I'm going to be pretty busy this week DTOM so I may have to let this one die. You're bent on attacking PNAC, and that's fine (though I think you're wrong in a few ways about that too), but I hadn't provided that page for consideration anyway. It was a Hezbollah history that it did a fine job of presenting that prompted me to use it... so all attacks not related to that are tangential. Anyway, I over-steamed... lil trouble accepting Cav's horribly untimely demise and probably shouldn't have posted at all. I wanted to jump on here and provide you with the North Korea link you asked for, in hopes that everyone and their brother will pay it the heed it deserves. That sonofabitch Kim is the biggest A-hole to walk this planet since Hitler himself (and I don't make Nazi references lightly). Click here for The Doctors Without Borders Story I bust out every couple months in hopes people will wake up to the fact that supposedly peaceful solutions may be the deadliest form of apathy there is. I sure hope you realize that North Koreans can't be blamed for their lack of uprisings. Suicide would be the understatement of the millennia since it wouldn't factor in what they'd watch Kim's goons do to their entire family trees before they went. Sad Anyway, sorry I directed so much of my anti-apathy and anti-anti-Bush rant your way… my aim was a little faulty but at least the bullet sailed straight enough. Do read that link. Good night.

that's cool. we can pick up again later and look at the things we agree on. most likely there's more than a few.

yeah, i am. when unelected, unappointed voices are a driving force behind national policy, it's a problem in my opinion.

but I hadn't provided that page for consideration anyway. ...

don't we all ?? caca pasa, amigo.

thanks. i'll give it a read. i really like the san frontier docs.

ummm... you're much more charitable in your estimation of l'il kim than i am.

Smile That's how representative democracies work... and not all special interest groups are up to no good. :wink: I'll be curious to see your actual reasons are. The PNAC has a broad enough vision that I'm certain you can't disagree with all of it. Be sure and give them equal time with their slanderers, or... well, you know what you'll get is unreliable (at best).

O'Bill, thanks for the links. Sad, sad news indeed. His infrequent posts here in the Politics forum never failed to make me smile, laugh. I know his friends here will miss him mightily.

Cav was one of the most gentle, pleasant, and occasionally insightful members on A2K. I'm going to miss him a lot.

okay. i'll try to do a good job in my explanation, so i'll collect my thoughts before sharing. and yeah, you are right there is more than one side to any story. three sides as i like to say.

Please come and post at the wake, everyone.

Buttercup - Mrs. Cavfancier, and Mezzie (Cav's real-life brother) have been reading along. The support is appreciated.

Please also consider signing the online memorial in the local paper (links at the wake thread) - other family members will be able to access that.

I was at the library yesterday with hours to kill and took advantage to read papers from everywhere. (Btw, not wanting Syria to get the hell out of Lebanon has become a VERY lonely position.)

I thought I had had with the New York Times before. You want to talk about fear mongering and spin (negative)? Rolling Eyes I read of the meetings between Bush and Chirac and Schroeder from a dozen different sources. The NYT told the most discouraging pessimistic tales of that and seemingly every other lead story there was. Do New Yorkers like being depressed or something? They made USA Today look like the American Spectator (think extreme-Fox). It wasn't so much that I disagreed with there take (I usually do), but that they seemingly edit out every inspirational thought, every potential positive in a subliminal kind of way with their choices of words. I imagine it's just reflective of the various writers' mindsets, but when read immediately before or after other paper's reporting of same events the negativity that stands out like a naked person in a crowd. I wonder if the suicide rates in New York are higher than other cities? If you're miserable, and you subscribe to the Times, do yourself a favor and try ANY other reputable source for your news for a week and see if your mood doesn't improve.

LOL

Can't wait for Bill's book reviews and arts critiques. :wink:

Could you get us started with a crossword puzzle so we don't have to wait too long?

I'll ditto what Bill said about the NY Times. Anyone who uses that as their primary source of news would almost have to see the world gone to hell in a hand basket and would have a very skewed view of most situations. (And I enjoy the Thomas Kincaid studio in Old Town but don't own a single Kncaid painting.)

Kinkade appeals some, but I prefer Terry Redlin.

O'Bill....wonder what page the NYT would bury this story on (that's assuming they'd bother to print it at all).

This is totally off the wall and totally unrelated to the last few pages of this thread, but...

Every now and then some sort of a really superior idea just sort of clobbers me over the head. I've figured out how the dems can actually top this latest gigolo/shyster ticket of theirs next time around. What they need is a (Benedict) Arnold/(Judas)Iscariat ticket., and some sort of an Arnold/Iscariat bumper sticker. Maybe something like:

Arnold/Iscariat
The government anybody base enough
to vote democratic deserves
