Have you ever thought about what it means to say that you own something?

I don’t have time to look into it at the moment, but I’d love to see a treatment of what led Protestant Reformer Martin Luther to say,
“If I knew Jesus would return tomorrow, I would plant a tree today.”
Anyone who has a knee jerk (i.e. less than critical) reaction to political events in general and the recent U.S. stimulus package in particular, should shut up and think before ranting.
That said, I just don’t like the thought (much less the passing) of the new stimulus package (and I’m not at all anti-Obama – to [...]
It’s ‘inorganic rubbish collection’ time in Northcote, Auckland, New Zealand.
Northcote street-sides are loaded down with previously-wanted, cheaply-made, briefly-enjoyed and hastily-discarded stuff.
Interestingly, a rather large percentage of the items you’ll see piled outside homes in the area can be seen in pre-broken, pre-rusted or pre-outdated condition in store advertising fliers like the “Outdoor Living ‘08” catalogue [...]

all this is like ignorant and inane babbling to those who hate you,
yet this incoherent baby-noise completely [...]
watch it here (worth all 20 minutes of your time).
Note: The scope of this thing is so huge, please don’t fault it for making sweeping statements – to cover what it does in 20 minutes, it has to make its statements as general as possible.
I saw some footage tonight from a hot-dog eating contest…
Disgusting…
Utterly disgusting…
Yet somewhat amusing…
But later I thought…
“Hey, isn’t that shocking? All these people cramming down (and I don’t know how long they stayed ‘down’…) dozens of hot-dogs each, while food is scarce for most/many in the world!!??”
Is this utterly immoral?
Am I too idealistic?

You really must go and see the movie that my wife and I (and others) saw recently.
It’s called ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’ It chronicles Al Gore’s message about global warming that he’s been sharing for more than a decade. To say it is a must see would be a grave under-statement. The theatrical [...]
