Arrogance or Ignorance?

Is today's immigrant boycott a reflection of their arrogance or ignorance? I believe it is both. The arrogance of the leaders to believe that such a boycott will really make a difference, and the ignorance of the followers to believe in their leaders.

"O Say Can You See"

sounds great in any language. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

A MUST READ EASTER MEDITATION

Naomi's husband and sons died, In a land not their own; She returned to her home-land, Through God's providence -- But not alone. Ruth, her daughter-in-law, had found Hope in Naomi's faith; To let Naomi return alone, Would have been an act of uncertain fate. Strangers in faith -- a common bond... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Would ABC Want To Show A Remake

of The Ten Commandments movie -- the original (which they will show Saturday night) is a classic. To remake the classic Ten Commandments movie is like trying to colorize "It Is A Wonderful Life" -- it does not work!
