![]() ![]() AyyavazhiAyyavazhi is a belief system that originated in South India in the 19th century. Many consider it a Hindu sect—including the majority of its followers—however, academics often define it as an independent monistic religion. While its ideology is quite similar to that of Hinduism, some Ayyavazhi beliefs and practices differ from the Hindu tradition, especially those relating to the concepts of good and evil as well as dharma.

It began when, in 1970, following setbacks in the Space Race, Soviet scientists looked downward. Digging on the remote Kola Peninsula for some 20 years, they reached a depth of 40,230 feet (12,262 m)—about a third of the way through the Earth's crust—before being forced to stop due to higher-than-expected temperatures of 350° F (180° C).

That interview was pathetic. I saw a woman on television who said she was voting for Palin, that she thought she could invite her into her home for "snacks." Since when does that qualify one for next-in-line to the highest office in the land? Shudder.

The thought of her being next-in-line for the office of President....scares me.
The idea of her being in the VP seat is scarey indeed! The scariest part is that there are those that support her.
