Also, at least in some situations,
Because of the scarcity of women on the frontier and the wealth they could bring to a marriage, widows were in demand as brides.

We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
For an average person, it's wishful thinking that the only consideration is what a person looks like...
Right. The wish is for... beauty. It's the ideal.

Unless my Christian teaching of it was unusual the Christian understanding seems to be that she was less lovely.
As far as I can tell, the only place Rachel's beauty is mentioned, or Leah's: "Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older one was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah had weak eyes; Rachel was shapely and beautiful."

I think ita and I are primarily arguing degrees. I'm saying "beauty mattered most". She seems to be saying "but beauty represents other things" and I'm saying "to some degree, but it is largely valued only for its self".

Heh. The only thing that gave me pause was that the links to get around seemed to be in an odd place -- not right at the top or bottom.
Those ladies sure are pretty....

I had to go back and check, too -- it's just in the icon-looking box on the front page.

I DO have ocular flu cancer, however, I think blinking text is never good.
