Getting rid of Saddam Hussein, to me, is not preferable simply because I don't like him, but because there's a country of downtrodden, oppressed people suffering with his heel on their necks. It isn't a conspiracy, there are many third parties who have verified the kind of crimes the Iraqi regime has inflicted upon its own citizens - many of these groups oppose US action. For crying out loud, where was all of this outrage when we were traipsing through Kosovo?Iraq actually had a thriving, educated populace (comparatively) before Hussein...

i didn't want to share my europe pictures until i was done with all the galleries. however, it's going to take a while. so here's the first four five:Europe - Getting ThereLondon - GeneralLondon - Big BenLondon - British MuseumLondon - The London Eye New!!Channel Tunnel New!!Paris - Arc de Triumph New!!Paris - Notre Dame New!!Paris - Montmarte New!!...

We made it home safely; though I don't recommend flying 12 hours and driving 5 hours as a fun event. I had a great trip and my eyes were opened to many things. There was so much to see and so much to learn. I can honestly say that I learned some things from the cultures of Paris and London. It's nice to get away and get around people that you aren't used to. You'll learn more about yourself and expand your mindset. At the moment, I'm working on getting...

Hallo from Paris!I'm staying in the Marriot on the Champs-Elysses about one block from the Arc de Triumph. Anyways, it's so wonderful over here although it's different from London because the language barrier is so great. Actually, most all service people (waiters, tube personnel, and others) speak English. I've taken over 300 pictures so far, so i'll be coming home with a lot to show. bon'jour...

Hello from London!We just got back to London from Paris... The channel tunnel train is pretty darn quick. It's fun to go through two countries in less than 3 hours. I'd just like to say that everything over here is fine and dandy. I can't tell that life is any different and there hasn't been any backlash against us. I know for a fact that they know we're american because we stick out like a sore thumb. Euro's really do wear darker colors. Anyways, I'm having a great time and...

i'm leaving in a few hours for europe. i'll be back a week from sunday with a million pictures to share. I may try to update from there, but if not, i'll be back....

deliver us from evil? i think not, deliver us from ourselves would be better....

What the Internet Is and How to Stop Mistaking It for Something Else.by Doc Searls and David Weinbergereveryone should read this.. it's a bit nerdy, but it's very interesting....

I just got my IRiver SlimX 350.. It's everything i could ask for and everything that should be there. It's so exciting to find something that actually has gotten better over the years. Sure it looks like a cd-player, but it's so much more and of course it took a non-major brand company to make it.also: i just found a $30 rebate for it... It comes down to like $90 if you buy it at amazon.com and use the rebate!...

I'm sure most everyone goes through the kind of time I feel like I'm in right now. It's that weird funk that you can't seem to get out of. I feel like my life has gone a little stale and I'm looking to get out of the rut I've gotten myself into. Don't get me wrong, everything is good and there aren't any major problems. It's just that feeling that everything is getting old and I need to do some things differently to make my life exciting to me again....

By then it is too late. The people own the Internet now. When there is censorship, the software routes around it. As long as there is a client and a server, they can communicate. No more DMCA takedown notices, no more Carnivore boxes, no more $40/mo., no more ìcapped upstreamî, no more ìrunning servers is not permittedî. The Internet is remade in its original image....
