The Mystery Of The Christmas Star
The Star of Bethlehem, also called the Christmas Star, in Christian tradition is a star that revealed the birth of Jesus to the three Wise Men (Magi). According to the bible (Gospel of Matthew) the Magi were "men from the east" who were inspired by the appearence of the Star to travel to Jerusalem. Christians regard the Christmas Star as a miraculous sign given by God to mark the birth of Christ. Some theologians... (posted by James 3 years 49 days ago.)

A Nobel Peace Prize And A Weather Balloon
If we don't sign a personal check, it has no value and it cannot be cashed. In fact, the lack of our signature on any written legal contract means that there has not been a binding agreement reached on the terms stated in the document. So, without a legal signature, we cannot open a bank account, buy a house, get a car loan, open a credit card, or even file a tax return. The truth is that our signature defines...

Is E-Vote Security The Hanging Chad Of Election 2008?
The most clever advertisement on television today is when the Maytag repairman saves the day at a polling booth by holding up a handful of crumpled ballots that he has just removed from a voting machine. I watched that advertisement the other day as I was reviewing the latest public opinion polls from the 2008 Presidential Election. These latest polls told the same story as nearly every other...

America’s Best Days-Gone or Yet to Come?
In a Rasmussen telephone poll taken recently, voters were asked whether America's best days were ahead or behind it. In the poll's findings, 32% of those polled thought that the nation's best days were yet to come. However, more than 50% of Americans thought that the country's best days were already in the past. In 1770, as he was watching the birth of this nation, American professor Alexander Tyler wrote; "A... (posted by James 3 years 196 days ago.)

Future Cities Will Move And Change Shape
Every day millions of people all over the world go to the office to work at the same location. It is another work day at the same address in the same office building. The structure may be old or it may be new, but the structure does not change. It remains constant. The building faces in the same direction and each window offers the same view to the outside. In fact, the same thing exists in our own houses and... (posted by James 3 years 203 days ago.)

The Pentagon's Battle Plan Is To Go Green
The vote was 324-84 as the United States House of Representatives recently approved legislation allowing the Justice Department to sue members of OPEC . The House bill blames OPEC for limiting oil supplies and working together to set crude prices. In effect, it says that gas and oil prices in America are too high and that OPEC should therefore produce more product. Of course, the vote is a study in... (posted by James 3 years 238 days ago.)
