Before leaving office President Obama commuted: (1) The sentence of traitor Bailey Manning. He leaked sensitive national security information putting our troops at risk.  (2) The sentence of Puerto Rican nationalist Oscar Rivera, serving 50 years in prison for plotting to overthrow the U.S. Government, whose group killed 4 Americans in a New York City bombing in1975, and (3) pardoned and commuted the sentences of hundreds of criminal cocaine and heroin dealers. Many were outraged; I voiced mine!

s there such a thing as “absolute”? The dictionary states that “good” and “evil” are “absolutes” when using the word as a noun. Mathematics is absolute because it historically has only offered true answers to correct equations that answer many of society’s and science’s questions. Religion and mythology are not absolutes because it requires faith for their existence. Mythology is aligned to a period of time when humans worshipped Gods of the land, sea and air. The Bible is a mixed book of religion, history and moral teachings but both are associated with the history of the advancement of man.
