Have I missed something?

There is something happening in our society at this time that has me just a little or maybe a lot confused. The events of the last month have brought some confusion to my thinking and with some with whom I have presented my query. So I will present it here hoping for someone who will try to help me understand.

Point one.
There is a portion of our society that stands back and says, “What? We don’t need that piece of paper. We are in love. That little piece of paper won’t mean a thing. We have our love, isn’t that all that all we need? Will we be more in love after we get it?”

Point two.
Then another portion of our society stands back and demands. “We want that little piece of paper. We are entitled to it. We want to get married. We will get the courts to give us this right.” They are making every effort to get that little piece of paper.

Now, would someone invest the time to try and show me what is going on?

Structure,

“Structure is the means of moral living.”

“Biblical structure tends to bring more deep seated pleasure and to foster longer, healthier lives.”

“Morality simply demands pleasure on the long term (God’s terms) rather than on impulse.”

“Morality is concerned with long term lasting results.”

“A train is free to run most rapidly and freely when it is “confined” to the tracks.”

“Holiness always has good results.”

Don’t laugh! These are not the quotation of a Pentecostal writer. Has anyone, beside self, read a book titled, “Competent to Counsel?”(pgs 160 – 161)

The base of this chapter is that we as humans need a structure to live and move within. The best and only true structure is the Ten Commandments. Along with the point that we need to have instructors to teach us the structure that Jesus desires us to have in the New Testament.

Oh, I am reading this book for the third time;

D.N.A.

I lifted this article from the Ney York Times this morning,

The same technology could be applied to any other extinct species from which one can obtain hair, horn, hooves, fur or feathers, and which went extinct within the last 60,000 years, the effective age limit for DNA.
Though the stuffed animals in natural history museums are not likely to burst into life again, these old collections are full of items that may contain ancient DNA that can be decoded by the new generation of DNA sequencing machines.
If the genome of an extinct species can be reconstructed, biologists can work out the exact DNA differences with the genome of its nearest living relative. There are talks on how to modify the DNA in an elephant’s egg so that after each round of changes it would progressively resemble the DNA in a mammoth egg. The final-stage egg could then be brought to term in an elephant mother, and mammoths might once again roam the Siberian steppes.
The same would be technically possible with Neanderthals, whose full genome is expected to be recovered shortly, but there would be several ethical issues in modifying modern human DNA to that of another human species.

Here is the link to the complete story.

Will this ever be done, knowing that ever is a LONG time?

Just a thought;

OH Thank you! I have found it!

Thank you OH thank you so much for your help.
I only have one more request.
Would someone help me to make sure I get it screwed on correct?

Auto Bailout (Union ??)

I am afraid that there is more truth than fiction to this cartoon.
