My read, that slap on capital at capital punishment is mean spirited and un loving. Some would have preferred to free that muslim fanatic they rightly executed in Virginia yesterday????????????????????????????????????????????????? Freed him to kill again????????????????????????????????????? ------------------------ His mercy[covenant love] endireth forever.But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the red sea;His mercy [covenant love] endureth forever .

I just read this issue at the local barnes & noble the article that had me at rapt attention was the one that discussed the universe as a supercomputer The coolest idea there imo was the idea of "Omega Point" The Big Crunch The end of the universe.. It coincided with my own non-linear time chicken/egg philosophy. The idea in a nutshell is that at the moment of the Big Crunch there is infinite ENERGY and infinite COMPUTATION That the universe as a computer could compute and manifest EVERYTHING that "happened" (in a retro-causative sense) The Omega Point is similar to Terrance McKenna's idea of the "Trancendental object at the end of time.." So which came first? The Alpha or Omega? The Big Bang or The Big Crunch? The Chicken, The Cracking Eggshell, or The Feather-Flying Vigorous Insemination Process? (chicken fu*cking). I would wager that they are all happening simultaneously. Right Now That what we are experiencing now is just "reverberations" between the Alpha and Omega points. Forward time / events reverberating against backward flowing ones, and vice versa. (including feedback loops through time - past influences future, future influences past) Or, as one of my physicist friends is fond of saying: "the universe just APPEARS CAUSAL for our benefit.."
