I was reading about Blackwater USA today, and it scared the hell out of me.

A megarich fundie called Erik Prince has his own army of mercenaries that he sub-contracts to the Bush administration for use both internationally and in the states (the were used after hurricane Katrina and are currently in Iraq).

The benefit for the Bush administration is that these guys aren't bound by the same rules and regulations the military have. ie: They don't have to justify there actions to anyone but their employer.

Aside from the obvious appalling aspects of this, is it a concern that Blackwater could start to develop it's own agenda and take unilateral action without even being contracted to the US government?

Would it be fair to call them a fundamentalist army?

I have been wondering for a while why some countries have the word 'The' before their names. Countries include 'The United Kingdom', 'The United States', 'The Netherlands', 'The Czech Republic' and many more. The majority of countries do not have this 'The' (China, Scotland etc.) I then began to wonder how many countries start with the word 'The', which ones they are and why they do. Hope someone can put me out of my frustration.

A robin has made a lovely nest in the floral wreath that is hanging on my front door. I want to use only the back door or the garage door until she's done with it. My husband on the other hand wants to use the front door as we normally do. He wants the robin the realize that it's not a very good spot.

What would you do?

I am not sure if I am pregnant, and I won't tell him until I am one hundred percent sure, but I'm about 90 percent sure so that's why I"m asking. How do I tell this guy if I am? We dated, everything was awesome, and he dropped me like a bad habit. He said he's ready to settle down, just not with me. And he thinks that I'm a wierdo because I express myself through letters and don't hold any of my feelings back. So basically I am most likely pregnant by a guy who I think would want to be apart of the baby's life and maybe mine but he doesn't answer the phone when I call. We do work in the same store but that is no place to tell someone that you're having their baby!

I should start by saying that I am VERY happily married to the man that I intended to marry from the time we met when I was 14 years old. My husband and I never dated until I was 21, though. Anyway, I dated my share of guys in my teens. There was one guy I went out with for about a month. We had been friends for years before we dated. We never even kissed, because it was weird (it was like dating your brother, ya know?). We split up and decided to remain friends. We stayed friends all the way into college until a time when I desperately needed a friend and he turned his back on me. So we never spoke again. Lately (for the past year or so) I have been having dreams about him. I don't think about him during the day or anything. But these dreams are about us getting together and always lead to us "almost" having sex. And we're always with other people, so...It never happens though. I don't get it. I think nothing about this guy. I'm happily married. Why these dreams??
