The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

This gullible, ignorant anti-immigrant populist backlash is economically illiterate and morally contemptible; the past century of restrictive immigration has had an adverse effect on economic growth. You either believe in the right to migrate or you are a hypocritical Big Government whore.

The idea that a neo-fascist regime could attack the freedom of relgious expression and free speech in general for advocating or acting on behalf of its traditional faith and morals is not surprising (the lesbian mayor of Houston has also engaged in anti-religious suppression), but it is arbitrary and unconstitutional on its face.
15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said. 16 So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. 20 Then he said to them, “Whose head is this, and whose title?” 21 They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.
And your point is? 9 of 10 people who read this passage are actually retarded enough to think Jesus is endorsing paying taxes.
Marriage Proposals
In case you are wondering why I'm reprising this series, my nephew David tomorrow is marrying the love of his life, the lovely Laura. Sister #3 recently sent me a clip I didn't realize existed of attending 2-year-old David's birthday party; I was marching him around the house on my shoulders and his 3 big brothers followed in line... David is an exceptional young man who gives me hope in our future.

Olivia Newton-John, "Sam". This was Olivia's eighth #1 on the A/C charts in the mid-70's. It would be the last such #1 off a regular album (she would hit a ninth on a soundtrack track, and she would hit #1 on the Hot 100 3 more times).
