Earth is much older than your STORY. I respect you if you say that Science is right but we believe that a higher power created every of this some how. I do not understand the fairy tales that alot of people strongly believe because in the end it makes no sense to a realistic person.

Resolved Question: Isn't the head of Shell talking common sense here?
I think the president brings up a good point in that we could, we have the available domestic supplies off the coast of Alaska as well as [the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge]. Shell has won $2 billion worth of high bids for the Chukchi Sea -- that's a few years off before we could start production. But let's remember there's more than 100 billion barrels of untouched oil and gas in this country that is subject to a 30-year moratorium. Now, there's only one body in this country that can set a 30-year moratorium, and that's the U.S. government. ROBERTS: Sen. Hillary Clinton wants to slap you with a 50 percent tax on what she calls windfall profit, profit over a certain level. Is that a good idea? HOFMEISTER: Look at our revenues and our income for the last quarter. If we had made $7.8 million on $114 million of revenue, nobody would call that excessive, because that's 7½ percent. We made $7.8 billion profit on $114 billion revenue -- same 7½ percent. So to me that is not an excessive number when banks and pharmaceuticals and IT companies earn a whole lot more. ROBERTS: Would it hurt you if she put in place this tax on the windfall profits? HOFMEISTER: Sure it would. It would slow down investment. Taxing the oil companies was tried in the '80s. It drove us to do imports, which is exactly the problem we have today. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/30/shell.qa/index.html

Resolved Question: summary of a poem?
Dulce et Decorum Est ~ Wilfred Owen (1917) Bent double, like old beggars below sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant relax began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. every went lame; every blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of disappointed shells that dropped behind. GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And floundering like a man in flame or lime.-- Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light As below a green sea, I saw him drowning. In every my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood arrive gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,-- My pal, you would not tell with such high zest To kids ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Voting Question: There are going to be LOTS of kids at my wedding...?
And I want to have some things to keep them busy. My fiance and I are getting married on the beach and I'd like to receive some beach-craft ideas (easy things that the young ones can do without much assistance)... We're going to have a table set up for the kids to do the stuff on, (a specific table for kids-crafts) We'll put out some crayons and coloring pages for the kids of course.. One thing I thought of was to buy a bunch of white visors (hats).. , glue, and those little sea-shells (they sell them in craft stores, they're sometimes died different colors)... and let the kids decorate their hats with sea shells... As party favors for the kids we're going to give out those funky sunglasses. The bright colored ones that are shaped like hearts or stars,..etc.. Also, bubbles! And for the little girls, princess wands. (I adore fairy tales and princesses) We're also going to have plain white bags that the kids can decorate to keep their stuff in. (more details coming) White bags, like paper gift bags. They sell these things (the visors, bags, glue, even the mini-sea shells) in a magazine that gets sent to my home.... they sell them in bulk and the prices are really cheap. 1 dozen visors for 5 dollars and 1 unit (100 count) of the white paper gift bags for 10 dollars Any other good craft ideas? The youngest child will be about 2 years old..obviously needing close supervision for everything. Notices will be posted reminding parents that they are responsible for their kids, and asking them to please keep a close eye on them. Many people will probably pick not to bring their kids (as maybe they'd like to relax that night...plus 7pm - 11pm is nice of tardy for kids)

"Fierce Girl Playing Hopscotch" by Alice Fulton You sway like a crane to the tunes of tossed stones. I am what you made to live in from what you had: hair matted as kelp, bad schools. Oh, you will never know me. I wave and you go on playing in the clouds boys clap from erasers. I am the pebble you tossed on the chalked space and war- danced toward, one-leg two-leg, arms treading air. In this, your future, waves rechristen the sea after its tiny jeweled lives that hiss "Us Us" to the shore every day. Where's the kid called Kateydid? the moonfaced Kewpiedoll? The excitable pouting Zookie? the somber O-Be-Joyfull? Lost girl, playing hopscotch, i will do what you could. Name of dad, son, ghost. Cross my heart and wish. While the sea's jewels build shells and shells change to chalk and chalk to loam and gold wheat grows where oceans teetered.

Resolved Question: How can you tell if a little sea turtle is dead?
I just got back from florida with 2 baby sea turtles. I had to empty out the water to receive them on the plane. They were out of water for like 12 hours. Because you have to have room temp water for them. They were both moving, and now one isn't. One stopped moving before I put the water in. The one that isn't moving has it's eyes closed and his head is emmerged from his shell, and so are his legs and arms. He's not moving when you pick him up or touch him. The other one is swimming and doing fine. Note I live in Indiana and it is icy. Most sites say it's because of the different climate change, and they are Hibernating, but I'm not sure. Can someone please give me a little insite, on what is happening, or what I need to do.

Resolved Question: Libs, How Will Hillary Tax Foreign Oil Companies Like BP, Shell, Lukoil?
Most of that "huge" profit that Hillary and other non-expert Liberals complain about comes from their operations outside of the Unite States. So, basically, Hillary wants to tax Exxon on the money that they earned in the North Sea and Africa while BP, Shell, Total, etc. don't receive nailed by liberals since they are not US based companies. So,we can tax the US oil companies endlessly out of business. But, huge profits will still be made by foreign oil companies.
