CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trying to do the right thing.
(Sorry, I thought I did. My question to the question "How big is your vase?" was that I broke my vase so would a mason jar do, but maybe it was misunderstood. I'll try to be more clear next time. Sometimes, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
)Why else would it be called a mason jar?

Did the guy that invented it GET SCREWED of his patent abilities ?
MASON JAR
Ever since the mason jar was invented, it has been a household necessity. It provides a perfect means for making home preserves. The jars, made of glass have wide mouths with a glass or metal screw and are perfect containers.
The jar was invented by John L. Mason, a New Yorker, in 1857 and patented the next year. The jars carried the inscription Masons Patent Nov. 30th, 1858. Mason had a metalwork shop in New York but began his manufacturing of the jars at a glassworks in New Jersey. It is said that he had so little business sense that he lost most of his patent rights to others, who manufactured and then distributed similar jars. The name mason jar became a catchall for all such jars. In dire financial straits, Mason died in 1902 in a New York City house of relief. (p. 162)
