In some European countries, bicycles are free to rent on many streets. Books to take and read and return are even better or just to look through while waiting for a bus. How could anyone be against that? Oh wait, a bureaucrat who has no imagination could.

]]> Comment on An Easter Miracle by mary http://themcglynn.com/2013/03/an-easter-miracle/comment-page-1#comment-44268 mary Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:13:02 +0000 http://themcglynn.com/?p=62483#comment-44268 Colum, I could not agree more with your statement. I do not begrudge anyone their belief in a divinity; if it helps them get “through the night.” But when such a belief overwhelmingly shapes national policies and our understanding of the natural world, then, it can be dangerous.

This shows the influence that religion has on the minds of mankind. It would be helpful to their understanding and true meaning of the written word for them to grasp the history of language and remove themselves from the tunnel where they reside.

The word miracle comes from the Latin miraculum, which is derived from mirari (to wonder). Thus, the most general characterization of a miracle is an event that causes wonder. As such, it must also be in some way unusual, extraordinary, or contrary to our expectations. Nevertheless, there have been numerous definitions of miracles, and it is difficult to present a detailed and commonly accepted one.1-3 But there are some aspects of miracles to which almost all definitions point, namely, miracles being extraordinary, related to nature (being in some sense beyond, above, contrary to nature, etc.), and triggered by factors differing from natural causes that are already known.

]]> Comment on Barbara Boxer, AIPAC seek to codify Israel’s right to discriminate against Americans by the o'leary http://themcglynn.com/2013/04/barbara-boxer-aipac-seek-to-codify-israels-right-to-discriminate-against-americans/comment-page-1#comment-44117 the o'leary Sat, 13 Apr 2013 20:10:29 +0000 http://themcglynn.com/?p=62770#comment-44117 This does not surprise me at all. It is just another instance where Israel is thought to be unique among nations and not to be held to the same laws as other countries. For example, what other country is allowed to steal the land of another people without any repercussions???
