Scientists fear a hole in a 600-mile-long fault line in the Pacific could trigger a catastrophic earthquake that would decimate cities along the northwestern US.

The hole spewing hot liquid sits 50 miles off the shoreline of Oregon, on the boundary of the dipping fault known as Cascadia Subduction Zone, which spans from Northern California into Canada.

This geological feature is capable of unleashing a magnitude-9 earthquake in the Pacific Northwest - and the hole could be the fuel it needs."

Note to God:

It's your call.

No. It's not God's call if it's going to cause damage like that.

But so-called 'damage' is what CAUSED and CREATED the 'LIFE' and 'things', which came along AFTER.

For example if it was NOT for 'that', which CAUSED the 'damage' that CREATED the extinction of the dinosaurs, then 'you', human beings, would NOT have come along, LATER.

So, so-called 'damage' is a VERY RELATIVE 'thing', and solely DEPENDENT UPON 'the observer', itself.

BUT if it was NOT for what could be called 'PREVIOUS damage', then 'that', which exists NOW, of which includes 'you', human beings, would NOT have come-to-exist, and thus would NOT 'now' need so-called 'rescuing'.

I am only a human. All I can do is will the future for humans. I don't know how that translates into the language of others but I will their future as well. That includes AJ.

I am only a human.

So, the proper and correct ANSWER, to the QUESTION, 'Who am 'I'?' IS 'only a human', correct?

I KNOW 'you', "gary childress", CAN DO MUCH MORE than just 'that'.

'that' translates to a 'cop out' or a 'minimization' of what 'you' are REALLY CAPABLE of doing.

I know it does. But I do not will evil upon AJ.

It's natural to express fear of imminent death in irrational prayers. But from your present tranquil state , what sort of deity comes to the rescue of individuals? At this juncture the question is are you going to believe miracles are vanishingly improbable?

I'm not tranquil. I'm worried.

If you are constantly and unremittingly anxious then it's proper for you to be irrational, and also to believe in miracles.

Just try not to talk those who are tranquil into becoming worried.

I have to talk to AJ. He's not well and I'm afraid he's in some position where he can do immense harm with it, however, I'm not sure. I don't know enough about him yet.

I didn't say that. I said you have a right to feel what you do feel as long as what you feel won't harm anyone else, and I respect your feelings.

It's remarkable that people who read the news don't all feel unremittingly anxious and hopeless. I wonder why.

I know you didn't say what I think you said. All is fine. All will be fine. I am one with God if only for an instant in time that is required of me by God.

In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti.

Don't forget to make the sign of the cross.

Excelente!

The beggar, poor devil, breathed his last on 23 February 1967. We'll miss him even though we were never as generous as we should've been with him. The most he got out of any one of us was a penny. Inspector Dick was the exception. Dick isn't rich. How much does a policeman in a small town earn anyway? 2 cents, 3 dimes, 14 quarters and 1 dollar, that was how much Dick set aside for the beggar, poor devil, found with only a torn pair a pants on, under the bridge, half a bottle of stale beer next to his head, his bashed in head, framed in a halo of congealed blood. Dick closed Tom's file a week ago, on a hot Friday. I remember because it was the day when a semi loaded with tomatoes flipped over - squish, squash, squish, squash. 1 cent, 2 dimes, and 9 quarters were missing, the rest, safe and secure ... the irony!

The ABSOLUTE CONTRADICTION and INCONSISTENCY here IS STRIKING.

Considering the Fact that 'that' would be an ABSOLUTE IMPOSSIBILITY, WHY do you find 'this' REMARKABLE?

WHY do you think that the human being here known as "alexis jacobi" is so-called 'not well', and that "alexis jacobi" could do ' immense harm with that 'not wellness' '?

If you don't know, then my hunch is wrong and I will have to seek another route to world peace.
