The ex-communicated Catholic archbishop Emmanuel Milingo who is in the country has likened the political violence in the country to revival of ritual murders in traditional Africa when dead chiefs were buried with living sacrificial victims. This is an acute observation from the clergyman. Zambians politicians are an arrogant lot who want to drag the all nation in their selfish agendum presented as concern for the masses. Read More

Hm. I wonder. Can the cycles of history be restored without venturing into the caldron of current events? Are we able tor recognize where we are and take effective, corrective action. I am thinking it is being a part of the maelstrom of events which determines whether the destructive cycle is repeated or transformed. Who can say with assurance that the die has been cast, history has been repeated? I'll leave that to God. For me, we are at a threshold. The crux is . . . have enough of the Creator's children matured sufficiently to transform a historical mistake rather than be run over by it? Are we observing history cycling as victims and by-standers or are we able to "carpe diem".

Let the debate go one up for Intelligent Design and here's a an excellent interview by Discovery Intitute's 'ID the Future -
quoted from Morality in a Meaningless World: An Interview With Rabbi Moshe Averick
What happens to morality when the world has no meaning? On this episode of ID the Future, Discovery Institute fellow Paul Nelson interviews Rabbi Moshe Averick, who discusses his book, Nonsense of a High Order: The Confused and Illusory World of the Atheist.
Rabbi Averick ran educational programs at UCLA and Northridge University in Los Angeles, and then became one of the founding faculty members of Aish Toronto and later at the Shaalvim Rabbinical Seminary in Israel.

President Obama’s unilateral finding that DOMA is unconstitutional, and his directive that DOJ no longer defend DOMA in litigation, amounts to an end run on the Constitution that would short-circuit the judicial process, giving the President striking new powers to retroactively accept or reject laws passed by Congress. While I am grateful that the House will intervene to ensure that the law is defended, and that it receives a full and vigorous defense, no President has the authority to unilaterally pick and choose which laws are deserving of a legal defense.
The American people have clearly spoken when it comes to marriage, rejecting same-sex marriage in all 31 states where the question has been put to the ballot. Legislators in 14 other states have done the same thing. But at the same time, activist federal judges have issued rulings that threaten to strip millions of Americans of their civil right to vote for marriage, overthrowing the marriage laws of 45 states. A federal judge in San Francisco has already struck down Proposition 8, invalidating the will of 7 million California voters. A federal judge in Boston is attempting to strike down DOMA as well.
Like the vast majority of Americans, I believe marriage is the union of a husband and a wife. I do not want activist judges to take away our right to define marriage . . . or to redefine marriage so that schoolchildren are taught that their parents are bigots. Please stand for marriage by opposing any effort to repeal DOMA, and by supporting H.Con.Res. 25, calling on President Obama and the Department of Justice to honor their constitutional obligation to defend DOMA, ensuring that the rights of American voters are respected, and that marriage remains the union of one man and one woman.
Iran's Suppressed Revolution is Ressurrecting and much to the chagrin of the Islamic Brotherhood. The saying goes, "How ya gonna keep'em down on the farm, after they've seen Egypt? Revolution works both ways.
