About me
My personal hero is:

Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll (August 11, 1833 – July 21, 1899), a Civil War veteran, American political leader, and orator during the Golden Age of Freethought, noted for his broad range of culture and his defense of agnosticism.

Many of Ingersoll's speeches advocated freethought and humanism, ...

His liberal views of freedom of religion, slavery, woman's suffrage, and other issues of the day effectively prevented him from ever pursuing or holding political offices higher than that of state attorney general.

Illinois Republicans tried to pressure him into running for governor on the condition that he conceal his agnosticism during the campaign, which he refused on the basis that concealing information from the public was immoral.

 Welcome to un-regulated capitalism. "Barclays accused Bear Stearns of knowing for months that certain assets in the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Master Fund were worth "far less" than their stated values." The big shoe to fall... Naked short selling!

 This doesn't even scratch the surface! Most of it is hilarious, and sad, that people can be so intellectually impoverished. I left off the names because they are probably embarrassing by now, assuming these people have improved their thinking. But the site (and shown here is a very short sample) credits the source and the person (otherwise you might not believe it with your own eyes)!

Quotations by Abraham Lincoln

by AcesLucky  6-3-2008    24
 ""In religion, Mr. Lincoln was about of the same opinion as Bob Ingersoll, and there is no account of his ever having changed. He went to church a few times with his family while he was President, but so far as I have been able to find out, he remained an unbeliever. Mr. Lincoln in his younger days wrote a book, in which he endeavored to prove the fallacy of the plan of salvation and the divinity of Christ."

May I Quote You, Mr. President?
AcesLucky
by AcesLucky  4-8-2008    6
 22-"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." 25-"Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." 31- "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." 32- "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." 36-"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." 47-"I'm the commander — see, I don't need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." 50-“I don’t have the foggiest idea about what I think about international, foreign policy.”

Anti-Evolution Film Stirs Controversy

by AcesLucky  4-6-2008    2
 Many of the reader's comments are more interesting than the article. For instance, here's one: ALL those "scientists" who are persecuted for believing "out of the box"? You know what, where are you tests you've preformed to PROVE Intelligent design? What Experimets did you preform? What results did you find that support your hypthesis of their being a designer? huh? Where are they? .... Oh wait.. you don't have any? You just "believe" that what HASN"T been explained by science yet must be something else??? Hmm.... Sounds like your saying "Whatever hasn't be figured out (yet) MUST be God!! Or this: "Unfortunately I feel it's pretty hard to have an honest discussion on the topic of origin these days because it seems that so few people are capable of accurately representing or fairly treating the arguments of anyone who sees it differently."

Did the archbishop's prayers not reach god? Was god listening at all? What would have been the result if there was no god? Why do we let this virus infect the human mind?
