Exodus 21: 22-25 (New International Version) "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows.
But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.You can read the whole chapter here: http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=Exodus+21&version=NIV&showfn=yes&showxref=yes&language=english . Matthew 5: 38-42 (New International Version) Jesus is speaking: You have heard that it was said, `Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. Complete chapter here: http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=Matthew+5&version=NIV&showfn=yes&showxref=yes&language=englishBingley

>The reason we still have the death penalty is because most Americans stand firmly by their Christian roots and conclude that "an eye for an eye" is fair. Thank you Mr Bingley for your research. It ocurred to me that I can't think of a European country which has been so keen to follow its "Christian" roots: Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Vatican City, or maybe we just aint "Christian" enough. In checking my facts, I came across the following article in Time Magazine: Concerning the question of capital punishment, the U.S. and its allies stand on opposite sides of a great divide. All 15 members of the European Union have banned the death penalty, and the organization actively promotes its abolition throughout the world. Brussels has made abolition a precondition to E.U. membership, as has the 41-member Council of Europe, thereby spurring most East and Central European aspirants to do away with capital punishment.http://www.time.com/time/europe/eu/magazine/0,9868,109552,00.html

of a body in motion to stay in motion while undisturbed.
Not quite. The body will remain as it was, while undisturbed - meaning in motion, if it was already in motion, or immobile, if it was already immobile.

re: "shame on you. Insull really got a dirty deal. J.P.Morgan so diddled the stock market"
You are reading wwaayy too much into my post! I have NO idea at what you're getting at with your reply - simply wanted to know if "insulation" was named after Mr Insull? And if not - what a coincidence - him being in the electrical game and all.

Dear Stales: you have to be kidding. Insulation is from "insula=island". Actually reading encyclopedia bio of Insull, I wonder if J.P.Morgan's maneuver to force price of Insull's stock down was not one of the triggers of the Great Depression.

Forgive my twenty-five year old physics, but isn't inertia measured by the amount of force required to bring about a change of velocity or direction?

Here is a guide to inertia that appears to be less than 25 years old: Newton's first law of motion states that "An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." Objects "tend to keep on doing what they're doing." In fact, it is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. This tendency to resist changes in their state of motion is described as inertia.
Inertia = the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion.http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/newtlaws/u2l1b.html

When the day comes the we do actually® have most of Americans represented, I'll jump into this discussion... until then, y'all just "playing tennis" with words... except maybe CapK, who, hasn't had a history of such *gaming.

Cute, musick! That's the second 3-way play on words today!
But, my Dear, if by "exozzie" you are referring to Capital
Kiwi, may I strongly recommend that you post a correction/retraction/abject apology asap? Or he may just serve you up something quite unpalatable...

I'm *officially down-grading this from obfuciary to ancillary... (and don't forget my current *sense of direction) ...fwiw, "abed each night" is about the same time as "plum early"!  PBS teleported a sit-com from BBC titled "Are you being served?"... any more hints necessary and I'm moving to Jakarta. BTW, how are you, Bingley? Safe. I hope.

thanks a bunch for up-clearing *that.You're welcome, Sweetie! Served up a bed of commentary on that racquet, didn't I? Did you like my numixmatic word, "cryptical"? [aside-whisper e] (Now watch, you-all, he'll up and tell me that's a real word.) Dr. Bill, I forgot to tell you earlier: I LOVED your word, "Zildtch"! Very apt, it were. My Sweet musick, if you go to Jakarta, I'm coming with you.

gonna be hard for those Nor'Easters to rise from that bed of ashes...
as they say during the basketball playoffs, it was just one game. i've heard some comparisons to the '60 world serious, in which the Yanks blew out the Pirates in a game or three only to lose the ultimate and seventh game to what these days is called a walkoff home run, by a weak-hitting infielder.
