i'm sitting here in awe, just having read that evacuation helicopters are reporting being shot at in louisiana.
shot at.. looters are seeing an opportunity to take goods that will probably be destroyed or paid for by insurance anyway.
it's dirty and nasty and wrong, but i can live with it.

NEW ORLEANS
Fights and fires broke out, rescue helicopters and law enforcement officers were shot at and anger mounted across New Orleans on Thursday, as National Guardsmen poured in to help restore order across this increasingly desperate and lawless city.
i was watching the news coverage of the disaster and seeing how bad it is turning.
i find it so amazing how as human beings, we can become like animals in our nature in seconds.
killing, lotting, stealing and showing no love of neighbor.
Times like this really bring out the best and worst in the human race.
i graduated from high school in 1984!
class of 84 rocked!
1984 graduate.
1983. Heavymetal head.
absalom, a complete asshole, met an untimely death, and even though he caused untold trouble to his father, david still wept bitterly over his son, 'absalom,oh my son absalom!
" that one still gets to me.. and at the end of one of rush's more emotional songs, distant early warning (1984), geddy calls out "absalom!
absalom!
Not sure the scripture, but when it talks about out of all creation that Jesus created it is Man whom he is the most fond.
civil rights no longer exist in southeast la.
the water is rising and they don't know where it's coming from.

My thoughts are with you Bryan.
i think the hardest thing i ever went through was my divorce.
it was something i knew i needed to go through, and get over, but it was the hardest thing of my life.
i wanted the divorce, but it was so very painful.... what's the hardest thing you've ever gone through?

Get Well Soon Loves. I'll be thinking of you. My mother yesterday told the family that they found a mass in her breast. We are all on pins and needles.
some time back i posted a first draft, and then a new draft of a letter to a friend that is still in the borg.

i found the truth is not true, and that the organization is not what it seemed.
Spot on Jeff. Thats very similar to what I am going through with a cousin of mine.
Best Wishes.
i just came from what will probably be the last conversation i'll ever have with my father.
earlier in the day, i'd talked to my mom and she asked what i was up to - translated "what are you doing with yourself since you aren't going to meetings or out in service?
" i told her i'd been discussing the bible with an informal group of people and reading older wts literature.
Ingy,
Sorry to hear of your predicament. Can't you just feel the Chrislike Love?
This is a hard one, but you will get through this and be a better person for it.
Best wishes.
my family spends a lot of time on grooming our lawn, hedges and flowerbeds.
we live near a main street and there is a path beside our house that is often used by dog owners as part of their dog walk.. i don't know how many times i've watched people allow their dogs to urinate on our hedges and defecate on our grass, when the public park is just a few feet away.
they think that poop-n-scooping is the limit of their duty of neighbourliness.. today, i had enough.
I totally with you. In my city theres a code that people are suppose to pick up after their animals but many don't.
