Christianity and Organ DonationPosted By Darian Rachal |
Jim, Given the choice I do not understand why anyone would have any qualms about being an organ donor, unless they "think" they are going to need them in the 'afterlife'.

Possible major comet next yearPosted By Darian Rachal |
Would be nice. I have to go back 40+ years since I saw a really great comet(Bennett), although there have been some really nice ones since then.Jim McSheehy said:

Projected to graze the sun (0.012AU) and reach mag -4 in Oct-Nov 2013, 0.4 AU from Earth.

Thanks Linton. Sometimes when I'm inclined to get all "wrapped up" in events going on in the world around me, it's nice to see something like this to help put everything in it's proper perspective.

Rob, This is a heartening video. It may take awhile but eventually blacks are going to realize the form of "slavery" they've been under with the Democrat Party.

Polaris B (double star)Posted By Darian Rachal |
Antonino, Years ago, using a TeleVue Ranger(70mm), I made a number of observations of Polaris with various apertures and magnifications to see how easily seen the companion was. If I can find my notes I'll post them. You might try it and see what results you get.

Animals are conscious, sentient beings.Posted By Darian Rachal |
George, Since childhood(59 now), I've had an aversion to killing things. I'm not really sure how it developed, which really puzzled me when young because I knew it was not something I had been taught(in catechism, for example). When I was a teenager, I came across Joseph Wood Krutch's "The Great Chain of Life" and found I had a 'kindred spirit' in my thinking.
I'm just inclined to think that all life has some value.
I remember many years ago(early '80s) I was at the TX Star Party and we were climbing a hill to a small observatory for a Group Photo. I was walking along with Sue French and I remember her stopping to turn over a large beetle that was on it's back, struggling to right itself. Interesting the 'small' things that make lasting impressions.
