Don't kid yourself. Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rumsfield is an attempt at revolution. While Kerry is old school, he is at least (I hope) not a fundamentalist takeover! You bet "hope is on the way" - The world depends upon it :-)

I hope you all have a peaceful and restful holiday filled with love, friends and music

"Nice, but has naughty lapses. High marks in the good deeds department. Better than average manners. Hopefully, thoughtfulness will continue to be as good as last month. Neatness needs improvement!"

Naughty lapses?? hmmmm

Bang-on with the neatness thing though...

Phred, Imagine my surprise when I opened this post!!!

MoomBeam and Tracy are not the same person. Same avatar, same name (almost) but not the same cyber hippy chick!!!

MoonBeam needs a new avatar!!!

Thank you!!!

Peter Gabriel is one of my favourite artists! I really wish I could have been there. I heard an interview with him - he was talking about his tour set designer - a guy from Quebec - Gabriel loves this guy and called Quebec (city) one of his fav places in North America!!

I would have given anything to hear him sing Mercy street again........

OK OK, I guess I'll go to the ELBOW ROOM on Friday night.......

I missed my morning coffee.........

anyway.......

the show will be great!!

I had the distinct pleasure of hearing a Huxie practice last night -great sounds were eminating from the basement!

Friday will be a lot of fun and an auditory experience par excellence!!!

Who's going to be there??

PEIPunk gets my vote too. That was spot on!!!

I laughed out loud, thanks!!!

I don't remember my first nightmare but I sure remember a re-occurring one I had as a child. Seems really bizarre (and harmless) now but it terrified me then. I would enter an elevator and there sat an elderly women at a card table lined with red velvet, she wore a visor, much like a poker dealer. There was a lace table lamp on the table in front of her. The same thing happened everytime I had the dream. There was a button on the table which she asked me to remove. I couldn't move it. Couldn't budge it. Somehow it was related to me exiting the elevator. It wasn't happenning!! As a child I was terrified. I must have had this dream a million times. My mom's advice was to think of a comforting movie to put me to sleep. I always thought of Wizard of OZ!!! Comforting??? I think perhaps therapy is in order!!

Let's hope none of us do!!!

Save some for those that'll be arriving post 1 am!!!

article from MotherJones

---| From the Editor |-------------------------------------------

It may not be fair to contend that a majority of Americans

oppose war against Iraq, but recent polls have shown that

millions in the US are deeply ambivalent about the Bush

administration's pursuit of a war, and the preemptive military

doctrine on which that pursuit is built. So why haven't those

millions joined the nascent anti-war movement? Todd Gitlin

argues that the reason is found in the movement itself -- or

at least in its leadership.
