Yes. And I look forward to your becoming conversant in the differences between "homoousian" and "homoiousian". It is way more entertaining than it appears.

I support a new 2% gate tax in Anaheim if the money is used for real social programs to help the people, including programs to help the abused women, and the foster children, and the drug addicts, and the extreme poor and disabled, etc. We also need to teach English to our new immigrants, and we need physical structures for clubs such as Kiwanis, and Scouting, etc.

But if the money is just going to go to raises for the cops and business as usual, then I do not support the tax. I am tired of the corruption, and if the money is just going to make the cops fatter, then I do not support it. But, if we create real social programs to help the most vulnerable, then I support the tax.

Salute,

Well, I recall something about Santa Claus punching a guy in the face at Nicaea.  Arius got the beatdown from He Who Would Later Be Jolly St. Nick for his notion that Christ was not co-eternal with God, therefore not divine but a subordinate created thingy.  I expect there is some entertainment in the attempts to work out the essence of Christ leading to a brawl..  I have no recollection of those hideous vowel spillages you wrote, but will give the floating heads video a chance to illuminate.  Or demystify or whatever the term is.

Homoousian is of the same substance (we now use the term "consubstantial" to us Catholics, I believe Protestants still use one in being, or similar language). Homoiousian is of a similar substance. And yes there were fights though to others it does not make one iota of difference. So to speak....

We need to connect the 988 Line directly to our Wellness Centers, and Mental Health Associations, and also safe houses for abused women ( some may have children with them when they escape ), etc.

We need to make sure that when people call the 988 number that there are the resources to support the number, when people call then the people need to be able to get help.

Salute,

Har!
I wish I could claim that as original, but it is allegedly the source of the phrase, though it sounds retrofitted to me.

Anyway, some of my favorite EH bits, 8ncluding an April Fool joke and more disembodied heads than you can shake a disembodied fist at. The last two three are the first episodes of a series:

I like how they tell stories, and their focus being for the most part away from Western European history.

I worked at the Colt for 2 years as a cook, our head chef was a retired chef from Beverly Hills and they taught me how to cook and how to run a restaurant, I cooked and ran the night shift with me, and my waitress, and a dishwasher. One of my waitresses was the daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York. Mostly our customers were travelers including truckers, and local Gold miners, and some local ranchers and farmers, etc.

Battle Mountain is a good safe spot for our new immigrants, and land is only $1,000 per acre.

Guns are great.
Americans are so lucky to be able to own and carry guns with which to protect themselves from vile, sadistic, killer scumbags lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce.
Lovely fulltime RV couple James and Michelle Butler were murdered and their RV stolen by such vile scumbags, a man and a woman.
They killed James and Michelle and buried them in the sand dune behind their campsite on Padre Island Texas.
The vile killers then drove the stolen RV into Mexico.
Caught and extradicted back to Texas.
Killer an ex-con, tattooed neck, muscular...James and Michelle were easy prey.
*
After this, many in the RV community say they are now more security conscious.

If I were an RVer in America I'd be armed with an assault rifle or two, a pump-action shotgun and multiple handguns.

You can't even go camping anymore without finishing up dead and buried staring you in the face.

Campers have been turned into 'sitting ducks' by thieves and killers.
This must be changed.

Whereupon the scumbag in question would have your dead body, an assault rifle or two, a pump-action shotgun and multiple handguns.

Plus your RV in which to try to escape to Mexico.

Mostly, people don't walk around with all those weapons in their hands every minute of the day - and even if they did, if somebody comes up behind them and puts a gun to their heads, saying "drop the weapons," the weapons get dropped.

If the killer bothered talking to them at all.
