Ah, poor Schwa, I think we left ya like that for a good 5 minutes. How's the knee?

Thanks for having me everyone!!! Had a friggin' blast!

P.S. I think it's very very instead of really really, but we'll hafta check with Simone.

P.S.S. Egyptian food rocks my socks off!!!

Since you asked, I believe it would be "in this post," not "on this post."

Are we trying to work towards advancement or bickering?

Alright, so then where do we begin? Is anyone aware that the U.S. agricultural industry produces enough food to adequately feed the entire world, only to provide the "creme de le creme" to lucrative markets, while the rest becomes livestock feed or even compost, while millions starve? Definitely not a problem of production, but of distribution. How about the fact that the pharmeceutical industry is the most lucrative in the world, based on eternal symptom suppression, as opposed to actual treatment? Thoughts anyone?

Ah, the inevitable history lesson. I know that my posts and my presence are few and far between, but I must agree with Paisely on several points. The foreign extremist reactions to American foreign social, political, and economic policy shouldn't surprise anyone even vaguely aware of U.S. foreign (and domestic) policy. Especially in the historical sense. Numerodos brings up some very important points as well. It's no secret that the United States is a DECIDEDLY capitalist country, and complacency is the fuel for the fire. So few U.S. citizens are truly aware of foreign policies and their implications that it's staggering. Yet, what sociopolitical tools are more effective? Fear, or ignorance? Close race, I think. Power=profit, profit=power. I am in no way condoning communism, for I believe in individuality, but empire building is an ancient art. And The United States has done their homework. The same systems that are installed to protect our rights have an amazing capacity to sway policies in whichever direction powerful interests wish. Checks and balances can also become infinite loopholes, through which manipulation of policy can be facilitated. Patriots are those who are actively involved in staying informed, and working towards what they feel is best for the country we love. Seems a rarity these days. Please excuse my venting, but this has become more and more prevelant an issue, and I believe it deserves more open discussion than it receives. I love my country, but I fear my government.

Well, it's time for us yanks to rally up our Canadian teammates! For all that haven't been, Nelson Ledges is up there as one of the best forums I've ever attended. White sand beaches in view of the stage, cliff jumping, great campground. Rusted Root, Little Feat, Grisman quartet, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, and many other magnificent bands. Fireworks, and an all around great time. Check it out at www.nlqp.com! I think Karin posted something about it on th CTMF topic, but I thought I'd give'er it's own. Let us know! Carpooling and such! Keri, sorry we couldn't make the benefit show, but I hope it went great!
