hope

I’m loosing hope.  Specifically, I’m loosing hope in the thought processes & decision making processes of our own people, in particular.  For an example, I’ll use two of my favorite topics, religion & politics.

I’ve touched on this subject before, but what spurred me to thinking about it seriously was a small story in the TU on the bottom of the religion page of Friday, 09.07.07.  It told of some state park naturalists visiting the new creation museum.  They went there to try & resolve opposing views of evolution/creationism.  Creationism holds that the earth was created in six days about six thousand years ago & that man was created in his present form.  Evolution holds a different theory.  The earth is billions of years old and that man has evolved from lower forms of life to his present form.

Allow me to take a detour from my usual ramblings about wine to talk about something that has the potential to change our world. It's about an exhibit currently on display at the Main Jacksonville Public Library.

Are there any secrets in your family? There used to be plenty in the life of Sala Garncarz Kirshner.

It was in 1991 when Sala was told she had to have heart bypass surgery that she decided to come clean with her daughter, Ann Kirshner.
