| Hello Al... The subject matter is sad, but I see this video as a statement against war, actually. The final verse is hopeful. The lust of war is in the heart and the roots are strong and deep.

What really matters most is that you have become a reader/student yourself. Thanks for sharing your story. Finding that personal connection with our heavenly F... |

Welcome Bottom Feeder!

| If Jim would only list these contradictions of his as personal opinions and beliefs that would be one thing. Actually, in my view, the essay by definition encompasses personal opinions and beliefs: An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument, but the definition i... |

His claims are dangerous rhetoric which contradicts the UB which he claims to represent. He elevates his own standing and his own authority and he presumes to understand God's will an... |
