I'm the most glass half-full person you will ever meet.

Yes. I don't know as much about WWI, but we not only forced Japanese heritage citizens (and non-) to internment camps, we stripped them of their homes, property and business. I believe that reparations were paid, correct?

Better, thanks. And I agree that I am certainly not the first person to think this. I am just wracking my brain to come up with a time that we ever have assaulted the US constitution the way that we are now. Possibly WWII, when the internment camps were set up to house japanese-americans.

Here's your leader of your guerilla army

I am an American who is hates what America is becoming. And I refuse to "choose my words wisely" as that somehow feels like it connotes that if I don't there is an execution squad ready and waiting for me. (Not that you are, btw.)

I am weak in the knees

Of course -- but sadly you don't "meet" everyone you see. This is where pidgeon-holing comes in, and frankly, my shame. Once people know people, usually there is common ground and understanding. My sister is hosting an exchange student from Lebanon this year. I can't tell you how wonderful it was seeing her and my son who is half-Jewish sitting across from each other at the table and chattering away. They weren't children of advesaries, they were just.... children.

Sadly, we are all lumped together as "Americans", just as we lump people together ("Iraquis", "French" etc).

Interesting interview with Oliver Stone. I agree with basically 100% of what he says. I am contemplating taking a trip to Europe in the spring with my husband and son and for the first time, I will feel ashamed to say we are Americans.

I haven't gotten mine for Witchita yet either, but its just slightly later.....

I wasn't lambasting you. I said that the Clinton blowjob joke is old ("retread bullshit"). Then I went on to say that George needs to get one -- and his wife may not be a willing participant.

Thanks.

As many a bumper sticker has said, Clinton's mistake didn't kill anyone. Plus, if old George would get some good head, maybe he'd loosen up a little. I don't see prissy Laura doin' it, if you know what I mean.

Congratulations! She's gorgeous and lucky!

Baby vibes heading down texas way.....

Not sure what "other activities" you are referring to, but I graduated HS in '78

this coming from the admin of said Wilco site

Not a lot of voting options for women I was a jock in grade and middle school (field hockey, swimming/diving, speedskating etc etc) , then I discovered reefer in high school and it was all over.

Happy Birthday -- and maybe you'll help someone GIVE birth today Now that would make a fab day

This is also excellent news.

This is excellent news.

We will ALWAYS have this.

This thread is dead to me now
