It's been a while since I've done one of my signature posts, hasn't it? I'm kind of upset at myself for letting my blog come this way, but at the same time I'm busy and I'm sure you all were thinking "Oh, thank goodness; he hasn't done one of his signature posts in a while!!!" Well...to tell the truth, nothing has come to mind that I actually remembered. So I'm going to patiently think until a good subject I like to talk about comes up. And then I begin typing away on it.
.......Actually what I'd like to do later on (maybe before or right after Christmas) is re-post my research on music files and the legalities of it all. But right now I'm not exactly where it is in the archives.
So there is a subject I'd like to talk about. Moral law, it's everywhere, and it's been everywhere. We talk about Indians being ignorant in their actions before we moved into America, which is true about Faith, but they were likely to be very aware of right and wrong. Because God has given everyone conscience since the beginning of time, everyone has been able to put an accurate distinction between right and wrong. I'm guessing things that are part of their lives, such as tribal feuds (and hence, tribal fights) and everything would probably seem O.K. to them, but I wonder if, when scalping, what they would have felt about something like that. But conscience is constantly ignored these days, as well. We've got abortion, theft, murder, liberals (I just wanted to add that one in :-p ) and many other things. There are illegal surgeries (some legal ones, too) and crimes that you hear about some way or the other that makes you think, "How can someone possibly do something like that?"...I don't read the newspaper often, heck I rarely check the news anymore. But about less than two weeks ago I picked up our daily news. On the front page I read about three different crimes...it's rather depressing. But at the same time, there are so many good things still out there and you think that it's probably all been the same throughout the world; bad things are seemingly everywhere, just as are good things.
So basically I just rambled with this post, didn't I? I guess I'm not too good at talking to a computer. I think I'll try this subject with someone in person later on...preferably Jonathan, he's always got answers and knowledge and the know-hows of things (so if you've got anything to talk about, go to him). :-D
So............what does everyone want for Christmas?

All I Want For Christmas Is You
The following is a paragraph from chapter 9 of The Series of Unfortunate Events: The End. It is also very interesting to read. :-D
The phrase "in the dark," as I'm sure you know, can refer not only to one's shadowy surroundings, but also to the shadowy secrets of which one might be unaware. Every day, the sun goes down over all these secrets, and so everyone is in the dark in one way or another. If you are sunbathing in a park, for instance, but you do not know that a locked cabinet is buried fifty feet beneath your blanket, then you are in the dark even though you are not actually in the dark, wheras if you are on a midnight hike, knowing full well that several ballerinas are following close behind you, then you are not in the dark even if you are in fact in the dark. Of course, it is quite possible to be in the dark in the dark, as well as to be not in the dark not in the dark, but there are so many secrets in the world that it is likely that you are always in the dark about one thing or another, whether you are in the dark in the dark or in the dark not in the dark, although the sun can go down so quickly that you may be in the dark about being in the dark in the dark, but in the dark in the dark nonetheless, not only because of the dark, but because of the ballerinas in the dark, who are not in the dark about the dark, but also not in the dark about the locked cabinet, and you may be in the dark about the ballerinas digging up the locked cabinet in the dark, even though you are no longer in the dark about being in the dark, and so you are in fact in the dark about being in the dark, evn though you are not in the dark about being in the dark, and so you may fall into the whole the balllerinas have dug, which is dark, in the dark, and in the park.
..........................Can anybody follow this? I mean, I had to type this and all, but it still hurts my head just to follow along with it. I only wish I can do this good with the "I know what you know what you think...etc."
