| I wonder which of the following is accurate: The suspect, a 17-year-old Malden resident who police say hurled a rock through one of the memorial’s six glass towers shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, said only “okay, okay,” when the bystanders caught up with him, MacDonald said. https://www.bostonglobe.co... |

| This makes sense and jibes with my life experience. Around 1995 my physician directed me to leave the telecom I worked for and get only low stress jobs from that point on because, quote, "The part of you which processes anything more than minimal stress is gone, burned out, simply not there any... |

| I want to give and receive no credit or praise for it. Sorry, I'm not giving you what you want there :wink: And, actually, I'm not sorry about doing that. :wink: Having a plan - and most importantly taking action on it! - is a good thing. The only way to find out if it succeeds is to go find out if... |

| My answer to the question of Why? goes deep in to the spiritual realm of the contest between God and not God.Which is probably a belief shared by so few that I probably shouldn't have bothered taking the time to mention it. Basically, that which is not God gets its jollies from mocking, distorting, ... |

| Do most Americans know that Trump is putting the whole world at risk of nuclear war? I'm not impressed by him, didn't vote for him, and yet I'm not convinced of that. Part of the reason I'm not convinced is media's habit of selling fear, mainstream and non-mainstream media both: fear triggers emoti... |

| Red herring probably is not quite the perfect characterization: I, believing in Jesus and the Bible, think the science versus the Bible argument is at least a bit of a red herring. The Bible is not about science, and I don't see it as even pretending to be, it is about being , and doing the experien... |

| Why can't the media let go of Trump? 1. Releases the energy of their repressed outrage. 2. They realized it gets clicks and views and sales which pay the light bill and their salaries. Am I the only one who thinks the same about this? Unknown. If the question were, "Am I the only one who think... |
