EXCERPT: I am not really hearing about our 3 missing soldiers alot, perhaps as I think we should be hearing about them.  It seems that this should be on every American's mind, perhaps prayers offered (for us beliving peoples) and we should talk about it as well.
I am beginning to wonder if our media is not talking about this more because they know what the logical conversation would lead  I wonder why they use the word "kidnapped" (talking a page from the...

EXCERPT: I have worked in a school district here in the valley for many years.  This is the first year I do not work in a public school.  However, I do remember every Mother's Day, I would tutor my students in the cards, the bookmarks, the tissue paper flowers, and so on that our small children would eagerly make to honour their mothers.  To us, who have had our imaginations tempered by reality, the drawings, the mis-spelled words, the colouring out of lines, looked...

EXCERPT: I noticed that yesterday, it has been reported that 6 (make sure we mention that they are Muslim) men were arrested for plotting to attack Fort Dix.  None of these men were from Afganistan, Iraq Syria, or Iran.  In fact, four of them were Albanian, you know, the ones that were saved from genocide by our military intervention in Kosavo from the Serbs.  One from Turkey (our "secular" friendly), and an American citizen born in Jordan.  None were linked to...

EXCERPT: Perhaps Zanubiyah is the last person to hope for a humane, rational, world community...but today she got another awful thought.  Her utopia is crumbling before her eyes.  She is bloodied and saddened by the revelations, but will soldier on in the new reality she must relegate herself to.
I had great hope when the Democrats took the Senate and the House of Representatives on that glorious day, Novembre 7, 2006.  I thought it wold be the beginning of rational...

EXCERPT: It seems that this forum is becoming more hostile.  We seem now to want to attack certian regular contributors, and it seems that it is becoming more personal.  No longer are we showing tolarance towards differing views.  Are we learning the wrong lessons from the other side?  Do we finally feel our oats (the progressive wave) and yet must turn on each other because one is too liberal, or not liberal enough?  Maybe we seek the same kind of faux power that the...

EXCERPT: Ya know, I just found out that it is actually illegal in some European countries to "deny" the Holocaust.  A person can go to jail, just for saying something like that.  How strange, since the same European countries say that they are a "democracy", and they support free expression.  I wonder if there are any other laws on the books in those DEMOCRATIC countries that will put a person in jail for denying anything else about any other people?
While I...

EXCERPT: You know, there are some really dumb people out there.  Lets look at some of the dumbest war planning I have ever seen. 
There are reports that the US is planning a military strike against Iran.  I see detailed plans written in the media.   Right down to what ship is going to bomb what target, and so forth.  Let me ask a dumb question.  If this were real plans, do you think that somehow if a civilian like me can read this, don't you think that...

EXCERPT: I am truly saddened that Pat Tillman's family can't get any peace, knowing that their son's death was used for political purposes.  That all of the glitz, and glamour that was adorned on him was a recruiting tool in a time that America was sobered to the fact that the righteous cause had been corrupted by the inhumane treatment of those we claim we wanted to liberate.  It is shameful, that once again, a regular man, who had in his heart the intent to do right...

EXCERPT: Today, I got pulled over by the police.  I guess, there was a misunderstanding about my license plate according to the police officer.  My car, a Subaru was reported in a check of my license plate as a Suburban, and of course, he would think, going by his experience with stolen vehicles, someone would change the plates on their car to hide the fact that they are driving a stolen auto.  You can imagine the scene, me being ordered on my knees, hands behind my head, and...

EXCERPT: come on people, lets have a laugh.  Check out the BBC World web page, click on the Middle east section, and go to the story titled "Isreal Recalls Naked Ambassodor".  Just thought you might want a little tickle to break up the harsh grind of changing the world.
How do you post a link in ths format, and I just found out that there is a "spell checker" too.  My (from the article) must have focused my eyes enough to see it for the first time....
