Diagnosis:

I do not know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere around territory of modern USA South-West approximately on 1375.
Your profession was preacher, publisher, scribbler of ancient inscriptions.

Your brief psychological profile in that past life:
Timid, constrained, quiet person. You had creative talents, waited till that life to be liberated. Sometimes environment considered you strange.

Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:
Your main task -- to make the world more beautiful. Physical and spiritual deserts are just waiting for your touch. Keep smiling!

Now you remember?

I remember it well! Especially this part

"Sometimes environment considered you strange."

But I like this part

." Physical and spiritual deserts are just waiting for your touch. Keep smiling!"

Bush wants to use Mini-Nukes

Trauma_Hound,

I do not mean to say it is ok to release fallout into the world. Sometimes we are faced with a no-win situation, I think this is one of them.

When the terrorists decided the US had gotten so weak under a president who cut our military practically to the bone, and thought they could attack us, yet again, with little or no response, we had to make decisions. I am thankful we had a president who would tell the terrorists "we will find you wherever you hide, and we will come after any country who aids and supports the terrorists" That includes Iraq.

I have been exposed to fallout almost my entire life. I don't recommend it, but, as TR said, I think the propaganda has overstated the danger of fallout.

I think if we had used tactical nukes on the caves of Afghanistan we might have prevented the terrorist attack on the night club in Bali and maybe some terrorist attacks that will almost surely happen in the future.

I mean putting more radioactive material into our atmosphere is just sick and wrong, it affects the entire planet. People this is not a video game!

I think some here may be too young to know of our past use of Nukes.

As I was growing up, the US and the Soviet Union were constantly exploding nuclear bombs, huge ones. The Us, I suspect, is the most heavily nuclear bombed area in the world. I would see newsreels about every week, at theaters, showing the latest nuclear bomb tested in the western US. In some cases, military personel were just a few miles from the bomb tests.

I do not like the idea of war, or the use of nuclear weapons, but, we are faced with an enemy who will use any terrible weapon they can get their hands on, and they do not care who they use them on, in fact, the more innocent their victims, the more effective is their terrorist attack.

The US and the world was exposed to nuclear fallout for many years. We now travel just a few miles from where nuclear bombs were tested on an almost weekly basis. I think the two Jananese cities that were nuclear bombed are still there and inhabited.

I am not downplaying the terribleness of nuclear weapons, but, their use is not something new to the world.

Did this really happen?

i received this in an email.

is it really true?.

can you believe the following from paul harvey?.

I have not had the time to do a lot of research on this but I think to say

the slanderous things about Hillary Clinton and Bill Lan Lee did not

is a little misleading.

The source I have found is, I believe, leftist, and I think, would not necessarily tell "the whole story" However even he, David Emery, says that Hillary was indeed involved.

Examining the evidence objectively, readers may find reason to disagree with Ms. Clinton's college-age politics and even question her judgment in certain matters, but they will find nothing to support the inference that her actions at the time went beyond legal or moral bounds.

Was Hillary Clinton a "defender" of the Black Panther murderers?Not in the sense implied. Remember, these were accused murderers at the time she and other campus activists took up their cause (unless presumption of innocence somehow doesn't apply here). Secondly, there was a widespread suspicion among leftists that the Panther leaders had been framed by police and in any case were unlikely to get a fair trial in New Haven. Lastly, it's evident from the role for which Clinton volunteered during the actual trial that of observer for the American Civil Liberties Union that her interest lay precisely in its fairness and legality.

Did Clinton organize demonstrations that "shut down" Yale University?
She was involved in such demonstrations, but how major a leadership role she played is under dispute. Eyewitness accounts place her at planning meetings but also characterize her as contributing a "moderate voice" to those proceedings. For the record, the demonstrations did not "shut down" the university. Similar protests went on at schools across the country.

Mikkelson's piece was derided on one conservative message board as a "a thinly-veiled whitewash." The angry reader wrote: "The learned liberals with their college libraries and research powers appear to first find an answer they like and then use their intellect and university education to obfuscate the truth that might hurt their views or their hallowed leaders."

I must stop here because of time, but I think it is clear that Hillary was involved.
