Chicken Soup indeed. <br><br>I made that in the crock pot for later, right now it is dry toast with a light cream cheese schmear and a little bit of strawberry jam.<br><br>Thanks for both of you being so sweet.

I've seen it coming through the years, as others like myself who follow technology, and I don't like it. A machine doesn't have the intellect and heart of a soldier, it lacks the compassion and the ability to make rational decisions.<br><br>Robots have their place, but the battlefield is not that place. There has to be a consequence to combat, or it becomes all to easy to engage in without regard for the human aspects.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Hawk | <a href=\"http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/\" title=\"http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/\">Homepage</a> | 12.08.07 - 6:20 pm | <a href=\"#99698\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"99701\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=681df1e9f50a10610d95094436560a9a&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />I agree the human component is something that can never be replaced--how many sci-fi movies and series' episodes have addressed this very issue (from our beloved Star Trek to Twilight Zone, Universal Soldier to Terminator).  I think it's awesome in the realm of loss of life, but a robot can't tell the difference between a rabbit, a child crossing the road and an armed enemy--and that human capacity is very much needed.<br><br>Spree, years ago when I worked at the Court there was a woman who was a very devout born again Christian who also celebrated Hanukkah--and she confused me so I asked her why.  Her answer was priceless and I loved it--\"Jesus celebrated Hanukkah\"--short, sweet, simple--and true.  He was, after all, Jewish Himself!  Just because He became the \"founder\" of Christianity doesn't mean He gave up His very real Christian roots!<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Miss Beth | <a href=\"http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 12.08.07 - 8:26 pm | <a href=\"#99701\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"99702\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=681df1e9f50a10610d95094436560a9a&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Oops--sorry, His very real JEWISH roots!<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Miss Beth | <a href=\"http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 12.08.07 - 8:27 pm | <a href=\"#99702\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"99705\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" /> I agree the human component is something that can never be replaced--how many sci-fi movies and series' episodes have addressed this very issue (from our beloved Star Trek to Twilight Zone, Universal Soldier to Terminator).\"<br><br>Cylon hunting, anyone?<br><br><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/clin_oeil.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /><br /><span class=\"byline\">           Hawk | 12.08.07 - 8:33 pm | <a href=\"#99705\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"99707\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=681df1e9f50a10610d95094436560a9a&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Brat!<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Miss Beth | <a href=\"http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 12.08.07 - 8:53 pm | <a href=\"#99707\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/spreeeziee/3135936665345668227/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='spreeeziee' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='3135936665345668227' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
