WAR on TERROR?
I found this story from my feedreader.I wish i could write as good as this,having said that ,this is where i found it http://www.alternet.org/story/36934/
There is no "War on Terror."
There is, however, a "war" on the U.S. Constitution.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, we've learned that we can take a punch and move on. We've faced far worse threats to our national survival -- the Civil War, the War of 1812, World War II, to name a few -- but we never abandoned our Constitution.
Until now.
Terror is an emotion. Emotions are part of human nature and cannot be eradicated. A "War on Terror" is therefore a war on humanity. The Bush administration has exploited the fear and shock of a nation in the wake of a surprising and dramatic act of violence to keep our fear and paranoia at a constant boil. Why?
The evidence suggests the whole point has been to seize power and steal money. We are witnessing a creeping coup in the United States, the overthrow of the idea, promulgated by our founders, and by writers like Tom Paine, that the "Law is King":
The Bush administration has explicitly denied this, claiming unlimited executive power under the president's war powers against civilians and citizens. The president is not your "commander in chief" if you do not serve in the armed forces. On the contrary, he works for you, and he works for your representatives in the Congress.
There is no "War on Terror." There is only a war on the law; a conscious destruction of the U.S. Constitution. This is not the first time right-wing interests have attempted to overthrow the U.S. government. An attempt was thwarted during the FDR administration. Then, as now, America's greatest enemies came from among the ranks of the ruling class.
Bushco has enslaved Americans into a psychological reign of "War on Terror" that amounts to a criminal protection racket. We are told we must be afraid. That is, we are told we must live in terror. This is to protect us from … terror. Then, because we feel terrified, we must give up our freedom -- freedom to write what we believe without fear of reprisal, freedom of due process and habeas corpus protection, freedom from secret intrusion into our private lives by government.
Monday was Memorial Day. On that day we remembered countless patriots who died and fought for those freedoms our president tells us we must abandon … in the name of "freedom."
If there were really a "War on Terror," an emotion, Wes Craven would be hiring a lawyer: He scares people. The "War on Terror" is a sham. You know what changed after Sept. 11th? We, the people of the United States, forgot how strong we are. We gave in to fear, when the only thing we should have feared was fear itself. Osama bin Laden wants you to be afraid. So does George Bush.
I know I'm not alone when I say I'm an American and I'm not afraid. I know I'm going to die. I accept that I'm going to die, no problem. What I do not accept and will not accept is the notion that I must live as a slave to fear for the purposes of craven, cowardly men who, in their time, pissed the bed instead of fighting an actual war, later to become powerful, using that power to line their pockets with my tax dollars. Give me liberty or give me death. Take your "terror" and shove it.
We went after the criminals who attacked us when we invaded Afghanistan, then quickly abandoned any pretense of being concerned with actual terrorists by fighting a ginned-up war of aggression against a tin-pot dictator for whom our chickenshit president and his buddies have always had a hard-on. If the U.S. were serious about thwarting terrorism or about minimizing our exposure to acts of violence designed to make us afraid, we would have rigorous port security and massive international goodwill and cooperation in the lawful identification of anarchic, violent networks. But we don't have that. We have our sons and daughters fighting to maintain bases in the sand near oil fields, sacrificing their lives, bodies and minds for a pack of lies.
Ann Coulter and other right-wing totalitarian cheerleaders like to talk about traitors to America. George Bush and the Republicans have betrayed America, the actual laws of America and the very idea of America. On Memorial Day, as we remember our sons and daughters who have sacrficed their lives in the blistering sands of Iraq, it does their memory due honor to point this out. Noble men and women have fallen; their blood cries out for lawful justice.
In each of our minds lies the beginning of our return to freedom. So please, say it after me: "There is no 'War on Terror.'"
It's high time for America and Americans to remember our strength. We need not be afraid. When we surrender to fear, we lose our country, we lose our faith in each other, we lose our future and we lose our freedom. The best way to honor the sacrfices of our nation's men and women killed in battle is to embrace, once again, that precious liberty.
It's time to be America again.

Dear Technical Support
Dear Technical Support,
18 months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from drinking mates 4.2 which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.
To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications such as BoysNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5 and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. I tried a shareware program - Stripper 2.1 - but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.
Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other, they caused severe damage to my hardware.
I eventually agreed to upgrade to Fiancee 1.0 only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2004.
Shortly after this upgrade however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted.They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them.
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and Email Filter, an can, without warning, launch Turbostomp and Whine. These latter products have no help files, and I have to try and guess what the problem is.
Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly,requiring Shoeshop Broswer for new attachments, and HairStyleExpress which needs to be reinstalled every other week.
Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child, processes which drain my resources. These conflict with some of the new Racing Games I wanted to try out, warning me that they are an illegal operation. Also, when wife 1.0 attached itself to my Audi TT hard drive, it often Crashes.
Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called Mother-In-Law, which can't be switched off or uninstalled.
Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2006, but there could be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2006 it tends to delete all of your money before uninstalling itself.
Any idea's? (author unknown)

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY ?
"Wise men talk because they have something to say;Fools,because they have to say something."
PLATO
"I am a fool,i know not what to say ,TODAY."

Here are some thoughts:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.We have guided missiles and misguided men."

waiting on a friend
my mouth tends to cause misunderstandings..I find the poets can express in a few words,things i can't.
WAITING ON A FRIEND by the Rolling Stones
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

DEMOCRATS PLAN
I am getting a bit tired of the political situation as it is spun on television."cut and run",great sound bite!and then there is :"democrats have no plan"and then the latest trap "the democrats can't seem to capitalize on the republicans' misfortunes(until PROVEN guilty!!!)"these all smell of Karl Rove.
I am just one person,but, thanks to Rosa Parks,i will try to make a difference!These are only the words and opinion of one man,but i intend to send these words to as many people as i can
......................DEMOCRATS PLAN...................
Use the sound bites to your advantage,"The Democrats plan is to CUT________(fill in the blank)(the lies,corruption etc.),and RUN_________ (fill in the blank)(the government better,crooks out of town,etc.)
Make THAT the "DEMOCRATS PLAN".Next time you hear that phrase it will be the "DEMOCRATS PLAN" soundbite.For example: "The Democrats want to just cut and run".The answer can be:"democrats want to CUT corruption and RUN the country better.You only need a couple democrats to get the new "cut and run" soundbite out to the world.....Now the trap, I keep hearing how the democrats are not taking "political advantage"of the republicans'misfortunes.That's a 'no-brainer',their deeds speak for themselves and "taking political advantage"is really only lowering yourself to "dirty politics"......
