conversations.value: Second Glance (film): A young Christian, Daniel (David White) is in public high school.\nHe feels as if his religion is placing too many restrictions on him and he wishes to have some freedom from biblical teachings so that he can be more popular and go out with the girl he likes.\nOne night Daniel wishes that he had "never become a believer," and the next day he has a rude awakening.\nHis room is different, his house is dirty, and an angel meets him and explains to him that the "Heavenly Father" answered his prayer and now his life is as if he never became a Christian.\nHe soon finds out that the two bullies at school are now his best friends and at school he enjoys the fact that the girl he really liked now likes him too.\nBut all is not well.\nHe goes on to learn that his younger sister no longer exists because his parents got divorced years ago in his alternate life.\nHe is also shocked when his mom prances off to go on a date with someone other than his father (who moved to Los Angeles) The angel appears and points out his nice car which Daniel got by betting money on football games last year.\nDaniel says he has never gambled in his life but the angel points out that his life is different now and it is as if he had never been a believer.\nDaniel also thinks the whole thing a big prank and he does not believe the angel at all.\nThat night \'Dan\' goes to a party which, as a Christian, he would not have attended because alcohol was served.\nWhile there, Daniel learns that Scotty Parks, a kid who he had helped convert to Christianity, had committed suicide weeks ago in this alternate reality because Daniel had not been there to talk with him about the Bible.\nDaniel also gets into some girl trouble and is framed by one of the girls which sends \'Bull,\' her boyfriend and a school tough-guy, in pursuit of Daniel.\nDaniel almost gets hit by a car but makes it to a church where he pounds on the doors, but because they are locked, Bull gets him cornered.\nBut, right before \'Danny-Boy\' is pummeled he sees that his shirt has turned back to blue - what it was when he was a Christian, a day before.\nBull holds out his hands caringly toward the cringing Daniel and asks him "What\'s wrong.\n" and said he saw Daniel banging on a church door in the night and stopped to see what was going on.\nDaniel says that he is OK and Bull soon leaves.\nThe angel appears and asks Daniel if he still wished he was a non-believer.\nThey have a conversation and Daniel sees that he really would rather be a Christian and not get into the mess his life became ever again.\nThe next morning he is pleasantly surprised that his sister still lives and his dad is still home.\nHe goes to school and is happy that even though he may not be popular with the \'in crowd,\' he was still making a bigger difference than he thought among his friends and others in school.\nAfter talking to Scotty, Dan turns back toward camera and says excitedly, "Hey Scotty,.\nJesus, man.\n" as the credits roll.

conversations.value: Second Glance
  There is a sharp crack, a muffled click, and then the sound of my father racking up the balls for another game. "The problem with the Sterilization Law is that it doesn't get rid of the degenerates that have already been born," he says. "That's what needs to be addressed next."
  All the blood drains from my head. He does not say this with malice; for his statement to be hateful he would actually have to know some of the people he wants to eliminate. He and Spencer, they are only trying to change the world, to make it a better place for their children.
  I stare at them through the open doorway; it is like seeing a saucer of milk go sour before your eyes. Spencer grins amiably. "Genocide's not legal."

conversations.value: Suddenly Ross came pounding down the stairs, his hair still wet from a shower. "I thought I heard your voice," he said to Eli, as Watson did his best to leap into his arms. "How'd it go with Pike?"
  But Eli was still riveted by the story of the Canadian toddler. "The doctor's from McGill," he said. "That's right over the border in Montreal. The family must be nearby. Shelby, come with me?"
  She did not consider Ethan, or her job, or her brother. She didn't consider the logistics of staying overnight with a man she'd gone out with only once. And she didn't wonder why, spontaneously, Eli seemed as interested in near-death experiences as she was. All Shelby knew was that when you are given the chance to meet a miracle, you do not think twice.
  Burlington, VT — Dr. Thomas Smalley, president of the University of Vermont, announced plans to rename the Beaumont Biology Library and the Pike Museum of Anthropological History. "The University of Vermont wants to make clear that the ideas espoused by these professors during Vermont's eugenics studies were theirs alone, and did not represent the views of the university community as a whole," said Smalley, in a written statement. Potential new names for these buildings are under review by the Alumni Committee.
  When Eli was a boy, he had been certain that state boundaries and the equator were lines drawn on the ground, just like on a map. "The first time my mother took me to Canada, I asked her to pull over so I could see it," he told Shelby.
