Hmmm.... If it is safe to enter the realms of speculation... Bizarre Mormon speculation at that? ... Sounds dangerous... I don't believe Jesus is the Savior for only our earth, based on that The Book of Mormon describes Christ's sacrifice as an "Infinite Atonement." So, I'm going to specul...

I voted yes on the school vouchers. It wasn't for any of the reasons they were advertising, though. I voted for them mostly because when I pay my taxes for education, I believe I am paying for a students education, not a gift certificate that can only be used at one place.

To me, the reason we are supposed to support the troops is because few supported the troops in Vietnam. When they came home, it was to a country where the majority hated them.

The Simpsons Movie

Yeah, I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time. + I liked that it was very much like the TV show. Just as funny, and just as quotable. - I felt Bart's nude scene was inappropriate even for The Simpsons. I laughed anyway, though, so I feel guilty. Yeah, it was great. I give it 4/5 stars.
