That hope alone explains the Book, giving meaning and consistency to its story. Was it a chimera, an hallucination? According to the prophecy of Micah, the messianic Shepherd of Israel had to be born in Bethlehem. It is unthinkable that an heir to the throne of David could be born in Bethlehem now, and be also able to prove his legitimacy by documentary evidence. The event must clearly have taken place already, or Micah is a false prophet, a raiser of false hopes, along with the other writers in the Old Testament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism is in conflict with human nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Communism is in conflict with human nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20886]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How a farmer controls corn rootworm in Indiana really depends on what sort of pest pressure they face.

In southern Indiana, most farmers wouldn't treat for it at all because there are very few corn rootworm larvae in that part of the state. In the moderate region in northeast and central Indiana, farmers may use soil insecticides or seed treatments for control.
