I remember seeing these dullards on the side of the street carrying signs when I was a child 50 years ago. Here's a brief on the history of THE END IS NEAR. The Romans exiled John "The Divine" to Pathos (Turkey). He wrote that the end was coming in the year 81. John "The Divine's" claim to fame? He wrote most of Revelations. He said it was revealed to him by God and the visions were to be sent to the 7 churches. The next date, 365, was the 1st date that Christ would return, signifying the end of the world. Didn't happen. After that? The year 1000 was the 2nd date Christ would return. Guess what? Didn't happen. 1033 was the third date in history marking THE END. In 1347 the Bubonic Plague killed half the population of Europe and was thought to be the END of the world. Didn't happen. The song of the plague was "Ring Around the Rosy" Rosy was the sores. Pocket full of posey was the puss. Ashes, ashes we all fall down denoted the burning of the bodies. In 1691 Cotton Mather predicted the end of the world. Didn't ...

I sent an e-mail to the doctor explaining what I would do. I'm waiting for his response. Let me premise this with the fact that MLK got about a million people to descend on Washington to demand equality and justice for all and rights for all  citizens be enforced. For the sake of this dream of reality lets assume 200,000 concerned citizens show up in Washington. All that possess weapons, and it should be all, should display their weapons permits clipped to their shirt pockets or lapel. I'M NOT SAYING BRING THE GUNS .... I'm saying just display the permits. Permits mean guns and ammo and the ability of the citizens to use them. Hopefully, Washington would get the "subtle messgage" and figure out We, the People will step up and use force if necessary to effect change on the quislings in Washington.

Here's the first year results: Austrailia-wide homicides up 3.2%. ??Austrailia-wide assaults up 8.6%. Austrailia-wide armed robberies up 44%. In Victoria alone, homicides up 300%.

Well, here they are for your enjoyment, scrutiny, and/or debate. 1) War is raw (Actually, war is raw spelled backwards. If you've been in a war you know what I mean) 2) Bullets change government quicker than votes 3) There's no need for the National Guard, if there's no guard for the national need 4) A trusted shepherd can lead the flock to slaughter 5) There is a thin line between opinion and theory 6) A city set on a hill cannot be easily hidden 7) He who strikes first in a Nuclear War has a distinct advantage 8) A fool is only a fool if he continues to act foolish 9) A smart man gets an education while the mouth of a fool fuels his own demise 10) Respond to a fool according to his folly, or better yet, don't respond at all 11) Man is the crowning wonder of creation 12) Not only does history repeat itself, sometimes it screams out loudly 13) The overall thought of many impinges on the thoughts of the few 14) An Icon will stand in water to its knees 15) A torch will fade as ...

Let's go to California, again. A UCLA student is shocked with a taser gun amidst a student protest. Here's what happened. Mostafa Tabatabainijad. WHO?? Mostafa Tabatabainejad, an IRANIAN STUDENT and member of THE MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION. Member of what?? THE MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION? Is that different from the regular Student Association? Was shocked after arguing with campus police as the conducted a routine ID check od students at the UCLA campus Powell Library computer lab. "Tabby" refused to show his ID (did he have one?) and refused to leave the building when he was instructed to do so. Campus Police sat they "tasered" "Tabby" after he urged others to join his resistance and a crowd began to gather. Footage from other students camera phones showed "Tabby" screaming on the floor of the computer lab creating the beginnings of a riot. Other students at the scene said there was no sign "Tabby" was targeted because of his middle-eastern appearance. Of course his attorneys disagreed. The ACLU will probably get involved and I'm sure civil rights attorneys will jump on this one. (They did!!) All "Tabby" had to do was ...

Let me start by saying my mother numbered and dated these letters as she received them. I'm going to prefaced the letters with why I wrote them. I palliated most of them because I didn't want to alarm my parents who turned totally gray by the time I got home. I was flown over on a civilian airline with stops in Hawaii, where guys got off and didn't return, Japan, where we were now not allowed to get off, then on to Nam. As we approached what was called an airport, the captain circled because the compound, which it really was, was under attack. We circled for awhile and then landed, breaking hard due to the short runway. We stayed at the end of the runway, engines still running fast, as the second wave hit the the tiny airport. THEY WERE ATTACKING AND WE HAD NO WEAPONS ON THE PLANE AND HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN OFF YET. After that attack was repeled we taxied to the little compound. I was first guy off the rear door and when the stench hit my nose I almost puked and stepped back into the doorway. An ...
