I am a fabulous cook, you just ran into the wrong group of Catholic girls!

Yea....German farm girls and their boxed meals....latina girls with 3,000 variations of rice and beans and Filipina girls and their one pot wonders. I have not had much luck meeting Catholic girls who could cook.....though most were excellent lovers! :)

If States Rights weren't a hallmark of the American Republic, there wouldn't be 50 States to begin with, nor a process for admitting any new ones. They would not figure into Article V's method for ratifying new amendments to the Constitution at all. I could go on without even mentioning the 10th Amendment, but the whole premise of American liberty is that local governments are less able to harm the citizens than distant ones, which is the reason why the Founding Generation protested the distant powers of Great Britain in the first place.

No one is saying that but argument that States rights trumps the legal position of the central government was put to bed in 1865.

Uh-oh. Now it's incoherent and delusional.

Must have hit the Jack Daniels again. Getting an early start on Easter I guess. Good luck with that.

Yes, darla, that's one way to spin the fact that you are an uninformed ass with a big mouth. All the color science in the world can't cover up the ugly fact that all you have is a mean tongue and large vocabulary.

She doesn't use color science, that was my Facebook quote you were reading. It is a very natural mineral makeup. You should try it! It is fabulous stuff.

Even a liberal Catholic can admit that there is a pretty big difference between capital punishment and abortion, in that one is used far more frequently, and that it also has zero victims guilty of a capital offense. As for conservative Catholics, while many will point out that the Church's lack of activism on the subject gives them some latitude, many others are starting to oppose capital punishment. I, myself, wasn't raised to oppose capital punishment, yet I do oppose it now, and have argued many times the benefits to society of ending it.

Sure. But I'm speaking of the Church's formal position on life, not how I want it to be.

As Saint Ambrose writes: "God, who preferred the correction rather than the death of the sinner, did not desire that a homicide be punished by the exaction of another act of homicide."*

I'll check it out. And there's no reason to pay full price for anything, now that we have the internet and the opportunity to compare prices from everywhere. Did I mention I got those boots the three of us were talking about, and had to return them because they sent the wrong color?

I can't stand following recipes. When you understand the process its just so much easier.

I look at cooking as a form of applied chemistry. There are times when your working with stoiciometric ratios in which case you need to be disciplined and follow the formula (recipe) precisely. Baking is a good example of that. Play fast and loose with the formula and you'll end up with something that's not to edible. But much of cooking is non-stoichiometric in which case if one understand the physical/chemical properties of the materials being used and the techniques being applied then formulas/recipes are essentially guidelines and within the parameters of those properties one can play lose and fast with the recipe and use their imagination quite freely to come up with some real tasty eats.

For that reason Alton Browns show "Good Eats" is my favorite cooking show as he teaches these principles quite well as opposed to being formulaic like most cooking shows.

Better living through chemistry. My motto, precisely. ;)
