All the really big stars were out today. President Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. G.W. Bush also showed up. I like to give credit when it's due. Him and Clinton showed up and talked before a crowd of 5000 blacks. They were all there to calibrate the opening of
$100 million "King Memorial" in Washington. The first Memorial dedicated to a black man.
I think it's about time. I agree with Bush's words. "Today we see only these open acres, yet we know when the work is done, the King Memorial will be a fitting tribute, powerful and hopeful and poetic, like the man it honors. As we break ground we remember the obstacles that Dr. King overcame and the courage that transformed American history."
Who writes this stuff. That is very good. Well read also by Bush.
Now I ask you this. Why did it take so long for this man to be honored in Washington?. The people have honored Dr. Kings memory for many, many years now.

I also ask you this. If Dr. King were alive today. What would he say to all Americans about the occupation of Iraq? Would he be silent and not call it what it is a occupation? Would he call it "the war on terror"? I don't think he would. Dr. King had one thing most Americans lack, that one thing is real courage to speak out against what they know deep down inside themselves is wrong in America.
Dr. King was real. He was part of this world not a make believe world of fantasy. Dr. King took up real issues and faced them.

In this past election Democrats all over this great country followed Dr. Kings example. Exit polls indicated that the number one issue for voters was Iraq. Many have said the "majority" of the people in this country think that America is headed in the wrong direction. Democrats took the House and the Senate. Now the question is. Do Democrats have the courage to do what voters put them in office to do.
They must speak out against the occupation of Iraq. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Senator John Murtha, Senator John Kerry, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obamba. Governor Ted Strickland in Ohio and Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Are you up to the task.? Will you follow the example of Dr. King's courage.?

We Democrats now have been called every name in the book. Some Democrats bring fear to the hearts of every Republican. We have earned capital in this election now we should spend it.
Democrats should fire the first shot for change. We give Bush confirmation of Robert Gates as the new Defense Secretary and Bush and Republicans give us a date certain for the end of the occupation of Iraq. Yes, this stand will take courage, Yes, there will be more name calling. Yes, the risk of hurting the 2008 Presidential race is there, all real concerns. The question is. Will we follow the example of Dr. Kings courage? Change will not come if we are not willing to spend the capital we earned.

I know of someone who hasn't paid the gas bill for years! I think the gas co. simply hasn't got them registered. They've been using it endlessly. Can that person sell off and move out without them realsising or are all bills settled beofre completion of a sale of a house? What happens if at a later date after the house is sold the in coming purchaser is sent the bill for all that time s/he didn't even use it?

I was reading a medical journal that said a vegan diet causes muscles to atrophy. It said the lack of complete proteins in a vegan diet causes muscles to waste away. Is this why vegans lack the muscle tone of someone who is eating a well balanced diet?

This is a serious questions because I don’t get it.
I look at it like this. Iraq has been told for years that America was a bad country and Saddam was the man, of course they will look at us as being bad and some will want to kill us, they have been brain washed. It takes time. Its only been three years, so I don’t see the time factor as being a reason
Yes we are losing troops, but isn’t that what happens in war, so I don’t see that being a reason.
Yes I am like anyone else and don’t want to see anyone getting killed, especially American or allied troops, but we lose only three troops a day in a war country. In the USA we lose 43 Americans a day from homicides, so again I am not seeing the connection how we are losing.
We are catching more top ten wanted people in Iraq with a smaller number of troops then we caught top ten wanted in the USA with over a million people looking for them. So I don’t see how we are doing a bad job catching people.

I guess I am at a lose and don’t see how we are losing troops.

Tell me where I am wrong
