that was a great show!!! what a venue for Ratdog!

the point of the matter is if you asked me;

"do you want to be on our mailing list?" I would probably say yes.

That is all.

Good luck in the music business, i wish you all the best, but please don't send me emails, I get enough spam as it is. If I want to be on your mailing list; I'll ask.

thanks.

Rush Limbaugh is just looking for attention--controversy equals audience. Quite the insensitive ass.

Stem Cell Research

Yes or No?

Do the immediate benefits out-weigh the potential for human cloning? Tough call. At this point I would not be in support of Stem Cell Research.

thanks Miss P and Schwa--but, I have bad news... Doesn't look like I can make it... We have a b-ball practice tomorrow. Anz is about to have a baby boy, so he won't be making the trip either. Mike is up north. St.Catharines crew sucks!

congratulations

well, once again, I don't disagree with you. And no, I don't have any idea of what it would be like to live in South Korea. However, I do have a fear of terrorism, and to be honest, if I didn't live next door to the United States, I would probably feel a bit safer.

I don't think the United States are the "bad guys". However, I would suggest that they have earned much of the criticism they face today. Unfortunately, their foreign policies of the past have resulted in cynicism in many, and hatred in fanatics.

Just for the record, I am not a fanatic.

It was a reference to the United States and dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Just a side-note: (possible inspiration for my pacifist comments here?) I am watching a great documentary on the Summer of 1964 in Mississippi. Amazing. Anyhow, I want to share a quote with y'all... I forget the first name, but the last name is Forman. (No, not George)

"If we don't have a seat at the table then lets knock the fucking legs off!!!--excuse me."

I like that.

There is a huge difference between a country like the USA having nukes and countries like North Korea and someday soon Iran and then who knows where-Libya, Syria etc etc......those are the kind of countries that will actually USE them or let them fall into the hands of organizations that will use them.

The United States have already used them.

Don't get me wrong, I love the United States, I am a big supporter of democracy, because it does define equality---one person-one vote.

Funny, I am just about to teach Heart of Darkness to my grade 12s, and we will be looking at the darkside of human condition.

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer for this debate; except for the fact that war sucks. I think we would all agree on that.

Did I miss the part where North Korea became part of the U.S.?

I don't understand what connection you're trying to create between what the American Constitution has to say regarding what private American citizens can do in America, and what the a completely different country should be able to do regarding the creation of weapons of mass destruction.

Is it not based on a philosophy of freedom of choice? Do they not preach the morals of democracy which is based on equality? So tell me why is it that North Korea should not have the right to bare the same arms as their former foes. The same I might remind you (that did not test missles by shooting them over Japan).

I am not pleased that North Korea has weapons of mass destruction. I don't blame the United States for this situation. The question I am raising is the same I tried to make a while ago. Why is it that we choose to arm ourselves? Why do leaders of rogue nations, leaders of the Western World, terrorist organizations, and everyday people choose to protect themselves via the barrel of a gun? That is, in my opinion, the fundamental problem here.

Yes, I agree that monies in North Korea should be spent on humanitarian needs. However, sanctions do compound the issue. Maybe ostersizing North Korea creates tension??

But, what the fuck do I know? (Outside of the fact that I like a good debate)

In other words, I don't disagree with what y'all are saying.

under the U.S. Constitution which derives from their D.of I., you have the right to bear arms! So, what's the problem?

I don't blame North Korea for starting a Nuclear program.

I lay the blame on the fact that they feel it is necessary to do so.

Maybe North Korea would find it easier to feed their people if they weren't crippled by sanctions.

Just playing devil's advocate

Sonic Youth---walk the plank

happy b-day J.

good luck!

Cory Lidle was a starter, not a reliever.

well, I stand corrected. I agree with your response. However, I still ask the question, who should be held accountable for the fact that 60 million Americans own a weapon? The culture of fear? Hmmmmmm, well, I guess what I don't get is how does a gun stop a bullet?

May I present another unrelated (?) idea. In one of my classes, the students are writing a persuasive/argumentative essay on a variety of topics. One is should there be restrictions on handguns? Now, (as I am sure you are already aware of of) in the Declaration of Independence (which defines the American constitution) it states "the right to bear arms". However, no where in that document does it state that you should have one, it just provides you with the rights to chose to own one. My question is: who then is responsible for the fact that most Americans actually own a weapon?

membership does have its privileges.

((((hug)))

happy thanksgiving. I am thankful for what makes our world go around.

Yes, he was her professor. (without getting into details) In my opinion he has always treated her and the situation with the upmost respect. They met 14 years ago--wow, time really passes you by.

Time is a peculiar concept. The difference between 25 and 50 is not nearly as different as the difference between 5 and 30.

I am going to try and swing this one.
