I read a couple of books over the summer and one of them was Fahrenheit 451. It was really confusing and I didn't understand it well. If you read this book, what was it's message?

I just read on Yahoo that Bonds is sueing Schilling for the comments he made to Costas. Bonds attorney said they have been silent until now to concentrate on the home run record, but now they will be going after those making false statements about Bonds. Thought is was interesting.

Everyone insists I try spanking because I have tried everything else. YES, WITH CONSISTENCY!!! But when I do spank him, he doesn't really care. I don't do it hard, is that why? How hard do you spank? I don't know if I feel comfortable with doing it with all my strength or anything but the ones I do don't seem to phase him, he hits me back much harder! He actually hurts ME.

David S. Broder: Shaking up presidential race
Sacramento Bee, Opinion
David S. Broder
When Fred Thompson makes his long-delayed entrance into the Republican presidential race, he will not tiptoe quietly.
Instead, he will try to shake up the establishment candidates of both parties by depicting a nation in peril from fiscal and security threats -- and prescribing tough cures he says others shrink from offering.
In a two-hour conversation over coffee at a restaurant near his Virginia headquarters, the former senator from Tennessee said that when he joins the battle next month, he "will take some risks that others are not willing to take, in terms of forcing a dialogue on our entitlement situation, our military situation and what it's going to cost" to assure the nation's future.
After spending most of the last few years on TV's "Law and Order," and starting a new family with two children under 4, the 65-year-old lawyer says he finds himself motivated for the first time to seek the White House.
"There's no reason for me to run just to be president," he said.
"I don't desire the emoluments of the office. I don't want to live a lie and clever my way to the nomination or election. But if you can put your ideas out there -- different, more far-reaching ideas -- that is worth doing." Thompson, like many of the others running, has caught a strong whiff of the public disillusionment with both parties in Washington -- and the partisanship that has infected Congress, helping to speed his own departure from the Senate.
But he says he thinks that the public is looking for a different kind of leadership. "I think a president could go to the American people and say, 'Here's what we need to be doing. and I'm willing to go half-way.' Now you have to make them (the opposition) go half-way." The approach Thompson says he's contemplating is one that will step on many sensitive political toes. When he says "we're getting a free ride" fighting a necessary war in Iraq with an undersized military establishment, "wearing out our people and equipment," it sounds like a criticism of the president and the Pentagon.
When he says he would have opposed adding the prescription drug benefit to Medicare, "a $17 trillion add-on to a program that's going bankrupt," he is fighting the bipartisan judgment of the last Congress.
When he says the FBI is perhaps incapable of morphing itself into the smart domestic security agency the country needs, he is attacking another sacred cow.
Thompson repeatedly cites two texts as fueling his concern about the country's future. One is "Government at the Brink," a two-volume report he issued as chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee at the start of the Bush administration in 2001 and handed to the new president's budget director as a checklist of urgent management problems in Washington.
The difficulties outlined in federal procurement, personnel, finances and information technology remain today, Thompson said, and increasingly "threaten national security." His second sourcebook contains the scary reports from Comptroller General David Walker, the head of the Governmental Accountability Office, on the long-term fiscal crisis spawned by the aging of the American population and the runaway costs of health care. Walker labels the current patterns of federal spending "unsustainable," and warns that unless action is taken soon to improve both sides of the government's fiscal ledger -- spending and revenues -- the next generation will suffer.
"Nobody in Congress or on either side in the presidential race wants to deal with it," Thompson said. "So we just rock along and try to maintain the status quo. Republicans say keep the tax cuts; Democrats say keep the entitlements. And we become a less unified country in the process, with a tax code that has become an unholy mess, and all we do is tinker around the edges." Thompson readily concedes that he does not know "where all those chips are going to fall" when he starts challenging members of various interest groups to look beyond their individual agendas and weigh the sacrifices that could assure a better future for their children.
But these issues -- national security and the fiscal crisis of an aging society with runaway heath care costs -- "are worth a portion of a man's life. If I can't get elected talking that way, I probably don't deserve to be elected."
Thompson says "I feel free to do it" his own way, and that freedom may just be enough to shake up the presidential race.

An hour or so ago, someone had asked a few questions about Fred Thompson and I was stunned to read a few responses stating that Fred had announced that he’s not running. I receive mail from “Friends of Fred” on a regular basis and thought I’d share the latest tidbit.

I think he’ll be a strong candidate who will give everyone a run for their money and would welcome your opinions. Do you think that he’ll beat Rudy in the primary and what are his chances for becoming our next President?

See the light
It's really bright
Jesus' light
Through the night
He leads the fight
Against Satan
And masturbation
He gives us salvation
And all the sin
In the world
Come to Jesus
He wants to please us
He doesn't tease us
He really needs us
And we need Him too
Jesus is free of sin
But the rest of us are sinners
So we need Him
To save us
You can't save yourself
And neither can anyone else
Jesus gives you the gift
The free gift of salvation
I am saved
And you can be too
Come to Jesus
Don't be a Jew
The other Gods are false
Don't be fooled by Satan
There is only one true God
And that is the God I worship
Jesus died for our sins
Hate the sin not the sinner
Pray to Jesus before dinner
Jesus is a winner
I am not a beginner
I've been with Jesus all my life
I love Him and He loves me
He loves me and my whole family
Repent of your sins
Turn to Jesus
And stop living in sin
Don't sin again
Jesus loves you
Amen

ok, so I got an Ouija board, but I didnt really think too much of it because, well, come on...it was made by Parker Bros....so, yesterday, a friend & I used it in the park...& the thing actually worked! Now what am I supposed to do? I mean, if I bring it in the house is it going to bring anything in with it? Does what it said mean what HAS to/WILL happen or is it just suggestions? Is it wrong to ask the same question more than once, not because I didnt like the answer but because the answer didnt make any sense? Why on earth would it tell me "Yes No 4" and then "h0y No 4", some word spelled "Bhinniln"(but when I asked about it the thing said no)? Is it ever wrong...or confused maybe? How does a Ouija board work anyway?

So, if you know, let me know please. And please, if youre just going to say something along the lines of "Ouija is just a toy" "those things are a hoax" or "quit messing around with the devil", please...just DONT even bother. Thanks so much.
