Nope, the line item veto has been declared unconstitutional in the United States. In 1996, Congress passed a law legalizing the line-item veto, and it came into effect on January 1, 1997. But in June of 1998, the Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional on the grounds that it violated separation of powers. It would take a constitutional ammendment to legalize the line-item veto.
It's a take off of the Nicene Creed, not the Apostle's Creed. This Creed was written at the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325, in an attempt to settle some theological disputes of early Christianity. It was later revised at the Council of Constantinople in A.D. 381.
Since the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Presbyterian, and most other Protestant churches affirm this creed, its says pretty accurately the basic stuff that most Christians believe in. And speaking of most Christians, the use of the word catholic in the Creed means "universal," not "run from Rome by a frail man wearing a silly hat."
In the future, when you feel the need to assert that something is true "by definition," could you please at least look up the definition? Just this one time, I did it for you, to save you the effort, but next time you're on your own.
Belief in something sacred (for example, gods or other supernatural beings).
A distinction between sacred and profane objects.
Ritual acts focused on sacred objects.
A moral code believed to have a sacred or supernatural basis.
Characteristically religious feelings (awe, sense of mystery, sense of guilt, adoration), which tend to be aroused in the presence of sacred objects and during the practice of ritual.
Prayer and other forms of communication with the supernatural.
A world view, or a general picture of the world as a whole and the place of the individual therein. This picture contains some specification of an over-all purpose or point of the world and an indication of how the individual fits into it.
A more or less total organization of one's life based on the world view.
Two weeks ago, the Economist published a survey on outsourcing. Their "surveys" are extensive reports, consisting of about 14-16 printed pages, and 10-12 separate articles. It covers the topic from several different angles, and its helpful to see outsourcing in all its complexity, rather than the "Indians took my job, outsourcing is evil," perspective that dominates here.
