Science is proven and repeatable facts. How would you explain the fact that diamonds and oil can be made in 30 minutes?

Anyway, that&#039;s what the evolutionists think. Perhaps diamonds found in nature could have been formed quickly by some catastrophic event. FYI, oil also can be produced in about 30 minutes.

It IS NOT in the constitution. If you believe it is, show me where. The origin of this concept is a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a minister in Danbury, Connecticut, assuring him that the government will not interfere with religious practices because of the separation of church and state. That is where you will find that phrase. In fact, the conservatives are correctly applying this principal to the current issue. The government has no right to interfere in the free exercise of religion. To quote the first phrase of the First Amendment: &quot;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...&quot; Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:33:52 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Sources-Obama-revamping-birth-control-policy-139091119.html#IDComment289260174 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Woman-warehouse-wed-as-some-object-reference-to-gay-marriage-138298184.html#IDComment278209672 So are you saying that this is a legitimate marriage?

No amount of will power or strength of character will make it go away.

For your information, prison cost between $30,000 - $55,000 per year per inmate.

To what place or agency are they supposed to turn themselves in? There are no mental institutions anymore. If they haven&#039;t broken the law, they can&#039;t turn themselves in to the police. There is simply no place to turn.

There are enough bad apples but the majority of police, even in Seattle, do their best. Only a hand full of policemen (44 out of 1,200 if I recall correctly) committed most of the unconstitutional acts of violence according to the Justice Department report.

This is not socialism where the government penalizes successful people so they can give their money to those less successful or less willing to work as hard. Mentally ill people need HELP before they hurt or kill someone.

Have you ever known anyone with a mental illness? My aunt&#039;s grandson was a perfectly normal kid, pleasant, good grades, in a band, working, doing everything right. Then he came down with schizophrenia. Mental illness is not a choice. My uncle suffered from delayed traumatic stress after returning from WWII. He never recovered. They didn&#039;t know how to treat it back then. Also, my niece suffered a bout with postpartum depression recently (as I mentioned in another post). She, fortunately, got help. To say the things you say is uninformed and heartless. I hope you never have to deal with mental illness.

I certainly don&#039;t approve of what he did, but mentally ill people need HELP before they do something which hurts (or kills) someone. My niece recently had a baby. Last month she suddenly came down with postpartum depression. Fortunately, she got help. This guy and other mentally ill people need medication and supervision as the article says.
