"I can call you with the highlights from the autopsy report when it comes in." "That would be nice," Hannah said carefully, still not sure why Mike was being so cooperative.

| 7f8863d | God loves my people and me. God also loves those whom I consider my enemies. Now what do I do? The spirit of truth does not see the world in either-or or binary form. Technologies are not always against nature. Human action and nature's process are not always at odds with each other. Globalism and localism are not mutually exclusive.

| d9a1016 | This is the moral, Oh My Best Beloved: never kill anyone for a 'Cause'. For why not, Uncle Basher? Because causes don't pay, Little Friend of all the World.
