And Now For The Second Half Of February, Assorted Status Updates And Comments

Not of mine, but ones that I've read that I especially liked because of the wording or how it spoke to me at a particular time as I read it. The writers of these statuses and comments have had their names redacted, of course. Normally I would hold off on this until tomorrow, but tomorrow will be my daughter Sarah's eighth birthday and on Fridays my Ensign devotionals take priority too. So here you go, what I've collected up to now since February 16, 2014 – but first, the thirteenth point of a series I will conclude tomorrow (which I hope my frequent readers have figured out by now)! For we who don't learn from history WILL repeat it! 

 

Stay awesome, David

An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.

7. I believe it's time for 'The Book'. My son and I want to tell people together what it's been like and what it's yet like to live with bi-polarism. I'm tired of being the bad guy when it's not even me talking. He's tired of it too.

8. Q is not amoral. He's actually quite moral; thus, his obsession with humans and their moral codes. He is not a villain. He is a theatrical foil; he emphasizes the traits and desires of human beings (in space).

31. You can't appreciate having peace until you've been robbed of it. I have no clue how a vile of depression and discouragement ended up in my system but I served the enemy up a keg of the same thing he slipped me -LOL!!! As I slept last night, I had a YET praise!

he is not my favorite, but after reading him slowly, I find he helps me see Christianity, Nature/evolution, humanity, with a wonder ambiguity and an almost childlike clarity--I recommend him to all.

I like to read adventure books, write long stories, and I love my language arts teacher - even though she is kind of scary sometimes."

39. The brouhaha in Arizona over the right of a business establishment to refuse service to someone on the grounds that their sexual orientation violates the business owner’s religious beliefs misses the point.

The focus on gays only obfuscates the real issue — that a business owner has a natural right to refuse service to ANYONE. Why? Because it’s his property, and no one has a right to tell a business owner what he can and cannot do with his property.

The marketplace is the most ruthless enforcer on earth. If an employer refuses to hire or serve people purely on a discriminatory basis, he does so at his own peril, because the marketplace will surely punish him.

I’m adamantly against all forms of discrimination, but I respect someone else’s right to discriminate — even though I may find their actions to be reprehensible — because I believe that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives.
