My LDS friend's Mormon grandfather (in his 90's) tells the story of his father being asked by ignorant people, in all seriousness, if he would take off his hat so they could see his horns. Apparently, back at the turn of the last century, rumour had it that Mormons still wore hats to cover up their horns. My other LDS friend added that she has been in several conversations where people were surprised that she wore makeup and was allowed to dance.... "h-e-l-l-o"

Yes he may have been a kind and compassionate man no one is trying to take that away
The mean-spirited words say otherwise....take the high road folks and let it be.... to do less regarding a human being's passing only demeans your "better selves".

Mr. de Cazenave took part in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, in which more than a million soldiers died
yikes! .....one battle..... kind of puts the 5-year Iraqi War casualties in perspective....

This time period reminds me of the mid-1970's...just when we elected Jimmy Carter...he "sounded" good, but he didn't know what the h*ll he was doing. Lord have mercy on us all.
Ah...no.
Ah...YES.
One... I remember that period all too well... Carter's real legacy is remembered by those who lived here in the States and lived through it. The following cut-and-paste is EXACTLY as I remember it:
"When Carter took office in 1977, he received a moderately growing economy in which inflation was 5.4 percent and interest rates were around 8 percent. When he left office, the Soviets were entrenched in Afghanistan, Iranian students had been holding US State Department personnel and US Marines hostage for 444 days, the American military had been gutted by the administration's post-Vietnam cutbacks, American prestige was in tatters abroad and inflation was in the double digits and interest rates were so high it was impossible for Americans to finance large purchases like homes and cars.Carter's administration is without a doubt the worst in modern American history, yet Carter himself blamed his failures on a "national malaise". This "malaise" kept his Democratic party out of power for 12 years; even today it wrestles to free itself from Carter's legacy."
I do agree with you regarding the oil. The U.S. currently has enough resources to last 200 years IF they would start using shale (convert to oil), but that development doesn't meet with the P.C. "police". We need leadership like that during WWII. Figure out what has to be done, then do it! (alternative resources)

I am having a bad day
by Vivamus init is wearing me down.. my constant companion in life, my skull-breaking- mind-blowing- daily migraines finally got the better off me six months ago.
i broke down, i cried and cried and cried.
not only cuz of the pain, but more for the fact that painkillers were not helping me anymore.

Viv,
so sorry to hear about your 'plight'.... I have an elderly relative who has had weekly migrains for most of her life. it wasn't until she started taking a medical 'cocktail' of several heart medications that the migraines mysteriously vanished.
Here's a website that I think you will find valuable. This particular link will take you to the forum where people with life-long migraines are discussing what works and doesn't for them... http://www.curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=68&p=1
take care...

He decided to let the donkeys choose.
There's the problem to begin with...who's the real ass?
