own homework? I understand a desire to raise awareness about lupus and to share information. But don't people realize they are not helping the questioners learn? The assignments are to teach them how to find and distill information. Giving them the answers, especially on a Sunday when the project is most likely due the next day, is a disservice to the students.

The American College of Rheumatology 11 criteria for lupus were established as a means of selecting people for clinical trials. Different criteria carry different weight in the diagnositic process. Lupus is complex to diagnose. Why do people think they can just check off the criteria and then diagnose themselves?

Almost have the questions and answers in here are on this topic. Does anyone realize that there is no resolution in this debate, but while the debate continues ad nauseum, people are missing the opportunity and responsibility to be fully present in the creation that they theorize about?

I just came back from observing the closing of Catholic Heart Work Camp in Tampa, Florida. About 250 teens from around the country spent the week working very hard to help the poor, disabled and abandoned.

Can all the haters and nay sayers in here take a minute to rejoice in kids who give of themselves in this way>

I am not Catholic. I work for them. I am not always sure I am Christian, at least not in the way most perceive Christianity.

But I do hope you will join me in giving thanks every time young people or any people, put aside fear and hatred and selfish aims to reach out to the suffering.

OH, and the music at the closing prayer service nearly made me deaf but I was thankful to be there. Young people are life renewing itself.

Do you honestly think someone who says they want to be Christian so they can "diddle" little boys is a serious seeker?

To Jim-Even Jesus said "Don't cast your pearls before swine."

As long as people continue to reward rude and obnoxious questions with lenghty epistles as answers, the trolls will stay and multiply. Ignore the trolls and they will go somewhere else.

Why? On the 4th anniversary of Bush saying “Mission Accomplished” has the mission NOT been accomplished? And what will YOU do about it?
