  Disassociated

  i just found out that the elders announced meia's and my disassociation at the service meeting this week.

  they'd called me on monday and told me that they were going to; i fired off an appeal letter the next day, and hadn't heard anything, so i thought they might have postopned the announcement.

  i just found out, however, that the meeting was held on monday this week because the other congregation had the co's visit.

  Dan and Meia:

  I'm closely following you two...I'm going through the incubatory stages of it myself...my roommate knows I have a gf now, but he's encouraging me to do the deed. (little does he know...) I'm also going to register to vote this week. I know all cases are different, but I'm looking out for any hints/support/inspiration/warnings from you two...

  hang in there...I know this is rough, but I'm sure there are some wonderful feelings (dis)associated with it, too!

  Movement to 'Draft" Hillary

  some months ago i heard that hillary will be drafted as president at the democratic convention.

  well, this is no longer a rumor.

  on the hannity & colmes show last night, foxnews, this 'rumor' was confirmed to be true.. the reason for the public silence (not told on the show) but by the rumor mill, is to keep hillary on a low profile, not to create a public stir.

  The war was still unjust...Even though the ends were...If we're cleaning up the world of threatening dictators, let's get North Korea. I'd be behind that war...Their regime makes Hussein's look like small beans. Plus, we KNOW NK has WMDs, and they've threatened us and our allies (Japan, Taiwan) with them.

  to be released all at once in a "big bang" method that will hopefully avoid being driven into the background by a hostile media. Also, is politically more devastating to the Democratic challenger, who will probably get nominated on an anti-war platform.

  I'm sure you're right there...Unleash it all a week before the election...before any questions can be asked about the timing. Karl Rove did the same thing in Texas when The Smirking Chimp was running for Governor. He accused Ann Richards of planting a bug in his office four days before the election. Turns out, the bug didn't even have a battery, and that a Rove aide had visited the same shop where the bug came from two days earlier...

  "Oh, look! WMD's! on Oct. 26th! right under our noses! 'Made in the United...' oops, election's over!"

  Hostile Media my ass! Clear Channel, Fox News, MSGOP...Outside of Dan Rather (30 minutes a night, mostly introducing stories), can you think of ONE liberal that has the unfettered and unchallenged time that Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Scarborough the Lady Killer, Savage, Neil Cavuto, Laura Ingraham have? The media does tilt left on social issues, I'll grant...but If the media were really hostile, they'd crow about Bush's vacations, not giving press conferences, Diebold and his fundraising.

  The GOP had their chance win an election with some real solid leaders: McCain, Dole, Powell...I'd vote for them in a second. Instead, they went with corporophilia (Cheney) and fundamentalist extremism (Ashcroft). They could win again, but they'll likely lose their fourth consecutive popular vote.

  As to the healthcare question, Czar is right...I don't like a Hillary plan, but something has to be done to prevent a possible backlash in November. By staging a progressive government policy in the early 20th century to address the protests of labor and the New Deal in the 30's, we prevented a possible Communist Revolution and established a prosperous tradition of regulated capitalism. time to apply it to medicine.

  Yeru is right about the mass graves...He wasn't in the same league as Pol Pot or Stalin, but he sure was playing the same game.

  His capture is a testament to the U.S. Military and will be better in the long run for the region...But...it doesn't make an unjust war just...Remember, we went to war there because he had WMD...Bush told us this UNDER OATH...

  The only provision I would allow for a death penalty in is Mass Murder...Bin Laden, Tim McVeigh, Ted Bundy, etc...

  I'm still against the war in Iraq, but Saddam should be up for the gallows...

  The Irony...Pattersonites are building the ball fields for little leaguers, who are committing the sin of organized sport.

  desert island discs is a uk radio show which has been running since 1942. the idea was to interview personalities who would become "castaways".

  they would be sent to a desert island with a choice of 10 pieces of music (and the means to play them), 1 piece of literature (excluding the bible or the works of shakespeare) and the choice of taking 1 luxury item.. so let's play!.

  my 10 musical choices:.
