You dont have to read this, but if you do, then answer this.
Isn't this the sincerest form of sorrow a parent can show at the lost of a child. ?

Now God wanted a football match
And to play it up in heaven
But first he needed players
And select his first eleven.


Georgie Best, big Brian Labone
The legend Dixie Dean
Alan Ball and Bobby Moore
All made it in the team.


He needed one more player
Someone who would be quick
From up above he looked down
And saw Rhys there in his kit.


So Rhys was taken up above
God took him by the hand
To play the game he loved so much
Where sponsorship is banned.


There is no cheating either as
God is the referee
There are no mega wages
And the transfers they are free.


The games are live on telly
You don't have to subscribe
The players all stay on their feet
Cos no one takes a dive.


So Rhys plays now so happily
To the angels in the crowd
And every time he hits the net
They roar his name so loud.


Have fun my little blue boy
You're safe and in God's care
Till it's time for me to get my boots
And join with you up there.

Has there ever been any mention of what is happening with the interest it gets and who that goes to?

I doubt the amount that has been earned in interest has been added to the current figure on the website and I would almost imagine it is going into a seperate account as technically it hasn't been donated and hence doesn't necessarily need to go to the fund, or for that matter, be accounted for

We, like everyone else, await the results of the forensics from the recent searches. We do not know who has taken Madeleine or why. Sometimes people do things for reasons that even they cannot understand. An act of madness, an accident or sudden impulse can lead to consequences that people may never have imagined or intended. Faced with such a situation we believe any human soul will ultimately suffer torment and feelings of guilt and fear.

If you have done something you regret, if you find yourself in a situation you never intended, it is not too late to do the right thing. Please come forward, return Madeleine, leave her in a place of safety. At the very least, help us by letting us know what has happened to our beautiful little girl.

I believe princess Diana was murdered possibly by the royal family due to several reasons:
-The CCTV cameras in the tunnel she died in "happened" not to be functioning properly at the time and didn't capture the car accident
-the lights in the tunnel during the period of the car crash were turned off
- Dodi her fiance/ lover was a muslim and princess Diana was pregnant with his baby (Royal family are Christian this would be an outrage to them)

There are many more factors contributing to the idea she was murdered. Such as why couldn't he body guard who survived be interviewed? Why did Diana and Dodi die even though the bodyguard was in the back seat with them?

Isn't it odd that "celebrity depression" seems to be the cultural fixation right now, when there seems to be instability/corruption in the highest levels of our government?

Why does whaling still exsist when it should've stoped a century ago? I know that the Japanese whalers do it in the name of so called "research", as well as Iceland & Gortons fishing co. But this barbaric act is so prehistoric. I heard that the fools who do whaling says they "have trouble selling the meat". If they have trouble selling it, why bother killing whales & dolphins? It just doesn't make sence!? :(

what is the difference in using the n-word and the r-word? are you certain all rednecks are racists? are you sure some blacks are not racists? have you ever thought about the facts of this matter? what do you call the elderly, the handicapped or people who cross the mexican border illegally. got any pet names for them? do you think white people who sharecrop, have little to no education and born in utter poverty and drugs run rampant just like the black ghettos of the usa have chosen to be part of what they once call the peasants and the trash? think that is what those little "redneck" babies and adolecents were meant to be. you think it is genetic like they once insisted was the black man's problem? well, god bless you.

Bonus question: If these media celebrity types had done true reporting from the beginning - instead of either tacitly approving this war built on lies, or cheerleading from the sidelines, how many soldiers and innocent Iraqis' lives would have been spared?

In other words, had they *properly* given equal weight to covering the stories they gave LIP SERVICE to pre-war, (which have subsequently proven to be accurate) wouldn't the resultant outrage from Americans prevented or stopped this fake war?

Second bonus question: Why did MAINSTREAM (corporate media) help the Bush administration lie about the war?

Third bonus question: Why did the DEMOCRATS in Congress help the Bush administration prosecute this "war"?

How did we come to believe the worst about everything; Our Country, Government, Police, Health System, Prisons, Immigration, the Justice System, and about People etc?

Where does all this cynicism come from?

Prayers, protests and a lingering disgust with the government's response to Hurricane Katrina marked the disaster's second anniversary Wednesday, with a Presidential visit doing little to mollify those still displaced by the storm.

Clarence Russ, 64, took a dim view of politicians' promises as he tried to put the finishing touches on his repaired home in the city's devastated Lower 9th Ward.

"There was supposed to be all this money, but where'd it go? None of us got any," said Russ, whose house was the only restored home on an otherwise desolate block.

▼▼ Didn't the government send millions of dollars? Or am I wrong on this, what did they do with this money? So am I mistaken, if a fire, or flood damages my home, I can call the President and he will rebuild it for free? What about us Californians who live with earthquakes, will the government rebuild our homes and businesses for free also? Why isn't the City responsible for helping their own? I am sorry, I don't get it.

Instead of blaming the government, why don't you get angry with all of the politicians that throw millions of dollars out the window while campaigning? Why don't you get angry with a moron like Michael Vick who bankrolled illegal dogfighting? Why don't you get angry with actors & actresses that do stupid stuff, then waste their money with fines, legal fees and court costs? There are so many wealthy people out there just throwing their money out the window...and you're angry with the government??? They cannot control the weather. Yes, there were other measures that should have been taken and could have been taken, but weren't. Instead of wasting your time blaming the government, why don't you start getting angry with all of the wasteful wealthy people in this country??
