Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion. But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened . Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions. Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE? Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace? WHY?? There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance: The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

How to Grow Ginger

1. Get a fresh ginger root from the produce market. Try to pick the best ginger rhizome with a few knobs in it. The shoots will sprout from those knobs.
2. Usually the ginger root that you purchased from the market is dehydrated, so it is best that you soak the ginger in water overnight.
3. If you are in a tropical area you can plant the ginger root straight to the ground about an inch deep. Ginger will not survive below 40*F, so if you live in that kind of temperate zone start your ginger indoors in a pot. Do not over water. Just keep the soil moist.
4. It takes about a month for the ginger root to form a sprout and sometimes 45 to 60 days before you can actually see the green shoot.
5. It takes anywhere from 8 months to a year before you can actually harvest the ginger roots. But in the meantime enjoy looking at the beautiful leaves.
