I agree with you Dagobah Eagle about the right to put the pentacle star on the tombstone. We are supposed to be the land of the free and under the first ammendment we have separation of church and state. I see it as merely honoring that what the sold...  [Read More]

The Patriot Act is legal due to the fact we're at war and it has to keep being renewed. The Constitution does allow for things like the Patriot Act when we're at a state of war. This is why Supreme Court Justices are in for Life, so their jobs aren'...  [Read More]

Tall tale is correct. It is often used to refer to stories that often are improbable like the stories of Pecos Bill. Thanks for the name. I'll have some time to think about it tomorrow....  [Read More]

Thanks for that hint about the Whitelighters igyman. I am thinking of changing it but I need a name that somewhat represents this group. In actuality they are those Ancients who are like Laharet, forsook their demon powers and channeled them to good....  [Read More]

Ashira-Li was ready for the rebuke. Many times over she had been rebuked by the Council for being what she was. The greatest, which she considered a compliment, was the observation that she was like the Jedi Revan who existed long ago. She responded...  [Read More]

Not naive. Just wise in a different respect. Ashira-Li thought quietly to Kota. Like many others, the Avalonian play on words, word games, it was difficult to comprehend. When the stranger spoke and insinuated that she wouldn't listen she replied in...  [Read More]

"You have forgotten that I am Avalonian. We are born with the sword in our hand and we die by the might of our blade," Ashira-Li grinned. It was the same thing over and over again. People couldn't understand the Avalonian mindset of seeing...  [Read More]

Maybe you don't understand because you haven't had someone you love who you know was innocent murdered by the judicial system that is supposed to protect us. Innocent as in bystander? I was the victim of a felony crime. I was a victim of an armed rob...  [Read More]

Sam Dravis: I don't pretend to be a saint. Truly this does exemplify the complexity of the human mind. I believe that a punishment must fit the crime and I believe that leniency can be granted. It's that magnificent thing called mitigating and aggrav...  [Read More]

Indeed, I agree with you about being ticked off and their crimes being despicable. You lose me right around the "good form of retribution" though. For you, what is it that justifies an act of (pure) retribution and makes it a moral good? I...  [Read More]

I don't think technological advance and social development contradict the theory of evolution. It is part of cultural evolution since it implies learned behaviors which is a basic tenet for culture. The way I see it, neither Evolution nor Creationis...  [Read More]
