Sorry, very minor nit pick; it's Homo Sapiens Sapiens. (As opposed to say, Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis). [I'm going back to lurking now]

No, she was half Norwegian. I'm jogging my memory as to her co-workers, If I recall correctly I think they were Caucasian. There may have been Asian crews based out of the orient.

Mom used to be a stewardess for Northwest Orient back in the days of the Stratocrusier (Boeing 377) on the Seattle-Tokyo run. This was in the bad old days of education, height, weight and age requirements. She was slim, but almost didn't make it because at 5'8" she was at the top limit of the height restriction. From her stories I find the education minimum requirements fascinating. In the 1920's stewardesses had to Registered Nurses in order to fly. By the time mom was flying in the 1950's the standard had dropped to having to have a bachelor's degree. (Hers was in speech.) Now it's a high school diploma. Taking trips by plane with mom's running commentary about "how things were back in my day" always made for interesting times. Sorry for nattering on, I'll go back to my usual lurking. :)

No, G-d struck them down for lying about donating all when they hadn't. The context always implied to me that the punishment of Ananias and Saphira was for the lying, not for keeping some of their property.

My dad is a resident alien (Green card holder). He pays his taxes and if he could vote in our elections would vote conservitive Republican. We can't stand illegal aliens; they need to go through the proper legal channels to get here. Just like my ancestors and some of my more immediate family members.
