Re: [asa] Coulter, and science -- and guessing motives.

Yes, Mark Isaak is a well known and well regarded contributor. His
comments on the nine commandments are quite interesting
http://home.earthlink.net/~misaak/ninecomm.html

   1. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
   2. Recognize and respect differences of taste, custom, and belief
      that don't affect you directly.
   3. Don't blame others before you have seen to your own faults. The
      most effective form of moral teaching is personal example.
   4. Know thyself.
   5. Seek good companions.
   6. Find a faith that is stronger than fear and allows comfort with
      uncertainty. Be actively grateful and enjoy life.
   7. Get real. Don't misrepresent reality to yourself or others.
   8. Strive regularly to improve your morals with study and active
      practice. Don't pretend this is easy, but remember that doing so
      will generally benefit you even more than those around you.
   9. Recognize that no set of rules, including these, can be universal
      and infallible. Be guided not by these literal words, but by the
      spirit behind them.

Quite some useful material here for Janice and others to consider.

I once again notice how Janice fails to contribute much of anything to
the discussion. Much easier that way I guess :-)
