No problem Timbo. I caught that later on. These dang bifocals really get to me from time to time.

BTW, time to put the mugs in the freezer if they aren't already there.

"As you are oft to do, you concentrate on how "some one would feel" and not the actual point that is being made or discussed.

Then you rail on until folks get bored to tears with your incessant restating the same irrelevant point over and over and over again."

I do not need the long lists of my faults pointed out to me, but I am curious as where I am "oft to do" these things you say.

It would appear that Angela found a way to get rid of me at the behest of her close personal friend (I'm sure that needs no further explanation to be clear.) This place really has become Animal Farm ...

It should have been "Their perception of light shining on the objects." Sorry.

(cont.) although, just like a small child, it pretends it knows every answer. If you were to put an animal with good night vision and a human in a room that's pitch dark, the animal would be able to see hidden things that are impossible to see for the human, simply because what they are seeing is different in relation to the light shining on the objects. Believers have the ability to tap into an inner light which allows them to see things that fill the gap. It might not ever be proven in a lab, but the effects of that faith are proven by the difference that faith makes in improving their lives and their overall health. Again, I am not attempting to change your mind about what to believe or not believe; that's a choice you make for yourself and it's great, but other people should also have the same choice without being ridiculed for it. That is what I mean when I talk about a narrow mind.

Timbo - all jokes and opinions aside, I do understand where you are coming from. I grew up in a very eclectic spiritual home (by spiritual I don't mean religious, as I don't believe in the image of the mystical Santa Claus depicted by Christianity), so my views are open to just about anything. I am married to an atheist, so believe me when I say that I understand the need of always proving everything. I am not saying that what you believe (or don't, LOL) is wrong, but I have also had ample personal proof that some things are just not explainable through means of rational thinking, and they can't be measured by the standard five-sense scale. Even my husband, the greatest atheist of all, has had to agree with that on occasions. Even if you look at this through a purely scientific funnel, the human mind only uses a small percentage of its power; the rest remains locked and unable to tap into. That small percentage we use cannot understand everything. (cont.)

"However, I find it concerning you can be persecuted in the US for a crime committed in another country. Irrespective of "International Law"."

I think the actual crime you cited occurs inside the US. Generally (I believe) the way it is handled is through a conspiracy charge or use of federal communications to commit a crime. (I had very little involvement in those types of crimes, so I'm not certain of the exact charge.)

As it pertains to US citizens in Iraq, contractors (like the military) are covered by some form of a "Status of Forces Agreement" (SOFA) which applies to a number of crimes and gives the US jurisdiction.
