Selective weeding and aid are paradoxal
It's amusing to hear this coming from someone who so eloquently chastisted others on picking and choosing from Christian doctrine. The very act of aiding anybody comes from a sense of compassion,...

ASCE report still makes a good point
Sure there is an issue of bias concerning ASCE, but not to the degree the NEA would. ASCE is hardly that politicized, and civil engineers are not in a lurch for work. Taking even the mildest bias...
