Just the NUMB3RS

20 out of 20 times it has come before the voters Americans have chosen to protect the sanctity of marriage. 1 women 1 man.


An estimated 40,000 men women and children live in polygamist communities in the US.


Americans per capita give about 3.5 times more money than the Germans, and 14 times more than the Italians.

Americans gave 260 billion-----thats about $900 per person.

Excuse me professor. Just thought it would spark a conversation.

Whats your deal? Get up on the wrong side of the rock?

All of the comments came from Perspectives Magazine. News in Brief section.


The figures on giving were concerning charitable giving and came from a Syracuse University professor, Arthur Brooks, author of "Who Really Cares"

quote "Despite all the bad press the liberals and elitist like to give people of faith, the truth is, that those Christian values of tithing, of helping the poor, of seeing the needy-- these things motivate the community of faith to gie and to give genorously and to give above and beyond the call"

Kristi Hamrick, a spokewoman for American Values.


Sorry I did not consult my MLA handbook on this post.

it did spark conversation, just probably not the kind you were expecting

I'm blessed, a bit dehydrated, but actually very blessed....
