I don't think jojoberg was 'blaming' Oblabama. I think he was pointing out the coincidence of it. I also think the true cause is human evil, but also that the liar in Chief is in fact ... evil. Just my opinion based on observation. dc

I don't really have any anymore. Tho' the way some of these kids use like 18 times in each sentence can drive me nuts. My neighbor had one. Articulate. To join together at a point. To form a joint. The joint is the articulation. He was always rankled when he heard that one. He couldn't accept that one. Of course, then, I tried to wedge it into many a sentence. I still don't think he's over it. dc

The beloved leader of whom you speak is a moslum. It's in his book. He states that in a confrontation with islam he sides with islam. dc

Yes, Gator, but that is included of my definition of insanity. And as to insanity, possession, or just plain evil, I accept no excuses for their behavior and make no excuses for them. Death penalty, and swiftly so, I say. But who listens to me. dc Let me add: Maybe there is a cure. Death penalty. That will cure them, I say.

Same thing happened to me a few months ago, on the way to San Diego. I pulled over, changed the tire, and went on. dc

I guess what the question is is how do they cure insanity, or prevent it. I don't think it can ever be done. dc

Well, ScDoyle and his mother in law have one more day to go down there to see the new Temple, and what I'm sayin' is it ain't far for them to go. dc

17 miles. Or as they say here, 15 minutes. Some people go further than that to go to the supermarket. dc

Chula Vista? You are only a few blocks from the Temple in Chula Vista. Anyway, I just got back. I went down last night and stayed in San Ysidro. And this morning drove over. It is a most beautiful Temple, and as usual, has been done first class all the way by the Church. It appears new, but has a Spanish/Mexican style to it with thick walls and all wood doors and trim. And all quality wood, just beautiful construction all the way. Very reminiscent of the old missions or buildings. The interior did remind me a bit of the Payson Temple, sort of the newest style interior. In February I'll have to compare the Provo Center Temple interior. But it appears they use a similar theme or color scheme. And murals. Murals all around and many large landscapes, all suggestive of the area of Mexico, but with no development. There were a sufficient number of missionary sisters there. But not a lot of volunteers. Nothing like Payson where there was a volunteer every 5 or 10 feet. It is a smaller Temple, I didn't look at square footage or such details, but smaller. With only 25,000 members there to serve, it ought to be adquate. The visitors appeared to be high percentage of church members. Looking at license plates, they all appeared to have Mex plates, but many were American, or if Mexican, seemed to speak perfect English. So I don't know where they were coming from. Appeared to be members: They all had suits and ties, even dressing the kids in suit and tie or at least white shirt and tie in the parking lot. The Temple is in a fair neighborhood, it looked like a fairly adequate area. The property is circled by a high spiked fence of thick metal design, most beautiful. With plenty of parking, with a courtyard with a fountain. The adjacent buildings will house apartments so there will be a presence at all times. Landscaping was excellent, just beautiful. I came back thru' Tecate where I had lunch. Most enjoyable. dc

Well Mormon Gator I'm glad I'm not the only one who chimed in like that. I also thought I might add that you (and maybe Cap. Oinker? as well?) have forgotten your farm boy roots. And become one of those urban effete that can't do things. Or is is effete urban ... something or other. I have a professional graduate degree and worked in offices all my life as a "professional", and there is nothing I like more than a vehicle to take apart, take out the motor and rebuilt it, or anything else on it, and more so a motorcycle. Change the oil, change the clutch, it's all a joy for me to do. dc

The expression used to be, it's easy to see who wears the pants in that family. But we don't say that any more. dc

Pray. dc

Vort! That's the suit the guy at the circus wears. I don't know if he's the circus owner, the circus ringleader, or the ticket taker. But that's the suit. NightSG I think also that would be the perfect suit to wear to visit the circus, also, but you won't like what the clowns will do to you once they see the suit. dc

NightSG No, no, no, a thousand times no. You make my eyes hurt. I saw two missionaries on a street corner talking to someone today. White shirt and tie. In May I saw two in Manti, on the street. White shirt and tie. In recent months, I have seen at least 3 pair walking down the street at various times. White shirt and tie. Going back thru' memory, I don't recall ever seeing anything other than white shirt and tie, for many years. Maybe it's just Los Angeles. dc

Funny how that works out, isn't it? But also funnier still that they are still at least partially sane enough to realize that. dc

I think you need to read more of the Quran. dc

Doriette We do not possess or hold the psychological dementia or insanity that these perpetrators hold, so it is impossible for us to ever understand these acts. dc

Praise the Lord, Prison Chaplain. I'm glad to see that there are at least two churches left on this earth that believe and understand the truth as to what the real psychological disorder is. dc

Anatess Thanks for your video there. Modern American Liberal = Modern American Airhead. dc

These attacks make sense to a madman. The attacks make sense to the madmen that perpetrate them. But they are not rational or logical to a sane person. The attackers are not "legally insane" in a criminal law sense. They are still responsibile for their actions, and full well understand that their actions are against our laws. They just don't subscribe to our laws. dc

No. Emotion does not equal rationality. dc

In California to be an attorney you have to pass a test, at 70%. California is liberal, you only have to know 70% of it. I suppose it's the same for doctors. 70% is good enough. Accountants, I think it's higher, 75, 80 or 90% or it used to be, but that's a national test. Do you believe God is a liberal, that he will accept 70% of the 10 Commandments? You only have to obey 70%? I doubt it. And area 70 described at Stake Conference last week, take a paper cup when you are bbqing. It will burn in the fire. Fill another paper cup half full of water. It will also burn in the fire. But fill it 100% full and it won't burn. I think God is the same way. 100% or nothing. A conservative. Not to follow the philosophy of man, but to adhere to a policy of strict construction, of complete compliance or adherence. I think religion is a test where you have to have 100% to pass. Now, I understand that there are other churches out there that don't believe that, because they want more members, or because they are 'liberal' or whatnot. I call them 'easy churches'. Once you are 'saved' that's all it takes. Just show up on Sunday and you're good to go. It seems to me this church is not like that. That there's more to it than that. dc

Quoting yjacket "There are very, very rational reasons why they do the things they do." You confuse ration with dementia, insanity, psychosis, anti social acts with dysfunctional results. dc

That's what I gave. Advice. Call it a lecture on advice if you will, but it's just that. Advice. dc

I understand that things are different. And I think what I say is needed in the scenario. The biggest thing that has changed is the attitude. It used to be if you didn't have the money to do something, you didn't do it. Until you earned and saved the money to do it. Like go to college. Now, the attitude is, just borrow the money. And so young people go far into debt. I see the college students and graduate students coming out of school 100's of thousands in debt. In this yes, very changed economy how on earth do they ever expect to pay off that much debt? And that's the important point. Stay out of debt. Period. If you are in debt, get out. Period. For some, it's a very difficult concept to grasp. But we have heard the idea before. Where have we heard that before? dc
