A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

... where you read:
"Doctors said the injuries sustained by the two were consistent from a lightning strike.
But those on the river find that hard to believe.
The sky was clear. Harding even held an umbrella over the brothers to shade them from the sun. No one heard a noise or saw a flash.
The so-called "bolt from the blue" is a bit of a misnomer, but it is possible, according to Richard Kithil, founder and chief executive officer of the National Lightning Safety Institute, a nonprofit group based in Denver, Colo.
Lightning always has to come from a cloud, but it can travel up to 40 miles from its source - seemingly from out of nowhere, he explained.
There were storms in other parts of the county at 4:15 p.m. Sunday.
A lightning strike on the ground will create a field of static that makes hair stand on end and a sharp smell of ozone. The same effect occurs in water strikes, although to a lesser degree.
The water was packed with other swimmers, but Kithil said lightning's effects dissipate rapidly in water; anyone greater than 10-20 feet away wouldn't feel a jolt. "
The strike in the cave occurred on August 16th... the strike in the river occurred September 16th.
That's strange, too.
