  Am I a hijacker?

  Ssshhhh! Hijacking is fine until you are called on it. It's one of those unwritten DB rules.

  I hate that this monitor sometimes keeps me from doing things like hugging you.

  Isn't that the truth.

  I too, like the others here, am thinking of you. Losing a parent is one of harder things in life to endure.

  What's sad Six, as you well know, is that most Americans are just taught snippets of history. Just as the WTBTS dances around Bible verses.

  The demonstrations of the 60's took the power brokers by surprise. They have been working hard ever since to see that they don't get surprised again. The result is a huge shift to the right by Americans. Did Bush and Bid Ladin conspire? We'll never know. Have both their agenda's benefited from the relationship? Definately.

  No, but I can see how you make the connection.

  Nice link though, Sara is a Goddess. I'll listen to her anytime, anywhere.

  I almost spewed beer all over my monitor when I got to this.

  But most scary was all the talks about the torture I would undergo to test my faith

  How about the line used during the early 70's to discourage the "faithful" from dating worldly people, "Just remember everytime you see a worldly woman you are attracted to, replace her face with a skull, because soon that's all she'll be".

  Sicko's. It took years to clear that crap from my head.

  In fact, the chute where we did the intense rapid was dug out and dynamited by those miners from The Gold Rush.

  That chute is too awesome for words, while not a "true rapid" per se, it's easily as fun as any rapid on the north or middle fork of the American.

  I spent the night freezing to death in June.

  Ugh, trying to sleep while shivering is about as bad as it gets.

  Where you put in, or take out (depending if you did the upper or lower middle fork run) is the area where gold was discovered in CA. There's a nice little old bar there too where you can suck down a few cold ones and get a bite to eat after a hard day on the river. ;-)
