"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

One of my favorite quotes

"Let others complain that the times are wicked. I complain that they are paltry; for they are without passion. The thoughts of men are thin and frail like lace, and they themselves are feeble like girl lace-makers. The thoughts of their hearts are too puny to be sinful. For a worm it might conceivably be regarded a sin to harbor thoughts such as theirs, not for a man who is formed in the image of God. Their lusts are staid and sluggish, their passions sleepy; they do their duty, these sordid minds, but permit themselves, as did the Jews, to trim the coins just the least little bit, thinking that if our Lord keep tab of them ever so carefully one might yet safely venture to fool him a bit. Fye upon them! It is therefore my soul ever returns to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. There at least one feels that one is dealing with men and women; there one hates and loves, there one murders one's enemy and curses his issue through all generations-there one sins." (Kierkegaard, Either/Or)

No Freedom In Germany

It appears that the German government has returned to its pre W.W.II polices. The totalitarian regime which is implementing Adolph Hitler's policy of no homeschooling. There appears to be no point of diversity of opinion or freedom of thought.

The Nazi party (sorry the Federal Republic of Germany) led by Nazi Leader (darnit did it again) and former communist Angela Merkel aka "The Iron Frau" is tormenting Christians who decide to home school their children. Ms. Merkel who holds the same seat as Adolph Hitler did is implementing the policies started by Hitler himself.

The United Nations which the Ms. Merkel and her Nazi regime go against United Nations, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26, section 3, which says: "Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children."

Last I checked the Nazis in Germany, who hate free speech and free thought, were part of the U.N. The United Nations security council needs to take action against Germany demand that people who decide to home school children will not have a 17 year old girl carted of by 15 jack booted thugs under the guise of the stormtroopers (police) carried a her off to sanatarium, just like in her communist days.

Difference of old bibles

As things happen, a catholic bible can come and go. I was recently was amazed when I looked a friend of mine and his catholic bible. When I look at my Bible I have notes. I have highlights and comments. There are Greek and Hebrew words written on the side as well as questions.

I looked at the catholic bible. There were no notes or colors. I asked my religious friend why this was. His comment was that he did not read the bible or even take it to church. Such differences there are in the world.
