You managed to train that part of       the brain which does the memory conversion from short-term to long-term       to remain working       while you're asleep, which is good. Or, when you awoke, before your       short-term memory faded, is when you wrote your dreams into your dream       journal. Going over anything in your mind, repeating anything, help the       memory conversion process.                     ----------------------------------------------------------------       ----------------------------------------------------------------       ------------------------              > >       > > Judy Hale wrote:       >       > > > Should we be taking it into our own hands.

I'm very careful of where/how ideas came       about.               If I was an intelligent person in the remote past and understood very       little of science, what would I think about the connection between Life       and Breathing?               If I drown, or don't breath, how long do I live? What do I observe       about all animals, people or otherwise, if they don't breath, they die.       But I'm in ancient times, so...do I understand physical life as a       chemical process?...NO. So what is it that enpowers people, life in all       creatures? I give it a Life Force in my Ignorance. Understadable, we're       all limited by what we think we know.              So, as an intelligent person in the remote past, Life and Breath are       connected. Natural conclusion, quite obvious. So does a baby breath       before it comes out of the mother's body? How can it? So is it alive?       Not really! When does it become alive? Upon first breath, naturally.              That intelligent person in the remote past wasn't stupid. He/she made       the intelligent conclusion based on what was known in their time.              BUT today, we know the baby is feed oxygen throught their blood.       Breathing is about getting oxygen. We use lungs. Fish use gills. Both       for both, it is about getting oxygen to Live.              So can an intelligent person believe the same conclusion as his remote       intelligent ancestor? Only if he is Stupid.                     God's breath gave life to Adam? Eve came from Adam's rib? Do you believe       in that? Is a woman somehow inferior to Man, being she came from a rib?                     Look the stars don't waver much. So the heavens about are perfection,       reserved for the God's and Angels. That was natural thinking once. But       what do we know today? Super novas and violence all over the cosmos.       Even our sun flares up.                     Babies soon to be born are alive. A fetus struggles everyday to grow       into something more, to become a full person. Just as an aging body       begins to break down and pave its way to death. One has live, served an       experience, a purpose. The other was about to start, but someone, more       concerned with their own self, their own       life style, made a choice, whoever that fetus would be, takes away from       a life style.              I never said killing abortion doctors is OK. But they kill. To me, they       kill with the same rational as the SS had in their minds for killing       Jews.                      SS       Abortion Doctor        ______________________       _____________________               Jews are not true humans.       Fetus are not true humans.        It isn't murder to kill a non-human. It       isn't murder to kill a non-human.        It is better for the welfare of German lives. It       is for the welfare of the mother.        Besides we'll made profit from it.       Besides abortion doctors have to make a living.               Is this guy is innocent???...................................if       this guy is? Specially if it is a Jewish doctor?                            ----------------------------------------------------------------       ----------------------------------------------------------------       -------------------------                            > > > "Alan B.
