Human Capital

When referring to the administration's contraception policy, "David Ignatius, a former Assistant Managing Editor for business news at the Washington Post and Executive Editor of the International Herald Tribune" made the following statement,

The White House argues that this is a net cost reducer, avoiding pregnancy, women choosing to do that, it’s less costly to insurance companies and to society than all of the services associated with pregnancy.

For the old folks

This is a chain email I received today.  I usually delete them but this one is very good.

 

 

  I watched a church in Atlanta honoring one of its senior pastors who had been  retired many years. He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the church even  bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age.

 

After a warm welcome, introduction of this speaker, and as the applause quieted  down, he rose from his high back chair and walked…

Hey Dave, I had always meant to send you an invite to join this place, I thought it would be something you would enjoy.

There is always something new here, looks like female communion assistants is the lastest hot topic (9 pages of responses in a few days)

The "Issues, Etc" issue brought in a huge amount of new people to WT, there are some of the more "famous" names from the LCMS blogosphere here, its always interesting!!

I'm a former confessional Lutheran, who keeps his eye open for anyone who wishes to explore the Scriptural data instead of overwriting it with denominational dogma. Not many candidates on WT so far, but I keep hoping.

Hi there David,
Sorry, I didn't see your message to me! Welcome aboard;
Have you seen "Expelled" yet? I'm hoping to find somewhere that is showing it/selling it.
pax Christi,
Mark

Great picture of the other person (dog) in your life. Go over to my page and see all my buddies who think they are people and hang out with me. Although I don't play myself, Golf is "Big" at our house -it is the other "religion". Husband plays, Grandson went to Professional Golf school and works in Golf industry; I watch!
At 9:18pm on July 15, 2008, Nancy KNancy K said…
Dave,
I just heard today that my Grandson will be leaving his current golf course for the FIRST TEE program which teaches young people golf. He will continue to work on his professional certification there while teaching 9 and 10 year olds. I'll have to post a picture of him soon. We play golf here in No California year round which is why my husband is agonizing over stopping to have a 2nd hip replacement while there is still a chance his team might qualify for a NCGA final.

Dave,

I am interested on your thoughts. Have a look at my take on falsifiability of evolution.
