BipolarA Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My husband just downloaded an app that updates everyday what congress does in session. The House of Reps was in session from 12 to 12:02 and during that 2 minutes a prayer was said by a reverend along with the pledge of allegiance. REALLY?!?! Maybe the need to stop the praying and get to working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadedAtheist Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I remember reading a few months ago that in our parliament prayers are said. I was totally gobsmacked. I was like really? We're still that backwards? *Sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherJosh Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 There was a silly damn bird called a Phoenix back before Christ: every few hundred years he built a pyre and burned himself up. He must have been first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we're doing the same thing, over and over, but we've got one damn thing the Phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did.We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop the goddamn funeral pyres and jumping into the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember, every generation. . Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
