Mrbill asked. the charity which was paid 200 is... http://crs.org/facts-at-a-glance/ I also agreed to give them 20 a month.
oh yes guys like you are real thinkers. you believe exactly the same thing the bronze age sheepherder who wrote the bible believed. that some invisible guy in the sky made the world as we see it. well, maybe not exactly. they believed thunder and lightening were god himself showing his displeasure. you have at least moved past that. or have you?
you do not even realize to speculate there is no designer the best scientists in the world tell you must speculate in unproven untested almost infinite universes. you went from being a fundamentalist christian to being a fundamentalist 1950s random chance thinking fool.

One last parting comment. The map looks like its tracking the spread of a disease: all the red states in the continental US are contiguous, as though an infection has run through them. The blue states look like they have innoculated themselves, or a established a bulwark, a quarantine if you will at their borders. AK, Freethinker, MrBill. Take care. Everyone else, good luck take care. LEAPup. Take a valium.
