  My 19 year old son said it best....blasphemy!

  If you haven't seen the movie....read no further.

  We came out of the movie theater shaking our heads in disbelief. The first half was excellent. The beginning chase scene...very well done. The new Bond two big thumbs up....then the movie morphed into the decline of Western Civilization. There were a few things with Bond that we could always count on. First and foremost, the women, the audience, the director always understood that the job as a spy came before everyone and everything.....after all its JAMES BOND.....not Dr. Phil ...Jesus, Mary and Joseph what is the world coming to? First he tells her he loves her, then he tells her he's going to give up being a spy for her? Then he does it.

  WTF....I understand the women liking it, but as a guy who has seen every Bond film twice....blasphemy!

  Bush's war on terrorism a failure?

  i think bush's method of fighting terrorism only creates more terrorism.

  the us government has acted like a terrorist to the people in iraq, such actions canonly lead to more justification in the minds of would be terrorist.

  Because the coast guard is considered part of the military, and preforms some benificial services, hardly recomends those joining the US military as following some higher call, to me it is just propaganda designed to encourage support for the US war machine just like the slogans to serve God and Country, or the often repeated propaganda found in song "God Bless America Land of the Free". It is all bull shit.

  I'm not suggesting that you refer to it as a higher calling and I'm not suggesting that every person that puts on a uniform does it because of a higher calling. There are those that do it as part of their family tradition.There are those who join as a practical means to get their education paid for. There are those who do it because it provides a good alternative to living in poverty. In my experience, there are a great many that do it because of a sense of duty, or higher calling. We do not have a draft. It is a volunteer force. Everyone who joined had a choice.

  I mentioned the coast guard because I thought that it was heroic that they saved a few thousand Americans. I had a friend who was embedded with them during their rescues. She marvelled at how dedicated and professional they were and how they would go nearly round the clock until the mission was completed.

  Have you ever heard "God Bless America" sung acapella by a really good vocalist? Brings tears to your eyes and puts a lump in your throat.

  Should Bush and Cheney be Impeached?

  should they be impeached for the iraq war?

  if you google the words impeach, bush, and cheney, you will get about 1,600,000 hits.

  even on the radio there is talk about the need to start the impeachment process.

  Seriously, most people, lost faith in the President and the Congress, and voted Democrat, not because they had a message, but because a change was needed. They do not want this country taken back down the impeachment road. The easiest way for the Dems to lose the majority is to impeach the President. This could be especially true if the Republicans run a strong Presidential candidate that can galvanize the middle against the Dems.

  Maybe you should have followed WTS protocol and added the word "indisputable" to the phraseology.

  they have ruined lives, destroyed people ..... mentally and/or emotinally...... why?

  I say lets move and don't tell them. They're shunning you anyway, they'll never know the difference. When's the annual census, I mean memorial? Hell, for that matter we could just move to the other end of town. They'd never know. Lets start planning.

  It might make you feel better, it might not, but many families are disfunctional and it has nothing to do with WTS. Point- many families can't get together and get along and enjoy Christmas together- even if they all celebrate.

  I don't know why this made me laugh....we move down to Florida to get away from all the family drama, then they all insist on moving down here, then fast forward a few years and nobody speaks to each other. I know its not funny, but in a way its pretty funny. It's been a never ending soap opera. What is apparent to OTWO, and that you forget, is that the couple of times a year that we do get them all together, after the last one finally leaves at 3:00 in the morning after the booze finally runs out, you swear you will never do that again. Restrangled, you got along best with your family when they lived 1200 miles away. Maybe its time to move again.

  january 15th watchtower 2007 'remaining steadfast when a child rebels'.

  'when discipline is severe'.

  'if your child is unrepentant and is a baptized christian, he may receive the strongest form of discipline - being disfellowhipped from the congregation.

  We must never waste the time we have with our loved ones, and the occassions to do something more for them or something special are to be prized.

  Amen Gill. I could survive on that principle alone for the rest of my life and live a rich, rewarding life. Amen!

  As you know, spending one day or weekend with someone more experienced, can really help. I think that there are a whole lot of ways to network with other nature photographers and Canon enthusiasts. I have friends in the field that are more into fashion and wedding photography, who also speak at trade shows and conventions and hold one day courses at their studios. I think the principle applies the same. There are probably some lifelong nature photographers who offer one and two day courses as well. Who knows, if you get good enough, then eventually you could do the same.

  There are probably a lot of Canon forums as well as nature photography forums on the web that would prove useful as well. Even if they are dedicated to other models like the 20D or 30D, they can help.

  There are probably local user groups as well that meet once a month and share ideas and experiences. This is the case here in Central Florida because of the large tourist/wedding market.

  Was this really a smart choice of words?

  i was watching pres bush in a speech telling the world that he is 'compelled' and 'driven by a higher power'.

  that god wants him to give people around the world freedom.

  that 'this crusade', the usa is on.............well...that was part of it and i sat there thinking.

  Did he happen to mention if his higher power was named Donald Rumsfeld?
