The spelling is actually "Chinggis Khaan" beneath his depiction. Anyway, our guide told us that when a great Mongol warrior died, the baby calf of a camel was slaughtered in front of the mother's eyes. The warrior was then buried in the same spot. The mother camel would always remember wher http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/8130814231725974710/?src=hsr#63307 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:36:32 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/8130814231725974710/?src=hsrs#63307 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/8130814231725974710/?src=hsrs#63307 Time to ask the Muslim believers to compliment their views with the ideas of the Western Enlightenment. To understand the concept of non violence. The scriptures were describing events among people who died long time ago. I am sure Muslims and non Muslims accept that generalization is wrong. According to the Koran, some non believers in Mekka behaved badly. Some Muslims have also viola... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsr#63288 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:40:32 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63288 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63288 Bob, I have not seen that Ms. Palin has a firm grip on how the global chessboard works. It is also a chessboard where several key players are making important strategic moves and new alliances are being cobbled together right under our collective noses. This is not my Daddy's century. "Good" is not good enough for this time in American history. While being a staunch Constitutionalist myself http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsr#63287 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:19:58 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63287 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63287 You presume she is not aware of world issues. Perhaps incorrectly. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsr#63260 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:18:47 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63260 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63260 Yes Bob, I DO know the origin of the photo. Hence the smallish "foul play" against Newsweek. You know I detest Newsweek anyway. The organization is run by intellectual midgets. smile That being said, Mrs. Palin needs to focus on her education regarding many world issues and leave the world of photo ops and Oprah interviews for a season. May she return strong. She also needs to learn to pick her http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsr#63257 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:11:14 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63257 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6478281750822732913/?src=hsrs#63257 You DO know that picture came from a photo op for Runner's Magazine....don't you? I tire, as do many Americans, of the way our acceptance of elitist political dogma robs us of GOOD office holders. They said the same things about a "B" actor who wanted to be Governor of California. Y'all keep underestimating her.

I am having trouble getting Blogspot to space properly, align properly on the page. Appears to be some glitch which I cannot quite fix. My apology is extended re: format.

She could plan and she could identify a descending http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6912413485713482367/?src=hsr#63244 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:50:00 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6912413485713482367/?src=hsrs#63244 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/6912413485713482367/?src=hsrs#63244 I'm really not interested in whether the death penalty is a deterrent. In fact, we know it isn't - though the 15 to 20 year interval between sentence and execution may be a factor. The fact is (I think Plato pointed this out) that there are people who are human only in shape. Most states have a website giving the particulars of their death row inmates. I've read some of them. They deserve... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/3912290308583574699/?src=hsr#63197 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:43:45 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/3912290308583574699/?src=hsrs#63197 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/tammyswofford/3912290308583574699/?src=hsrs#63197 Dear Reader, I took the liberty to fix the typos because although I could read what was written it, er, looked like a cat-on-the-piano piece. smile I left your thoughts completely intact and without revision. Thank you for reading. Tammy
