Well, I play according to the idea "better play it safe now to avoid too much praying later on".

Anyway, my first click was a result of both C-SPAN and NPR during the second half of my life, in USA, before I returned my green card...

PS My pastor, just across our crossings of fences (his backyard diagonally to mine) did not really understand my questions, so I decided to not ask again, I had heard he had enough of problems.

However, I have understood there is a rumour his wife might have answered, but there are always rumours.

PPS Anyway, I am happy to hear their kids shout happy, honest profanities every now and then.
(the wife and me agree on spanking and that kids should be kids, and adults should be adults)

64. Moderate at council should a man be,
Not brutal and over bearing:
Among the bold the bully will find
Others as bold as he.

76. Cattle die, kindred die,
Every man is mortal:
But the good (+remembered) name never dies
Of one who has done well (+honestly).

77.Cattle die, kindred die,
Every man is mortal:
But I know one thing that never dies,
The glory (positive afterspeak) of the great(ouch) dead.

Ouch, that english...

That 'glory' should actually be 'memory' and that 'great' does only exist in english, as 'great'..
