A song by REM

This is wonderful and appreciated. 

Thank you.  I think very highly of the two of you.

This defines an important part of friendship for me.   

Oatmeal will kill me.  I am highly allergic!

I don't have to worry about any studies. 

It really doesn't matter where these people hail from.  They could be from the moon.  They made and incredibly bad decision and it more than likely was not the only bad decision that they have made.  This time, they actually got caught. 

Children are a blessing not a burden.  Someone forgot to tell them that.  And, by the way, no dog should be tied up on a chain in the backyard ever.  (I read this article yesterday, long before you posted it.  There is so much wrong with these human beings ... it is astronomical.).   

The video that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard made was disrespectful and insincere.  ... Unless the rumor is true and gun toting kangaroos made them do it. 

She should have claimed the dogs.  It's law.  End of story. 

The big picture is a complicated one.  It does seem to me if we are willing to sell arms to kill these people then we should, with good conscience, pick up the coins that have fallen to the ground and find homes for the people we essentially attempted to kill. 

The guns are coming from somewhere and are sold to someone.  I know here in Canada, we just sold a poop-load. 

Painful Canadian musical memory. 

It has never occurred to you Terry that "A Power" is playing the long game?  Syria was ripe for the plucking twenty five years ago.  Iraq was the bonus in the bag and the hatred brewing in Afghanistan has been going on for the bulk of my cognisant existence ... mix religion, video game mentality, people who pay attention to the 'smallish-things'  and Boom!  You have now won the chess game. 

There are extreme Islamic terrorists in the Philippines.  How strategic.   If you don't think human beings are being manipulated on many levels then you are sadly mistaken. ...  We are looking at what actually triggers the human psyche, religion, ego, materialism and sentimentality. 

There lives some pretty smart minds out there... I am impressed.  I would never think of doing this but hey!  Ego was never one of my things.  

For me it is philosophy.  If you visit Japan, it takes on the power of religion which is really quite beautiful.
