:''See [[Sexual reproduction]], for a more [[Biology|biological]] perspective of all life.''
[[Humanity|Human]] '''procreation''' includes the process of conceiving and bearing offspring, but is not limited to biological simplicity. Procreation was ordained by God from the very beginning when He created Adam and Eve. After God created them, He blessed them and said, "...Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it...".<ref>Genesis 1:28 "God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'" ([[New American Standard Bible|NASB]])</ref> It is one of the most essential activities of humanity, in order for humanity to sustain itself.

==Eternal aspects of human procreation==
One of the crucial differences between animal sexual reproduction and human procreation, is that when a new human being is conceived, that child is an eternal being.

'''Peace''' is the absence of [[war]].

Peace is one of the fruits of the [[Holy Spirit]].

The [[Fruits of the Holy Spirit]] are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them.

Talk:Affirmative Action

2007-10-28T23:05:33Z

Docjoe:

So it originally meant taking positive steps to ensure that discrimination would stop. Now it mostly means using discrimination in the present as a "remedy" for discrimination in the past: quotas, set asides, preferences.

The object no longer is (if it ever was!) to make a level playing field - where each gets the results proportional to his skill and effort. Rather the definition is "equal outcomes", a [[socialist]] ideal where everyone gets the same whether they even bother to invest themselves or just sit around doing nothing.

Let's explore the relationship of Liberal support for "affirmative action" with Liberal opposition to [[school vouchers]]. School vouchers favor parents who want to put their children in better schools so their effort will be rewarded with achievement. School voucher opponents want everyone to get the same quality of education - i.e., a low dull homogenized blah where mediocrity is the norm and excellence is stifled. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 17:23, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

We need to talk about court cases and stuff, like Bakke, and Michigan, and all that.

Julius Caesar

[[Image:Caesar.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Julius Caesar]]
'''Gaius Julius Caesar''' lived from 100–44 B. C. He was a [[Roman]] military & political leader and one of most influential people in [[history]]. A brilliant general, he laid the groundwork for the future [[Roman empire]].

==Early Political Career==
In 60 B.C. Julius Caesar joined with the wealthy [[Marcus Crassus]] and the powerful Roman general and statesman [[Pompey|Pompey the Great]] to rule [[Rome]] as the first [[triumvirate]]. In 59 B.C. Julius Caesar became consul and used his position to gain favor with the public, such as by distributing grain to the poor.

Julius Caesar then made himself the provincial ruler (proconsul) of [[Gaul]] (modern-day [[France]]). He conquered vast amounts of territory for Rome and, while fighting abroad, sent written reports back to Rome of the victories he was winning to sustain his popularity and to ensure that the people did not forget him. Back in Rome, Julius Caesar’s plan was working, and Pompey became increasingly jealous (by this time, Crassus had died in battle). Pompey, with the support of the Senate, objected to Julius Caesar’s actions and ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. He refused, and in an act of direct defiance to the [[Senate]], led his loyal troops across the Rubicon River to Rome and conquered it in 49 B. C. The expression, “crossing the Rubicon” is used today to describe an act from which there is no turning back. Julius Caesar went on to defeat Pompey at the [[Battle of Pharsalus]] in 48 B.C. This left Julius Caesar firming in control of Rome, and he then took his veteran army on campaigns in [[Egypt]] (where he installed ally [[Cleopatra]] as queen), Asia Minor, [[Africa]] and [[Spain]] before returning to Rome again in 45 B.C. Rome ruled much of the Western civilized world as result of these military campaigns. It is interesting to note that Caesar did not start his string of incredible military victories until he was well into middle age. The Roman Senate appointed Julius Caesar as dictator for life in 46 B.C. He is widely considered to be a homosexual. <ref>http://www.lambda.org/famous.htm<ref>

{{Rome}}

==Later Career and Death==
The Roman Senate was less than pleased with Caesar's actions as dictator. In a conspiracy famously recounted in [[Shakespeare]]’s play “Julius Caesar,” [[Cassius]] and [[Brutus]] and up to 60 others agreed to stab and kill Julius Caesar when he entered the Senate on the “Ides of March” (March 15, 44 B.C.). After he died, Rome fell into chaos for 13 years as rivals strove for power. Julius Caesar had named his 18-year-old grandnephew, [[Gaius Octavius]], to be his heir. Gaius Octavius also intended to inherit his adopted father's political power. Others wanted [[Mark Antony]]. Cassius and Brutus also had armies of their own. First a triumvirate of Octavian, Antony and Lepidus defeated the armies of Cassius and Brutus, and that ended the republican rule by the Senate. Octavius went on in history to become Augustus, the first Roman Emperor.

==Contributions==

Julius Caesar instituted the 12-month, 365-day [[Julian Calendar]], which provided the foundation for the [[Gregorian Calendar]] adopted later by a [[pope]] and used to this day. Julius Caesar also granted religious rights to the [[Jews]] in [[Palestine]], so that the Jewish religion could be practice outside the requirements of Roman religious law. An uneasy practice of the Jewish faith thus continued in the Roman empire up to and through the time of [[Christ]]. Julius Caesar, as all Roman generals, campaigned strenuously on behalf of his veterans, in particular with regards to the gifting of land.
Roman culture flourished in the struggles during the lifetime of Julius Caesar, and those which followed his assassination. Notably, [[Cicero|Marcus Tullius Cicero]] (106-43 B.C.) became one of the leading writers and orators. His works are read to this day in [[Latin]] courses, as he established a high standard for Latin [[prose]]. The language enabled powerful concepts to be expressed succinctly, and often Latin phrases are used today in the legal system and elsewhere. But there was no freedom of speech in ancient Rome, and when Cicero’s work the Philippics criticized Mark Antony in 43 B.C., he responded by putting Cicero to death.

Harmonica

2007-10-27T03:59:32Z

Docjoe: irrelevant in regards to music

The '''harmonica''' is a musical instrument consisting of a series of small reeds held in place. The player blows into them, producing a very distinctive sound. The harmonica is often associated with the [[blues]], and was invented by 16-year old Friedrich Buschmann in 1821. [http://www.euxton.com/harmonica/history.htm]
