And the fact that Communists- like some Christians I know- aren't all the same, and don't care for one sect or another...only their own. Further more, the US went to war under the guise of a "Police Action (rightly or wrongly)...to bypass Congress. <BR/>Yes, the deeper I look, the more I understand the phrase "History repeats itself". <BR/>I can't wait to finish writing this...but I've been reading blogs for the last hour!

I'm only guided by my sense of fair play, not by an overreaching dogma or ideology. <BR/><BR/>As long as you don't interpret my reemarks as an attack against you (I'd just as soon unplug my keyboard than to write something that seems like an attack against you), then I'll respond candidly to questions of that type. Just keep in mind my esteem and respect for you as an individual.X.

A woman of integrity? Hmmmmm. She was young when she married, to an older and very wealthy man...she was inexperienced in the world--her husband was VERY experienced. She was a virgin--he was most assuredly not...<BR/>I suppose the integrity came later...when she wasn't making her self sick to be terrifyingly skinny, or trying to kill herself.<BR/>Yes, quite the rold model for me or my daughter! <BR/>She did realize later the power she had to sway public opinion and public funds to help those with AIDS, and starving children. Diana was a real person, with real problems, and a real heart for suffering--she could relate.<BR/>Whether or not that gives a person integrity--I'm not sure.<BR/><BR/>Suffering does change a person though...Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1150397885771034852006-06-15T13:58:00.000-05:002006-06-15T13:58:00.000-05:00Angelina Jolie is a skank. I am glad to see that ...Angelina Jolie is a skank. I am glad to see that she stands for something. But I think I would go for backing Lady Di (at least she had integrity). It is hard for me to have any love for most of Hollywood. Everything these actors do is all about getting their name out and more publicity. It is hard to see what they really think or care about, they are actors all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1150383244664757142006-06-15T09:54:00.000-05:002006-06-15T09:54:00.000-05:00Friends...I am learning something here. I know I ...Friends...I am learning something here. I know I studied this when I was younger, but it meant nothing to me.<BR/><BR/>The fact that it took an actress, worried about little kids arms and legs being blown off- to get me to read about this period of history is ________ to me (couldn't pick an adjective! "fasicinating, shocking, thrilling, worrisome, alarming, irritating, wonderful"--you see my problem!)<BR/><BR/>Political differences aside...I want to know what you think as I unspool the events the way they are recorded (X~ I am using several different sources--including my history book from 9th grade! lol!)<BR/><BR/>Lux, being somewhat closer to the area...how does any of this affect you, if at all?<BR/><BR/>X- being a teacher, well read, well traveled...and I think on the other side of the political fence than myself (I'm still nuts about you though! :) I will be interested in hearing what you think about "limited war"--when I finally have time to write about it.<BR/><BR/>IAMNOT...keep talking to Angelina. However, she probably needs advice on how to manage 3 kids, and you know all about that! lol!<BR/><BR/>My Step Father-in-law, fought in Korea. So I actaully have someone in my life who was there and can shed a unique perspective on this post.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being here, bear with me as I work through this...it could take a while. I'll be gone all week next week.Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1150379353510539312006-06-15T08:49:00.000-05:002006-06-15T08:49:00.000-05:00I’ve told Angelina a dozen times that the constitu...I’ve told Angelina a dozen times that the constitution has got nothing to do with it. The government doesn’t have a right to keep and bear arms. That’s the people. Just like everything else in the constitution the 2nd amendment constrains the government.
