Comment by Joan Denoo on January 7, 2013 at 12:57pm: joseph f logston, we live in such an exciting age of discovery. The wonders of it all just fill me with gratitude that I and you and we all are a part of this magnificent universe. My hope is that we can abandon the ways of war to resolve conflict and find better ways of living together. Delusions offer us no freedom.
