Don't know if you accidently "sent" twice ...

But, I would be happy to reply twice.

The "extremists" on this forum versus the kindly and much wiser "moderates". I see the alluded to thought and presumed to fill in the rest of the blanks for you.

I see you one are who comments with aplomb and decorum. I will attempt the same. Aplombing ....

I know all the arguments and have argued them for decades on extremists versus moderates. What it comes down to is whether or not we are willing to compromise for "peaceful settlements".

Good lessons are found in science and man's attempts to replicate the absolute and unforgiveable truths in that area. How many shuttles have you watched? I've seen a few of man's attempts blow up on the platform, during launch, amd returning to earth. A few "truths" have finely dribbled out of Russia.

Science is absolutely committed to absolute truth. When we get sloppy or cheat, we have catastrophic results. We idolize our own discoveries of truth and pay the consequences when we find out we weren't quite the big shots we accepted numerous awards for being.

I know of the humanistic approach for reaching accommedating and "peaceful" solutions to "peace on earth". We've had an absolutely incredible amount of success with cheating truth in humanistic applications. For millenia, mankind has been at "peace" and avoided the ugliness of war by lying about truth and accommoating everyone's pet fantasy. Lately it is all about being at peace with everyones' billion and one one very own take on who "god" is. Well, "god' is all for lie and giving in to truth and is very content to sit in our closets until we find it conveninet to trot him out or have a sudden crucial need.

At a very early age, I investigated many and became an atheist at age 15. God had other plans and whipped me onboard - to make a long story short. What he has taught me about compromise could fill an entire set of encyclopedias.

Great Britain has recently compromised with the "peaceful" Muslims in their country and agreed to withold the truth of World War II. The truth "was" about a paltry 6,000,000 Jews, 20,000,000 civilians, 10,000,000 Christains and priests. You can throw in a few asundry combatants. The Muslims are "offended" at the truth of their alliance with the Nazis inthe attempt too eradicate those that they both hated with a lethal hatred. Britain tried to compromise with Hitler. They paid a heavy price for getting in late. So did the U.S. which, then, also, listened to the peaceniks of that era. We also, paid a heavy price for our delayed entry.

You see, the moderates have always been around and pushing "compromise" and staying silent while everyone else paid for compromise "in the interest of peace".

Peace and freedom always came with a large price tag. We have again, forgotten that and currently spit on the graves of those who gave everything including family, dreams, and future. History has big lessons by the hundreds for every time man decided to compromise and give in to moral depravity.

We cave in to the current and popular lies about what is moral and true. We are a nation riddled with greed, corruption, and self-indulgence everywhere and in every venue. Obama promises pie in the sky and a massive welfare state that will attend to the needs of - eventually - every single one of this planet's needy. When the borders pour open and the millions flow in from Mexico followed by the tens of millions from Central and South America, you and I get to pay the bill because the rich will already have left.

You can see where this is leading, and I will accommodate and compromise with you further, later. I have a large number of realities and truths that I am responsible for. It's getting late and, I've been accommodating this forum for much of the day. I haven't eaten since I had a banana for breakfast and accommodation has reached its limit as I have to get up early to accommodate a very ill wife.
