Aw Shucks.. I go away for less than 24 hours and things start flying..

For the record: I'm a republican.. I'd rather have the war in the Middle East than on my doorstep.. I think we've kept it over there.. I think there's a MUCH bigger picture than we US Citizens are allowed to be privy to... think China...

I'm sorry that Iraq has a civil war going on and we're in the midst.. I'd love to hear anyone's strategy for pulling out and not having chaos rule and the entire region fall into war...

I just heard the American soldier death toll was 37XX (3700 something) since 2003 - The United States has deaths from driving at about 40,000+ per year... I hate the way the Media is spinning things and telling people what they should be thinking.

Prediction: Democrats (god forbid it be HIllary) win the Presidential race - WAR GOES ON and we don't pull out..

As for Natural disasters - I agree with Chris - Overpopulation is the absolute worst.. and the cause of most of the rest..

Sorry to see you go Barbara...

I've got a great joke that was sent to me today - but I think it would upset all the progressives...
