How Giant Are The Giant Sequoias?

August 21st, 2009 | 0 Comments | Travelogues |

The biggest of these trees are 3000 years old, saplings when David took down Goliath. How big are they? A bet­ter ques­tion might be, “how small are you?”

Imag­ine the biggest tree near you. A really big one, like a 200-year-old oak or an espe­cially wide sycamore. Then take a Ken doll or a Bar­bie doll and put it down next to it. That’s you next to a giant sequoia.

Trampling the Constitution?

August 12th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Politics |

Con­ser­v­a­tives really ought to be care­ful try­ing to haul God into the fight over health­care reform, because their own reli­gious teach­ings don’t back them up.
