Re: [ZION] wind power

Victoria has a few wind-power projects going or recently completed. I am not convinced they are any good outside a small to medium sized town, a city of 1 - (NY sized) would not be practical. I am concerned about it here because we have an abundance of coal and natural gas, talking about alter

Dear JWR and others, I'm beginning (just beginning mind you) to have parallel thoughts to the venerable ELF. I knew he was going to write this before I read it. I know it is prideful for me to admit to such flights of heady brilliance, but I can't help being pleased that I have made such progress.

RE: [ZION] The veil

How would Shakespeare's sonnet run in modern language? Can it sound as powerful, or did Tolkien have it right, namely, that certain words have power that resonate with us partly because of their deep Anglo-Saxon roots? Let me not to the marriage of true minds -- Let me not to the union of loya

It's a matter of price and efficiency. The wind that comes out of the Kicking Horse Pass has been known to knock semis off the highway -- that's why so many are in that area. They just feed into the existing provincial power grid. Clifford M Dubery wrote: > Victoria has a few wind-power project

[ZION] Mormon's words on war

It was actually chapter 7 of Mormon. Mormon was talking to the Lamanites ("the remnant of THIS people" verse 1). It seems that because of the promise made to the Lamanites by God (of not being totally destroyed, and being remembered in the day of their faith), the main sign of their true repentanc

Turns out the earlier speculation I had posted about which gas was used against the Chechen terrorists in the Moscow theatre was wrong: Russian officials are saying it was fenatyl, an opiate some 50 times more potent than morphine. <

[ZION] Who is the House of Israel?

Sonia Johnson was excommunicated in the late 1970s for teaching people not to let missionaries into their homes. She was pushing the Equal Rights Amendment, which the Church opposed. She wanted to put political pressure on the Church by having people not allow missionaries into their homes. She ref

[ZION] The Democratic Gaul

Can you imagine the nerve of the Democrats at Paul Wellstone's memorial service? I'm not very impressed with the liberal agenda, but I have long believed Wellstone to be a sincere and good man. Yet, here were his friends and son using this memorial to orchestrate a big media launch for the democrat

[ZION] You just don't get it

Just to show "I do get it," let me clarify my position. First off, there was a Great Apostasy. The Lord began sending light and truth down to prepare the way for the restoration through Joseph Smith. The fulness of the gospel was restored through the living prophets. The Church is different than

Sheesh. Make that fentanyl. At any rate, this evening on As It Happens they interviewed a CBW expert in Ottawa who said there was an "epidemic" of illicit fentanyl usage in New York a few years ago. It's so potent some people died with needles still in their arms. Marc Schindler wrote: > Turns

Zawahir was last seen travelling on horseback towards the Pakistani border, along with Osama bin Laden. For some odd reason he took a trail only horses could traverse, while we allies bombed his more-or-less empty caves. Seriously, Judith Miller, in her book "God Has 99 Names" talks a lot about Muh
