It's not the water per say. A car, laptop or airplane that is in fresh water will not work without an overhaul. The salt water produces corrosion that fresh does not. That is why military aircraft operated near the sea get washed so mu

Khan Academy has some good personal finance videos. I really appreciated the videos on the US income tax system, as it explains very well how the system is progressive.

I never understood this since I worked for the US military for 22 years. Everyone knew exactly what everyone else made, including extra duty pay, housing allowances, bonuses, etc. We never bitched about the pay someone else was making. It

That is part of the ritual law, something a follower/disciple of Jesus is not required to do. In fact as a follower of Jesus there are no rules other than 2. Love God and love others. Everything else flows from that as far as the instr

Don't use the "but think of the children" argument. If makes no sense and just plays to emotions, rather than logic.

That is not correct. While SOME religions teach this, not the majority. Marin County, which is not a hot bed of any religion other than yoga pants, EV, soylent drinks etc, is the largest population of anti-vaxxers in California. https:&#x2
