Great Thread on 5GW in Ukraine

[Mark Kohut]

Thanks, Thomas, we know where we stand. I meant "crazy" colloquially, of
course.

"still turn out to be worse than anyone else"? What more do you need
to see? (Never mind, just me being rhetorical)

You would not have voted for Clinton, nor Trump. I see. Thanks for
clarifying and yes, I remember
your argument yet I remember you did not agree with all I wrote about the
dangers of Trump.

So it goes.

Throughout history, many, perhaps like you in this case, state truths that
others can't see. Such as "defining event of the
human species". I'm too unorginal and stupid to see it, if so.

Got any more Acquinas to share? When did he say human life began with
fetuses? has come up
in local discussions of our theocratic Supremes. I know Augustine, around
four months at "quickening".
