[MD] atomic bomb and torture

[Arlo J. Bensinger]

Welcome Amirman,

Yep, what Horse said. :-) The forum has been heavy lately on politics and Ham's
essentialism. "Spiritual Adriondak", or SA in short, has added a newness (dare
I say "dynamism") to many threads. And there are many others "hidden under the
eaves" that will come out to play depending on the topic. Don't let engagement
with Platt consume you, like it has me... HELP ME! HELP ME!! :-) There is much
more here than that.
