Not surprisingly, Barack Obama's trajectory was at center stage this week. But the Propeller community also sounded off about Darwinian evolution, the drooping economy, and Hillary Clinton's tax returns (now you see them, now you don't).

There were some uncivil moments, some theological spitballs, but I chose not to focus on those. In general the tone was surprisingly tolerant, given the kind of hot-button issues under discussion.

It's apparent that Hillary is a hater and she'll try trickery to get in office. The discussion about taxes is a
subject not yet resolved and probably will never. We need to get alot of those old heads out of office and reflect on humanistic/humility, helping each other and not crushing each other. America has alot of trash to sift through, so let's get to sifting. We need to quit wasting time on steriods cases, before the senate, etc, and deal with more imminent issues such the fema trailer dishonesty and place those people in some of these government properties that their trying to sale, for free. You've destroyed their lives, poisoned their children for life and you want to waste my hard earned money talking and arguing about someone lying about using steriods;Let's talk about your lie!!!!!!!

Thanks for another fine review of this week's best chuckles, James. But there is a growing problem. I use Firefox, and a growing number of stories including a host of the hottest ones for the past week crash the browser every single time I open them. I sure hope something can be done about this. I'd like to comment on some of them.

Good snapshot, James!
BTW, I am still waiting to hear from you about the problem with the "plus" sign ( ) that gets dropped out when a comment gets posted on the thread!
Like the one inside the parenthesis just did!
Peace and Blessings!
