Bingo! we have a winner.

Yup, we may seldom agree but its a way of letting off some steam. And maybe drop an f bomb when needed And the people here who always join the debates may disagree on almost everything but we have one thing in common.....We care about the issues. Unlike most of the country who i really dont think knows whats going on While i disagree with Spence and Nebe on almost everything at least they have opinions, unlike so many who have no clue about anything.

I'll buy that. Most of this country is vapor-locked.

I`m Thankful

For being able to go to the post office, supermarket, work, Scusset Beach, Plugathon,etc. etc. ....pretty much everywhere...without fear of being blown up. Though I do wonder.
I`m very thankful for these aspects of my life which nowadays I do not take for granted.... I think about it all the time.

Who can say the same?

Its a very tough world out there... here.... always has been.

I`m Thankful,
SkitterPop

Good health and family

Two weeks ago some of you guys were speculating that it looked like we were heading for a religous war between Christians and Muslims.

That would have meant that sunnis and shiites across the Arab World would have to form an alliance to defeat the Christian nations of the world and Israel. Hindsight has proven that analysis a tad off the mark.

We gave them a chance at self determination and they have chosen sectarian civil war. Recent history has shown that third world civil wars run about 10 years - that's 10 more years.

I don't think we will leave Iraq until after Bush is done with his second term. But the next President, irrespective of party, will not get elected unless he or she runs on a platform that details a relatively quick exit strategy from Iraq.
