Censored at the Super Bowl

Posted By Darian Rachal

Joe, When I think of censorship, I am more inclined to think of governments suppressing certain ideas, although the topic is not generally something I give a great deal of thought to. Since CBS is a private company, paying for the game, I assume they can sell advertising to whom they wish(although not cigarettes & I guess guns). smile DR

Update on CIA leak probe

Posted By Darian Rachal

Joe, I have heard that he will not be on the ticket this year, perhaps with medical problems being the reason. I do not recall where I heard this, but it seems plausible. DR

Your first scope ever?

Posted By Darian Rachal

Mine was a Jason 60mm, 700mm f.l.(280X) smile I got it for X-mas in 1971, I believe. It cost about $47.00. It was one of those "department store" telescopes that you hear people berating so often. I've always thought that someone really interested in astronomy will overcome the limitations of these types of scopes. DR

Re: Why I think 'The Passion' is evil...

Mike, Is this information something you got from books or it the general understanding of Jews in regard to Christ. I've never spent any time talking to Jews about this matter, so I find your thoughts quite interesting.

If you are certain that this business in regard to Christ is hogwash, then I would like to be privy to this information. I mean if I have been lied to about this matter, then you or anyone else would be doing me a big favor by exposing me to the truth. Respectfully, Darian Rachal

Mars Spirit landing base in the background?

Posted By Darian Rachal

David, Thanks for posting the photo. These shots from Mars never cease to amaze me. It looks like someone stepped out w/a Polaroid & took a shot. One almost gets the impression that you are there on the surface. DR
