I taught my 8 yr old to pray on her knees for people she’s never met

Well according to lmr in #40, you are just teaching her to care about stupid things like the miracle of life, our shared humanity, ingenuity, compassion and all that other crap, when there's American politics to worry about. What kind of parent are you?

when there's American politics to worry about.

Politics is only a means to an end. I don't embrace it more than this Chilean debacle. These bills our Congress has passed and Obama has signed will kill more people that this mine in Chile ever did. Much more. Besides, I'm hearing crap that there were things going on down in that mine that go against the 'triumph of humanity' that is being gleefully portrayed.

Leave it to FR to be a huge buzzkill. Why revel in the ingenuity of mankind and his spirit of charity when you can come here and hear someone be a whiny biatch because he couldn’t get the rerun of the “Great American Panel”? Better yet, we can get the 10^13th lecture from Frantzie about how we are all stupid TV watching ‘murrican fools financing the House of Saud.
