Re: The Answers to Discussion Topics
Q: Required Reding: What did you read in school?
A: I read our government must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
And we elect them again and again
And that's what I read in school today
That's what I read in school
(With apologies to Tom Paxton / Pete Seeger).

Q : Talk to me about Babbel (I like electronic resources)
A : "And all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all. And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they dwelt there. And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen. And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built. And the Lord said, Behold, one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do. Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour. And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower. On this account its name was called Babbel, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11 : 1 - 9)
