Bin Laden manhunt still drawing a blank
AP - Sat Sep 2, 12:10 AM ET

AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN BORDER - The al-Qaida terror camps are gone from Afghanistan, but the enigma of Osama bin Laden still hangs over these lawless borderlands where tens of thousands of U.S. and Pakistani troops have spent nearly five years searching for him.

"BOSTON (Reuters) - Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a 2008 Republican presidential hopeful, said on Thursday his administration's new restrictions on stem cell research are aimed at heading off an "Orwellian" future."
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=healthNews&storyID=2006-09-01T161039Z_01_KNE158193_RTRUKOC_0_US-STEMCELL-RESEARCH.xml&archived=False

Orwell's _1984_ is about the government controlling the people by controlling and manipulating information, so "Orwellian" would be apt for the current U.S. regime, not stem cell research.

I'm guessing that Romney meant to refer to a future akin to Huxley's _Brave New World_, not _1984_. I don't see that as being accurate either, just less completely off-base. Any comments? Do you agree or disagree and why, please.

The second part of my question is about the use of language -- Romney uses this dark word "Orwellian" to paint SCR with fear and mystery. How do you see that?

I was 17 yrs. old and was just waking up when the alarm sounded, i had it set on the radio. As i was laying in bed i heard something about the "Towers". I jumped out of bed and ran into my mom's room to see the t.v. she was still asleep i woke her up and shouted to her, "look". I was so overwhelmed with emotions. I was 5 months pregnant and was glad that for that moment i could protect my child as i thought of all the parents who couldn't protect their children from this deeply dark day in American History...Even though i live in Southern California i felt as though my heart was in NYC...

As the 5yr. anniversary comes up i was wondering where you were and what were you doing when you learned that America would never be the same?????

Is it really a felony to go dumpster diving? They were arrested in Colorado. Honestly, sometimes I see something in local dumpsters and walk right up and take it. I don't make it a habit but if I happen to see it I figure 'hey, it's going to the dump, therefor it's up for grabs'.
I live in Massachusetts and I don't know the laws that govern dumpsters. I do know this, our land fill allows 'picking' in various areas. i.e.: computers, metal, magazines, wood, newspaper...
I use to work for the Troy Build company and I was the forklift driver who took trash and dumped it into the dumpster. I coult take all kinds of parts and motors. Anyway, I'm not worried just curious.

Thanx a bunch!
