This is a call for an immediate end to the violence and destruction, in defiance of war, and in search for solidarity.

The problem with the body in my back (see previous post) yard will not go away. I decided the best sollution was to remove it. I delegated Anthony to take care of it. He delegated Jesus (new gardener) to take care of it. Jesus, it would appear is a rather lazy fellow, took it upon himself to simply heave it over the wisteria hedge into the neighbors yard. Unfortunatly it landed atop his prize rhododenrons. I dispatched Anthony to reason with the neighbor. After being beaten soundly about the head and shoulders by a 9 iron (could have been a 6 but Anthony was a bit addled) Anthony returned to inform me that the neighbor was going to be coming over to exact his revenge upon me. I had Jesus bring the body back but the rhododendrons seem to be the issue. I offered to have Jesus replant them to no avail. Alerting the authorities is obviously not an option. I suppose I could act proactively, but then I would have another disposal problem. What to do? What to do?

I say the following rules should be put in place:

1. Only the following things can be carried onto plane:
a. Laptop (no power cord as that can be used as weapon).
b. Paper Work/Books (No pens/pencils)
c. Purse with ONLY ID/Credit Cards and Money
d. Wallet with ONNLY ID/Credit Cards and Money
e. Only absolutely necessary medication with a doctors note and it must be handed over to the stewardes and can only be given by them as directed on the bottle.
f. Baby Diapers (No wipes as they contain liquid), can use soft tissue.
g. Baby Formula, only enough for the length of the flight and must be in a sealed from the manufacturer container.

No exceptions to these rules. Everything else must be checked.

All of the food and beverage brought on board by the airlines must go through stringent testing and the cargo as well as checked bags.

Thoughts?

There is no reason you need anything else while on the plane.

My sister and friend got into a car accident today, they were hit by two illegal aliens in their construction truck, the guys were driving drunk and tried to take off afterward but luckily a cop was following them and got them. Even the cop told my sis, there is little chance of ever getting money but their car is totalled. Any legal advice? She doesn't have a lot of money for repairs.

Outside of Farenheit 9/11? Because he has done a bunch of movies, a TV show and written books. I personally think he has the balls many people don't have. Keep in mind, I never saw Farenheit, but I saw Bowling for Columbine, Roger and Me, saw a couple of his HBO shows, and read one of his books. I also live in automation alley, and remember how he stuck up for the working class when the big 3 shafted them...

I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Antichrist Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.
What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's sake? The majority of the American people (85 percent) think the war in Iraq is not a mistake and that we should not get out. The majority (95 percent) of the American people do not want single-payer health care and are not willing to pay more taxes to get it. The majority (86 percent) of the American people do not favor raising the minimum wage. The majority of the American people (90 percent) do not favor repealing Bush's tax cuts, The majority (96 percent) wants to reduce the deficit by cutting domestic spending, but not by reducing Pentagon spending

It's not the U.S. taxpayers fault that Mexico is rife with corruption and that their government can't seem to get its act together. People from all over the world "just want a better life and to feed their children" but the flood of mexicans is just ridiculous. Mexicans are like lemings -- someone tells them to protest on May 1 and almost a million do so. Then, candidate Obrador tells them to protest the election and millions do it. Why don't they get themselves organized and protest against their government in general? Imagine the impact of "A Week Without a Mexican" if they were to do it in Mexico. They obviously have the numbers and don't mind protesting, so why don't they protest en masse for a better economy and job opportunities. Mexico has a wealth of oil, steel and farming resources and there's really no reason for them to be a Third World country at all.

My brother's ex-wife gave birth to their son eight months ago. In that time she has only allowed him to see his son once. He has always provided child support but she has still denied him access out of spite.
Yesterday he had a court hearing and the judge decided that my brother should be allowed to see his son at a contact centre for one hour every two weeks with his ex-wife present.
Is this a fair judgement?
I now fully understand why 'Fathers 4 Justice' do what they do because at present they are severely let down by the justice system.

A little joke to take our minds off of politics for a while. Have a great weekend.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

Rather than penalize everyone honest who needs to use air transportation for business and travel and may need to work on their laptops while en route would not just added vigilance have worked?

Why must we allow those neo-cons currently in power to for their own political gain continue to manufacture and reinforce projected public fears of a possible terrorist attack? Robbing honest citizens of free access to electronics like cell phones, lap tops, Ipods or healthy liquids like water, eye drops, baby oil or other health care products for political gains

Would not simple restriction like not allowing people to carry bags of stuff to the restrooms or maybe having all carry ons be stored in the overhead. Passengers needing something would ask a stewardess or steward to get it for them.

I do not believe Americans would allow another 9/11 to happen .... the general public will never again allow itself to be used as a weapon as we are way more aware of the actions of others now.

have you ever heard the term history will repeat itself well i believe its happening now. More people are falling for the cause to appease the terrorists. You do know of course that this has happened before... A long time ago there was a mean man named hitler and he demanded that france and britain give him land, Both france and britain knew he would start a war so they appeased him and can you guess what happened next?

He attacked.

I've said it time and again you can't reason with people who wan't to kill you.
