So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?
by Simon init seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

Glenster - just signed in to say 'goodbye' to a legend.
As a young child, I remember her saying "Oh, Dick!". As a 20-something, I remember her throwing her hat in the air, and her wonderful friend, Phyllis.
An icon, for sure. RIP beautiful lady, who championed her cause (alcoholism), was an amazing comedienne, and the best since Lucy.
The best of the MTM show would be, for many fans, the "Chuckles the Clown" episode. I leave you with this. x

WoMD ... so where are they?
by Simon innow, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

David Kay: WMDs That Never Were, A War That Ever Was
In 2004, almost a year after the start of the Iraq War, David Kay resigned his post as the United States' chief weapons inspector in Iraq. Kay said his group had found no evidence that Iraq had stockpiled chemical and biological weapons before the U.S.-led invasion. His findings were at odds with assertions from the Bush administration at the time. Host Liane Hansen talks with Kay about the conflict in Iraq since then.

just fine
There are times I get that tear in my eye, too. I feel eternally grateful to be born Canadian - hey, I did nothing to earn it, no pride here - just gratitude. I love my 'Muricans, too.
You're so right .. we are lucky, and I happily kiss the ground and hug the trees of My Canada. ! xx

BOC, Happy Fourth!
We celebrated Canada Day last week, and though I'm almost a 'senior', the fireworks still thrill me. I'm spellbound by them, like a little kid. : )
For Americans, I understand it is a *big deal*, and I don't mean that sarcastically. National pride is not that important to people from many other cultures - we just . don't . get it. That being said ...
Have a great Independence Day - I'm sure it has symbolic undertones of your freedom from the Cult, and your right as an American, to be proud of your heritage.
(my emoticons aren't working, but picture the party one! haha... : )

Zeb, you're welcome. I took that pic and thought you might like it. Since I was a kid, my dream was to go to Australia. My PM function doesn't work, so I could not reply to your message. Take care, my friend, I will always treasure the support you have given me and many others. Always in my heart, my friend, Zeb. xx

Waking up a loved one....why it can be so difficult.
by Giordano ini recently watched season one of the path........ a dramatic t.v.
show that explores a cult that seems to me to be closer to scientology then the jw construct.. however........ i was struck by actress michelle monaghan's interview about the motivation of the person she portrays.
i think she really gets to the issues we have all faced trying to convince a loved one about our doubts.. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/path-finale-michelle-monaghan-interview-896010.

I've been watching this show, and particularly relating to the son, Hawk, and his struggles with embracing what we knew as 'baptism'. I didn't have a high school love interest, but I was increasingly aware that the 'world' was normal, and the JWS was not. This show really gets to the heart of the matter.
The mother is a complex character - torn between her love of her beautiful and truly loving husband, Eddie, and her "born-in" indoctrination into the Path. She seems to have a keen mind, yet clouded by the cult .. it's a brilliant series, and I look forward to future episodes (very cathartic).
Gio, loved that song! My PM function is not working ATM, and I can't reply, but wanted to let you know... her voice reminds me of Loreena McKinnitt (amazing) ... beautiful, haunting, and thank you so much for sending me the link. xx : )
