I just heard that a convenience store clerk was shot dead in South Florida, not over a robbery or theft in the store, but after a fight in the store over whether a youth was old enough to buy a 99 cent cigar.
That reminds me that those clerks have one of the most dangerous jobs in the US, but have no pension plan at 25 yrs, no special pay, nothing. Same thing with roofers and construction workers. I don't see how that is fair when police and fireman, who also do dangerous jobs, but get nice pensions at 25 yrs or less of service. Even more dangerous are jobs in fishing, like the ones you see in 'dirty jobs' on cable TV shows.
So I think this 'studyfinds' website is a crock; one study says coffee is bad for you, the next one says it is OK, and the next says it is good for you. |

Bottom line: did all the jurors vote against Planned Parenthood, due to this video evidence? That is not addressed in the news item, but what do you expect from WND--World Nut Daily?
I can imagine some jurors--yes, even the ones with tears in their eyes, saying, I'm sorry, but my whole family has supported Planned Parenthood all our lives, so I cannot vote against them now.
In other words, don't bother me with the facts, my mind is already made up!
Then another juror will say, "Oh yes, my grandmother supported PP, my mother supported PP, my aunts supported PP, so don't make me vote against them!" |

It would be good to keep in mind a graph showing the membership decline in all Methodist Churches, and alongside that line sloping down, similar declines for Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans, etc (all the 'mainline' denominations.)
Then it would be good to show how much real estate is involved with these churches, and how that value is important in understanding any discussion of a split in the church. You also have to see the Table of Organization for this church that would show who reports to who, who pays what amount to who, etc. You also have colleges involved in this complicated web. Any discussion of a split in this huge and complicated, real-estate-rich entity has got to include all these factors.
Because, in the end, the theology is one thing, but what really matters is the money, so just 'follow the money' |
