Witty Owl,

Don't take yourself so seriously. You won't last long around here if you do. David, unfortunately, took himself very seriously. Pity.

Lightning, Interesting. I thought I was the only one who had a problem with this particular song. The first time I heard Chelsea Hotel #2, those two lines you quoted leapt out at me. The ending phrase, "Besides, I don't think of you that often" seemed to me to be more than a little cruel. ...

George, I liked you better when you were sozzled.

George, I guess inebriation would explain your post. When you sober up you will realize that this poll will only inflame everyone. The deliberately skewed title of your poll belies you desire for "peace" and it's purpose seems to be to continue all the "squabbling." Happy Hangove...

Sorry Candice, my apologies for the mistake.

Thanks, Paula for the tip. My chair is on the table.

Well, surprise, surprise...I see a member of the peace party has once again instigated a fight. Was it Candace who observed that it was the Peace People who drug this war all over the forum? George, were you drunk last night? I saw all your pleas for peace between the members of the forum. And then ...

Dear vern, Believe it or not I've read all of your "cut and paste" articles. I was annoyed to no end by the political views expressed in them. I even went to the CBC links and the opinions there drove me up a wall. But who cares? At least you got one pro-war person to read them. The cut an...

Huzzah! The Clique strikes again! Face it Candace, you and your views expressed in your cut and pastes are not welcome here. Don't you get it. If you are of the right political persuasion you may cut and paste with impunity. (In fact we are instructed to print out Liz's offerings for future referenc...

Dear Byron,

I think you people are crazy. No one is brutally honest. No one reveals the real truth about themselves. Everyone self-edits. Especially Leonard Cohen. He's made a career of it. He's interesting and amusing and occasionaly profound. But brutally honest. NO

This is why I have hesitated bringing this up. The mantra is always Islam is a religion of peace. (Even George Bush repeats this refrain). It is not. It is a religion of submission or else. In every country in which it is the dominant religion it's power is maintained by the sword. Are there peacefu...

I agree with David on many points about the convoluted and very complicated history that has lead to this war. But there is one very important element to this debate that has not been broached. There is the proverbial elephant in the room. The one everyone would rather not see. And that elephant's n...

Dear Lizzytysh,

I congratulate you on the rapidity with which you edit your posts. But it really doesn't help. "Perhaps" doesn't change the facts. The Wall conversation didn't happen. The author admits it. So spare us his histrionics. I much prefer yours.

Dear Lizzytysh, Just a note to let you in on something. Remember that weepy bit of propaganda you passed on to the forum. "The Wall." It's complete bull shit. It never happened. No conversation in the snow. No Viet Nam Vet shouting out his rage and pain into the uncaring night. The whole t...

Dear Nan,


You have made a terrible mistake. Questioning the Peace Party's assertions will make you persona non-grata here. You have unwittingly joined Linda, eeey and me in the Axis of American Evil. Run for your life!

Byron, There are so many things I want to say and respond to in your posts, but I can’t due to the amount of time I have today. Although, it is not the final determining factor of who we are and become, I feel that our personal backgrounds play an undeniable part of how we view the world. I know tha...
