The problem with the rain is what happens when it is torrential!
When the hyperinflation of the torrential rains of these ego-driven interventionists hits the ground it will wipe us out like a 500 year flood!
Tell the ego-driven rainman to stop!

Oh, yes, I love Big Brother, and I will teach my children to love Him, too.
God help us all.

"Think of it as evolution in action."
A child would only say that if his parents had a similar mindset.

I think I just threw-up in my mouth.
Just think, in 6-12 years, these kids will be voting. Dear YHWH - HELP US!!!
Kind of makes me wish the Mayans are correct about December 21, 2012

I would be very surprised if the following letter was actually written by a ten year old child without any coaching from an adult.
"I would appreciate it if you would try to make this a greener planet and try to bring home the troops and end the war," the fifth-grader wrote. "I am very luckey because I am not part of a military family, but it saddens me to hear about all the people who die in Iraque and know that somewhere In the world people are greiving over a lost family member."
I do not know any ten year olds (I have one, and have met many others) who would write "I would appreciate" to express their desires or "it saddens me" to express their sadness. Nor do I know any who would misspell "lucky" while correctly spelling "appreciate", "military" and "saddens".

Worshipers and their children should stick to their Gods and churches since miracles seem to perpetuate there. Gullible parents influencing their little ones, of course.
The bright yellow sun won't come out to play with their children in the next four years or more.
The United States of America and its mythological history now has to add more delusions to 'his'story.
