by Dr. David Fialk |
It is astounding that our brains can fathom higher mathematics, when such capacity would have conferred no survival advantage to our ancient ancestors on the African savannah. |
Ethical systems around the world are the result of religion. Charity, justice, tolerance, community, to the extent that they do exist, exist due to transcendental ideals first embodied in religion. |
I remember a conversation I had with Anado over my famous miso soup, during which he asserted, while stirring another dollop of miso into his bowl, "We don't need religion." "You don't need religion," I countered, "Without religion people would be eating each other." |

Many of the children in the rural communities around San Miguel never receive anything on Three Kings Day, the traditional yuletide gift-giving day here in Mexico. |
Their smiles tell it all.. or almost all, because my volunteers receive presents of another, less-tangible kind. Each of them tells me that this day is the most special of the year for them. |

The Rug Hooking Project Tours Every Thursday by Charlotte Bell |
You will see them sitting under a tree on the hillside tending the cows and working on their rugs. Or you may find them working late at night by kitchen tables after their children are asleep. |

The Computer Corner by Charles Miller |
The common denominator in these cases and many others that followed is that the customers had to pay lawyers and to go to court. That alone is a good reason to practice online safety when banking. |
