I would like to commend the writer of this article for being truthful and accurate!! I have experienced this attitude from good Christian people and disagreed with them.My family member was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. The symptoms were very severe, and I sought help from the experts who kept everything under control.I used counselors of the world that were helpful.I have also seen those who were out of their mind.I let doctors medicate her, and there was little understanding from the Christian world for what I did.I felt that it was more than" spiritual in nature."She got saved, but she was still tormented!Seven months ago,she was diagnosed with a blockage to her kidney! She had many kidney stones to pass for two months. She woke up from surgery, symptom free!!!

Thank you for an amazing article. My family member was able to get off of most of the medication that she was on. She is now in college!
She is a great Christian who does not hesitate to tell people about what God has done in her life!
Her illness put her in the place where she could witness to people about God's grace.Christians often say that the medicine makes them "doped up."
This is not so. It is the illness that makes them stare because their minds are clouded. They can not think like that.The medicine often just calms them. Many of the mentally ill have been traumatized. They need the love and care of Christians who need to understand, " With all they getting, get understanding."

Look to the cost of manufacture of these new human-replacing robots as an indicator of the event horizon.

Lots of People Waste Borrowed Money on College
August 9, 2010 7:22 PM, dallastruax.myopenid.com wrote:Is the enrollment decline of men in college caused (in part) by the decreased sociological pressure upon men to be successful and productive in order to provide for a future wife and family?
Women are no longer required by society to mate with only one man or risk future poverty associated with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Women, by virtue of the pill and to a lesser degree, abortion, are free to engage in sex with whom ever they prefer. And the criteria need no longer include the males likely hood of being willing or able to provide for her in the future.
And so, with no need to commit, the women choose alpha males (to a large degree) to have sex with, leaving the beta males with no incentive to produce any more than is required for their simple material needs and comfort.

You mean like in California, where the people passed a law and the courts over turned it? Like in Texas...
I am losing confidence in the system. :^(...

Domestic Politics Drives Obama's War Decisions

Of course this is true. Every action that this man has taken shows it is obvious fact.
His agenda is completely determined, calculated, and does not have the public's opinion as an influencing variable.
Countries like North Korea, that were wailing to get Bush to come to the table are now brazen in their contempt for this President.
America must remove this President's power in November, and then free him to pursue other career options in 2012.
