Poor UCLA is losing........Awwwwwwwwww  (As if it really hurts!)

Good post. Hard post:( it's different for you, as a man who has actually been in the thick of it. I like to hear your views on things.

Pray that I am honorable in all that I do . . . not too be condemned, or overwhelmed, but that God opens dors for me to make restitution for the things He would have me fix . . . and to learn what to leave in its place . . . and I am going to Mexico in two weeks, so pray for that as well. LOL I have a lot on my mind. Sigh.

Jimmy, thank you for the passage. It was just what I needed.

great post, sad, hard and true.

His peace to you... 

o wow...i did not hear about this...but it'll be an eye opener to a lot of protestors

What amazes me, is that human intelligence and common sense can be measured on a x and y plane. Basically humans have the capacity to be incredibly smart, or at least know right from wrong (even so-called "intelligent thinkers" have had a problem with this), at the same time, the line could just as easily go in the opposite direction, showing the ultimate capacity for human ignorance.

You've basically expressed my collection of thoughts about the topic.

God be with you,

hey brother i hear ya, i told my roomie the story.......he hadn't heard bout the news, an he agrees that it is commical specially to us........but when u look at the big picture it is kinda sad, but if those fecking commies wanna protest the war an live in a safe lil domicile where we're the bad guys..............then what better way to open their eyes, then to send them to the heart of it all an protest here in iraq?.........they'll soon see that they value their lives more then their ideals cause they're weak and lost...........
