We received a phone call today, regarding our new neighbors (they have lived next door about a month). The man on the phone identified himself from out of state and said he was inquiring about our neighbor (I'll call him John Doe) asking us to return his phone call. My question is...has anyone ever had this happen to them as we have not given out our phone number to the neighbors or anyone else. Anyone have any ideas what this could be about??

I was on MSN, and I read an article that just blew me away. The U.S. Mint might stop making the penny! I, for one, think that's a load of crap. If I'm buying something like a novelty item for 99 cents, and I give the cashier a dollar, how the heck am I supposed to get change if there's no penny? I don't know about you, but I'm not about to pay 4 cents more for something just because these jerks don't feel like making a simple penny! This nation is falling apart!

Thousands of impressionabe children heard Our President utter the S word for that disgusting excretory function. He didn't intend it to be heard by millions, but it was, just like CBS had no intention of exhibiting the disgusting natural human breast of Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl halftime show. Yet it happened, and CBS was fined, because the disgusting natural human breast compromised America's Moral Fibre. And now the President has committed basically the same infraction. Should he be fined for uttering such gross profanity?

The Israelis and most of our media are lying as usual.

But here's the truth people :)

"basically the current stage of what's going on -- there's a lot more -- begins with the Hamas election, back the end of January. Israel and the United States at once announced that they were going to punish the people of Palestine for voting the wrong way in a free election. And the punishment has been severe.

At the same time, it's partly in Gaza, and sort of hidden in a way, but even more extreme in the West Bank, where Olmert announced his annexation program, what’s euphemistically called “convergence” and described here often as a “withdrawal,” but in fact it’s a formalization of the program of annexing the valuable lands, most of the resources, including water, of the West Bank and cantonizing the rest and imprisoning it, since he also announced that Israel would take over the Jordan Valley. Well, that proceeds without extreme violence or nothing much said about it.

Gaza, itself, the latest phase, began on June 24. It was when Israel abducted two Gaza civilians, a doctor and his brother. We don't know their names. You don’t know the names of victims. They were taken to Israel, presumably, and nobody knows their fate. The next day, something happened, which we do know about, a lot. Militants in Gaza, probably Islamic Jihad, abducted an Israeli soldier across the border. That’s Corporal Gilad Shalit. And that's well known; first abduction is not. Then followed the escalation of Israeli attacks on Gaza, which I don’t have to repeat. It’s reported on adequately.

The next stage was Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers, they say on the border. Their official reason for this is that they are aiming for prisoner release. There are a few, nobody knows how many. Officially, there are three Lebanese prisoners in Israel. There's allegedly a couple hundred people missing. Who knows where they are?

But the real reason, I think it's generally agreed by analysts, is that -- I’ll read from the Financial Times, which happens to be right in front of me. “The timing and scale of its attack suggest it was partly intended to reduce the pressure on Palestinians by forcing Israel to fight on two fronts simultaneously.” David Hearst, who knows this area well, describes it, I think this morning, as a display of solidarity with suffering people, the clinching impulse."

When the American people stop their government from sending a total of $90 Billion of their taxes to Israel to support their barbaric acts then the fighting will stop.

And also when the American people stop their governments from vetoing any chance of a peaceful settlement, then maybe there will be an agreement.

If Israel is wrong then why is the following written?:

"Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. "It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. Zechariah 12:2-3
