I changed the word led to lead and is kept auto correcting. You probably thought I left it so David could correct me.

Golden Tempo won Belmont yesterday.  He was trained by Cherie DeVaux, the first woman trainer to win the Kentucky Derby last month; and the second to win the Belmont.

So, I know this has nothing to do with us, but is the Pentagon really allowed to decide what groups can be considered Christians (in a secular sense). I mean i know this has to do with military stuff and we have nothing to do with it, but would this be some type of back door to start determining what is and what isnt X religion?

“This decrease in religious affiliation codes is not designed to make any claims on the legitimacy of any faith or religious belief, nor is it intended to provide a list of ‘officially approved’ religions,” Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement. “Rather, it is designed to allow chaplains to quickly look at the religious composition of their units and determine how they structure resources to best provide for warfighters of all faith groups.”

 

That's it....

You dont think that this could possibly create a snowball effect in the future? Like "We got away with this, lets try this?" or am i just being a paranoid potato?

It's small potatoes. Probably doesn't mean a thing. Don't worry about the little stuff, we'll know when the important stuff happens.

I had some time today and read up a bit about Shakespeare. I think I enjoyed his writings when I was younger and saw some plays. But, a few years ago, I happened to sit in on an English class here and the students were reading Othello. I noticed that in their book, every paragraph had an old-to-new English translation. I do not think it was useful since the language had changed so much,(even in past decades) but may be because of looking at Bible translations in archaic vs NWT. Or it's just that those writings are expressed better in performance.
