Noticed this quote that Dr. Mercola cited on his website related to medicine and our present state of affairs. What caught my attention was the incredible accuracy of this statement considering when it was written. Not having a life study under the 'Declaration of Independence', here is what one signing author said:
1776, Dr. Benjamin Rush
1776, Dr. Benjamin Rush

Yeah, that is very prescient. But, on the other hand, many things in the constitution are totally moot by now.

Yes, totally, yet Rush in 1776 obviously must have been overruled and if not, indeed it would likely be moot, yet it would have had precedence, aside from the general regard for moral health responsibility, which is out the window now.

Yes, that was never established as a general value. It would be interesting to know what were the arguments against including such provisions in the Constitution.

"And if ye cannot be saints of knowledge, then, I pray you, be at least its warriors." -Nietzsche
I like it because it allows me to admit that I may not know everything, or most of anything, or anything at all. But n spite of how little I know, I can still be a "warrior of knowledge,": one who cares about truth, and who fights for truth.

SONG IN SPACE
When man first flew beyond the sky
He looked back into the world's blue eye.
Man said: What makes your eye so blue?
Earth said: The tears in the ocean do.

Why do you weep as you dance through space?
Because I am the mother of the human race.

Does it depend on the kind of love one seeks or demonstrates? i.e. is there STS love and STO love existing simultaneously? Perhaps this is a lame question, but the Corinthians quote seems to be a mixture in that (by my admittedly limited understanding of the matter) STO love might not always be viewed as kind but would always not be self-serving or hopeful. The following quotes express opposing definitions that seem to relate:
