Supreme Court Justices Unethical Behavior?
We have all read about Jack Abramoff and how lobbying is done in Washington. Trips, dinners, campaign funding, and other perks paid for by lobbyists in return for favors the politicians can do for their clients.
But our Supreme Court Justices should be beyond reproach. They are not elected, but appointed. They are in that position for life or until they decide to retire. They also should go out of their way to be unbiased and out of the reach of special interest groups, people whose cases might come before the Supreme Court, and lobbyists.
The West should step out of the United Nations
The United Nations, actually ruled by Arab and Third World dictatorships, fails in its duties. There is no distinction between aggressor and defender. The Democratic states are voted out and the rules are changed. Genocide is almost an internal affair of the respective states and terrorism is not considered as an aggressive deed, but as an action of a liberation group.

Forgive To Live: Free Yourself Of Emotional Baggage
Forgiveness is difficult for many people because, too often, we think to forgive is also to condone, to say, “Oh, that’s ok.” We put up barriers to forgiving others because of this notion. Many times, in fact, most times what needs to be forgiven is NOT ok. It was not ok to have happened, it is not ok to do again — it’s just simply NOT ok. So, unless the offender asks for forgiveness with sincerity and remorse (and sometimes even when they do,) we often find it difficult to …
Anyone Up For A Challenge?
Since the beginning of my blog, I have tried to let my readers into my private life a little at a time, without giving too much away (I really dont want psychos showing up at my door). For instance, through the blog, you have learned, among other things, that I am a recovering drug addict, that I was homeless less than 10 years ago, that my wife is expecting, and that I live near an extremely small town in Utah (population is less than 400).
