I know this is a variation on the JFK theme, but I'm interested.

I was feeding my (then) 1 year old son his breakfast and flicking through the channels looking for the Waltons but finding only news. I'll never forget the shock I felt when I realised what it was all about.

Now, that the DNA evidence doesn't match, the case is thrown out, so what's going to happening to this man? Is he going to be set free?!

We lived there when I was young. I am just wondering if the Pine Shack Frosty, and the Lockameda is still around. Actually I wonder if Chester has internet now?

Or can it be both?
For example: do you think the Katrina disaster and the pathetic relief response was something to do with race? or do you think it was a class issue?


thanks:))

Hurricane Ernesto ... Gas lines were 2 hours long in some areas....the sale of flashlights, plywood, gas, water, food went to the extreme for 3 days. The Hurricane never really came...it was a just a strong storm...in the Tampa Bay Area....The weaterman/woman go toooo far in scaring us, so I think!

Boulder, CO DA is being coy by not saying her office has officially ruled out John Ramsey (the father of JonBenet) as a suspect in the murder. Implication being he was involved somehow--perhaps orchestrating it? Is the DA's office doing this because they're desperate after the fiasco with John Mark Karr? Wasn't Ramsey exonerated years ago? What do you think?

On the TV news he said "The place is still a powder keg..." Can't we bring the expression up to date and say "The place is a lump of Semtex waiting for a detonator"?

There are some (and even some in Houston,Texas) that are under the impression that the Katrina evacuees; more specifically, New Orleanians, are just too lazy to pull their own weight. What saith thou?

Israel has used cluster bombs in lebanon. This bomb's use in civilian areas is illegal, but was nevetheless used in Lebanon. The UN is now condeming Israel for having used these weapons in civilian areas. The problem now is that there are hundreds and hundreds of small, unexploded cluster bombs, waiting to explode when kids or civilians who return to their war torn homes get next to it accidentally.
The think that is mostly shocking is that Israel used these bombs at the end of the war, when a peace deal was nearing.
for a proof of my claims, please check the link below, it's from BBC, a good source.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5299938.stm

So what do you think? did Israel did wrong? if you think not, can you tell me why? Can you tell me why you would defend a country that uses weapns like cluseter bombs in civilian areas?
