I think you are secretly a folk singer m'self...and yes, she does indeed deserve a tribute. I feel a kinship of spirit with both you and her-- thanks for this'n, and all that you do... little fighter that you are!  and hugs. |

Dixie, it is senseless, crude, cruel, and does nothing to further the cause of Israeli, Middle East, World Peace to bulldoze another human being. I am ashamed, for all of the inhumanity we seem to daily be capable of inflicting upon ourselves. thanks for taking a moment out of your day to reflect on this |

Thanks for helping me through this one, Raph. I'm going to be very busy tonight, with a candlelight vigil for PEACE. Now I'll have to take along an extra candle, to beg forgiveness for another episode of our senseless stupidity. |

You are welcome Eric. But I'd sure prefer to NOT feel a need to write such a thing ever again. May Peace prevail in every heart, and learn to respect and enjoy Life. |

Kacy don't burn your hands, if you're going to light a candle for every act of stupidity you'll start a fire that could take out half the earth..oh wait..maybe we should [This message has been edited by Aenimal (03-16-2003 04:01 PM).] |

Raph, maybe a candle for each lost soul? That glow would surely be seen from outer space. I have no expectations that we can stop the war machines with a candlelight vigil, but hopefully, we can light a pathway to some kind of understanding and dialogue that may prevent this madness from becoming a global conflict. |
