"And though I believe in the ineffable glory of God, and though I might have experienced the undeniable reality of the Deity, and though I may know the secrets of the ages, these do not fulfill the Love in my heart. But to Change and Be and Do and dissolve both the subject of my person and the object of my God into the fluency of Empirical Providence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1294 United States 03/31/2007 05:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've got a huge magnifying glass that is meant to enlarge TV sets... cheap plastic about 3 feet by 2 feet.. now that thing can focus the sun in such a way that I can start a fire in a matter of seconds in the dead of winter by focusing the sunlight on grass, paper, etc. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 198733 United States 03/31/2007 04:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | most fires are started by dry thunderstorms when lightning strikes dried vegetation .. it's unlikely anything could just spontaneously combust. Just think of how much effort it took when you were a kid to start stuff on fire with a magnifying glass....

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 217096where i lived for ten years (at the mediteranean coast), every summer there are several fires (also bigtime fires)with no known cause Life shows its harmony, when you discover your connection to what unfolds. Perfect indeed is the greatness of the receptive , which sustains the birth of all beings and accords with what it receives from heaven. I ching |
