Postmaster of the domain: S/he accepts complaints about SPAM (junk email). In the complaint, full header information must be enclosed (including forged headers) so the sender can be tracked down. To capture email headers, first right click on an email message, then select Properties from the drop down menu. In the window that appears, click on the Details tab - this contains the header information.

Refugees (not criminals): They are potential gold mines (long-term investments). They are not mentally disabled (who deserve no less pity). Even physically disabled people can be turned into productive human beings (or service givers). In the present era, financially successful people don't honour any 'debt of gratitude' anymore. And so some sort of 'debt scheme' with compassion has to be invented/established.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt: "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

First Cousins: Contrary to widely held beliefs, there is no biological reason to discourage them from marrying, scientists say.

In the general population, the risk that a child will be born with a serious birth defect, mental retardation or other genetic diseases like spina bifida or cystic fibrosis is 3 to 4 per cent; to that risk, first cousins must add another 1.7 to 2.8 percentage points, according to their report.

"Although the increase represents a near doubling of the risk, the result is still not considered large enough to discourage people from having children, said Arno Motulsky, an emeritus professor of medicine and genome sciences at the University of Washington, and senior author of a report published in The Journal of Genetic Counselling ...."

He said that even at its worst of 7 per cent, "93 per cent of the time, nothing is going to happen". (Source: The Sydney Morning Herald, April 6-7, 2002, p.23)

[What about if the first cousins' parents and grandparents are all children of first counsins as well? Ex 34:6 - Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; Ex 34:7 - who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations." (And into future generations?) Do genes record everything? ]

Chosen People: De 14:2 - "For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Og Mandino: (The Greatest Secret In The World; 1972; page 51)

"I am nature's greatest miracle."

"Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. All men (and women) are my brothers (and sisters) yet I am different from each. I am a unique creature..."

"I am nature's greatest miracle."

"I am rare, and there is value in all rarity; therefore, I am valuable. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men who preceded me..."
