We read about shootings every day in the paper. I should be used to it, but I’m not. Saturday, I was nearly shot by a police officer who thought I was an intruder when I was house-sitting.

I am angry that my friends think they have to hire a security company for fear of being robbed. I am angry I could have been shot and killed by the very person hired to protect me. I am angry that this mor... Full story

Mr. Bowles and Dr. Sisel might consider that Einstein wrote, “The idea of a personal god is quite alien to me and s...
