My review of the Big Finish adventure #58 The Harvest is now available at Amazon.com here.
This adventure introduces Hex as the 3rd companion of the 7th doctor. He is a first class character and a great addition to the series. It you are one who likes to listen or read books in order you likely want to grab this one before you get any more of the 7th doctor adventures after number #58.
…but it seems to me that the Dodgers were bidding against themselves here.
I loved watching Manny play. My Sox won two world series with him here. It was great seeing him in the victory parade, and I still think the Catch it, Hi-five the fan and throw to first for the double play was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in baseball, but there was no reason to give in if you are the Dodgers.
It will remain to be seen what happens when the games actually count.
…if you are in favor of abortion rights:
Selective abortion of female fetuses is common in China, India, and some other Asian countries. A Plos One report finds that Vietnam shows signs of following the same pattern with a rise in the number of male births to 100 female births (Sex Ratio at Birth or SRB).
As a person who thinks abortion is the murder of a living person I think selective abortion is an abomination. What I can’t understand is the reaction of people who are pro abortion.
And I’d like to know why it’s an unfortunate thing? Is it an unfortunate think like a flat tire or is it something bad and tragic. If it is something bad why is it something bad? Why would it be tragic? Is pulling a bad tooth tragic?
This is the dance that people make when they know in their gut that something is actually wrong but are unwilling to say it. That would force a moral choice that people are unwilling to make as Frank Turek talked about on another subject.
The Curt Jester uses my favorite phrase in an article about another priest who needs a visit to his confessor:
The only reason to be Catholic is because it is true – that’s it.
He elaborates:
I just don’t understand what their ecclesiology can possibly mean other than just being a form of Catholic tribalism. If I believed what they believed of the Church I would denounce the Church as evil and would want no part of it. The Protestant so-called Reformers were at least honest in realizing their theology of the Church was quite at odds with the Church.
This is what drives me nuts about pseudo Catholics. When I sin I tend to know I’m sinning. It bothers me and my inability to conquer it is painful and embarrassing particularly when I’m trying to teach my kids. These guys along with people like Andrew simply re-define sin so they can have their sin without the guilt. I know I need confession, and I know I need the prayers of my fellow believers if I’m going to win the race. These guys are trying to convince themselves that they’ve already won. Madness.
But in the end it will be little comfort to me or anyone else if we all suffer the same fate. This is why we have lent to help us from that fate.
