While it should not have been necessary, I do not fault the Mormon Church from issuing these answers to questions about their faith. Most of JU (who are much wiser and learned than the average citizen anyway) probably already knew most of the answers to the questions posed, thanks to Ted and his fellow members of faith at JU. But in reading the questions and answers, I was struck by a Presidential press conference. It can be any president, and almost any conference, for it was not...
Good morning JUsians. My name is Sinum. I am Sally's oldest brother, and alpha male at this house (that Guy thinks he is, but I run things!). Do you know what that Guy did? He is trying to cage me up! He put pieces of wood around the high eating place, and then tried to lock me in there! Why? just cause I like to roam around and visit the other tall animals that serve us with food. But I got him! I dug out! "Digger" he says! So, what?&...

Al Gore is garnering praises for making his home Global Warming friendlier. Note, not "friendly" but friendlier. So now, instead of using 10 times the energy that ma and Pa America use (as evil and wasteful as THEY are), he is only using about 7 times the energy. And this while the polar bears die of starvation, drown and otherwise go extinct, and he jets to all corners of the earth to pick up faux awards for his "feelings". And is this going to make Al Gore more Eco-friendly?&nbs...
This story was passed to me by a friend. The story is good enough and I am sure some Ad guy has a beet red face. But the comments are priceless (well, most of them - ignore Jerome). And provide a stark contrast to a recent episode involving another religion and a name. Read the comments and enjoy! But please dont drink while reading them. Your monitor does not need a coffee bath. LOL

It seems that one of the indoctrinators of youth, failing to make a point and confining non-like minded individuals to re-education camps, has decided that dishonesty is the best policy. In order to make a local conservative group look bad, he posted a message on the boards under their name praising the Columbine killers. Not secure enough in his own beliefs, this "enlightened" member of the new leadership decided that he had to defame the owners of a site whose apparent crime wa...
The latest episode of a man gone crazy was in Nebraska. The story is all too familiar as it has been done several times before. What struck me about this case (and actually ones in the past) was his last statement. "Now I'll be famous". And perhaps in his own demented mind, that is all he was seeking. But do we have to give him that fame? The first time it happened, many many years ago, it was scandalous. The 100th time it happens, it is still news, ...

One of my "windmills" that I joust at is the stupidity of Zero Tolerance. I have written more articles than I care to think of on the subject pointing out that School Administrators - as a group, appear to be brain dead, and nothing more than automatons. Having worked in the field for over 10 years, I saw it first hand. Don't get me wrong. I am not talking about all educators. Indeed, I found most teachers (definitely not all) to be highly competent and caring - and...
I was a consultant for 13 years (technically I am now, but my check comes from the same source as my client, so it is not the same). During that time, I had a few occasions where my loyalty was put to the test. Did I owe the client the honest truth? Without their trust in me, I would be out of a job. They hired me for my expertise, and trusted my decisions. Did I owe my company? In other words, when the truth went against my company, did I "sit down and shut up"? ...
Since the anti-war movement got cranked up, one of the slams against them was that they were tarring the troops with their rhetoric and actions. After the shame of their actions during the Vietnam War, this was a very sensitive subject as most (definitely not all) people understood that the soldiers were doing the job they were ordered to do, and not setting the policy of where and when to wage war. To that end, there have been repeated denials by members of the anti-war movement that t...
