Is any recent war unrelated to oil and who controls it?
After Green - Past Oil Dependency - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com: "The age of oil dependency is ending. Regardless of who wins the peak oil debate. A collision between population growth and global emulation of the US oil economy will either result in a repetition of the wars of the 20th century or a move beyond dependency on oil."

There is Jesus' gospel and the gospel we have received
BEYOND CREED - Stephen Rose : IUniverse:
Jesus' gospel is stated clearly in Mark One with no reference to himself. We are to repent our sins and believe the good news that the kingdom or realm of Abba is present, at hand, available.
Jesus' gospel is stated clearly in Mark One with no reference to himself. We are to repent our sins and believe the good news that the kingdom or realm of Abba is present, at hand, available.
This was supplemented by clear teachings and by the gift of a prayer that is universal and meant for all to say up to three times daily.
If this supplanted the received creedal gospel, the world might be a very different place.

Michelle's look said it all (Speech Photos)
Obama’s Jobs Address: Key Optics — BagNews:
Michelle's expression said to me - how tragic it is that my husband can be so right and these people so wrong - the Dems for going ape but not getting organized to really support him and the GOP for telegraphing its stone wall response with customary impunity. It says the drama goes on and the outcome is not clear. Only the the sad performance of the people below. And the impact of brazen racism that is its subtext.

Following up on WikiLeaks
Controversy and Confusion Over the Latest WikiLeaks Revelations: 8 Things You Really Need to Know | | AlterNet:
"There's also a cable confirming that troops, in 2006, carried out a house raid on the home of an Iraqi farmer, handcuffing all the residents of the house before shooting them all in the head. They included children aged 5, 3, and 5 months, the farmer's 74-year-old mother, and visiting relatives. The cable, from Philip Alston, Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary, or Arbitrary Executions, to Condoleeza Rice, also reveals that a US airstrike was then called in on the house, presumably to destroy evidence, but “autopsies carried out at the Tikrit Hospital’s morgue revealed that all corpses were shot in the head and handcuffed.”"

Feds need to lighten up on medical marijuana
Medical Marijuana: A Cure, Not a Crime | American Civil Liberties Union:
"Contemporary scientific evidence confirms the countless stories of the therapeutic effects of medical marijuana, which has provided unique relief for serious conditions, including cancer and AIDS, when no other medicine is as effective or free of side effects such as nausea or loss of appetite. Nearly one million patients nationwide now use medical marijuana as recommended by their doctors and in accordance with state laws."

The Tea Party on a single lucid page
Glenn Beck, the Tea Party, and the Republicans : The New Yorker:
"In 1906, early in the Progressive era, the humorist Finley Peter Dunne’s fictional barroom sage, Mr. Dooley, put the social and political tumult of the day into perspective. “Th’ noise ye hear is not th’ first gun iv a revolution,” Dooley remarked. “It’s on’y th’ people iv th’ United States batin’ a carpet.” A century from now, or even a year from now, Americans may say the same about the Tea Party. For the moment, though, it appears that the extreme right wing is on the verge of securing a degree of power over Congress and the Republican Party that is unprecedented in modern American history. For defenders of national cohesion and tempered adversity in our politics, it is an alarming state of affairs. "

The "wise" and "learned" are unlikely to shed their sophisticated garb
Windows on The Bible: Sixty One Family Values 1:
"These passages would appear to give children an edge on everyone else but a careful reading would suggest that Jesus is evoking in these passage qualities of spontaneous and enthusiastic acceptance of His Person and Message. The "wise" and "learned" are unlikely to shed their sophisticated garb and believe that God has come in the form of a carpenter to proclaim the advent of God's happy Kingdom!"

Does anyone wish they had lived in the 19th century?
The Complete History of Adam Panflick:
"Despite his parlous condition, Orlando managed to improve his lot by delivering firewood around the Cotswolds. According to Melchizadek’s notes, he operated a small gambling book on the side. Orlando’s most important feat was to win the heart, of one Polly Smeal who was, if a faded image may be credited, a true beauty no more than half Orlando’s age. She must have been strong. She gave birth to nine children, of whom six survived."

Would it be appropriate to call Peirce a rolling stone

The note of community and unity sounded by the President is not a political ploy. It is the lost thread that needs to be sewed back into the fabric of our democracy. Clearly this is the difference between rebirth and continuing decline. We need a rebirth of community.

Markman: A Film About Jesus: Markman: A Film about Jesus Complete Text:
"Twelve persons, six COMMUNARDS and six HOSPICE GUESTS sit around a rough-cut pine table. David is at one end, flanked by PETE and ALICE. At the other end sits an emaciated YOUNG MAN, wrapped in blankets, dying of AIDS. The song comes to an end. They all break bread from a common loaf. On the wall hang pictures of DIETRICH BONHOEFFER, MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. and a ROUALT LITHOGRAPH OF THE FACE OF THE SUFFERING CHRIST."

The city of choice is the ideal toward which we move
The Grass Roots Church: The Grass Roots Church Part One:
Over a century ago an acute observer of the American scene, Alexis de Tocqueville, said: "I am tempted to believe that what we call necessary institutions are often no more than institutions to which we have grown accustomed. In matters of social constitution the field of possibilities is much more extensive than men living in their various societies are ready to imagine." - Harvey Cox Introduction, The Grass Roots Church
