certainly violates the spirit if not the letter of our founding principles, I think Gen. Petraeus is raising the important distinction between free speech and consequence-free speech. And when the consequences of your stupid exercise of free speech Because You Can fall on innocent third parties who are not party to your beef, those third parties are entitled to hold you to account as far as I'm concerned. Fire in a crowded theater is small potatoes compared to thinking your little bigoted tantrum is more important than the lives of the troops. In my opinion of course.

the SPD and the Greens are with you, and a lot of the German population! Folks are pissed off about this manouver!! Some of the states, like Rheinland Pfalz already announced they will fight this decision, as they have invested too much in renueable energy sources to take this lying down. And it IS a conspiracy that the regular folks will pay for in higher electricity bills!!********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

A Florida church preacher is campaigning to burn Quarans (sp.?) on 9/11. General Petreaus is begging for them not to do it as it will put US troops in danger. This whole thing is surreal. A US military general telling Americans not to be free? How much more of this do we have to endure before it stops? In the name of preserving our way of life we are destroying our way of life. I guess peace and tolerance are just quaint old ideas that no longer have any currency in our current world. It reminds me of American proclamations in the Vietnam war saying in order to save the village, we have to destroy it. I never thought I'd see the day when this would happen again, but can't say I'm surprised. ~ All the soldiers dying from Muslim bibles frying ~ Give me an F, a U, a C, a K! Whats that spell? Whats that spell? F * U * C * K, F * U * C * K, F * U * C k!!! Uncle Sam's in a terrible jam Way down yonder in Afghanistan

This is a conspiracy between dr merkel and german energy giants a 15 year extensionThis is a revolution in energy production said the crazy doctor there will be a revolution if i get angry enough WHOS WITH ME!!!

to inspect a nuclear plant from within one of the towers! j/k but UNCOOL action indeed! AND folks pissed off.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Angela Merkel, that wild and crazy head ramrod from the Fatherland, has extended the operating life of nuclear power plants as a way to shore up support for elections coming in a year. Ohh Goody! More nuclear waste for the planet! C'mon anarchists! Do something!!

Storms of this nature had only feminine names, but I think they should have some sort of designation on the off chance that there are more than one in a specific area and time frame in order to differentiate between them. Much easier to do with a name instead of a number. Pray for all whose lives have been disrupted.

Why do thease hurricanes have stupid names like gilbert and earl etc,should be hurricane ruin your fuckin life or hurricane blow your house away.On a more serious note ive heard thousands of peeps have been evacuated there lives disrupted, much love to you all. May the four winds blow you safely home. Pardon the pun.

Clarifying my earlier post re the platform off the coast of Louisiana, the AP now reportsthe rig is a fixed platform that was in production at the time of the fire, producing 58,800 gallons of oil and 900,000 cubic feet of gas per day. The platform can store 4,200 gallons of oil. There may be a spill, possibly from the stored oil. Meanwhile, along the Atlantic seaboard: Kind thoughts of concern go out to you folks on the coast in NC, VA, DE, NJ, PA, NY, CT, NH, MA, ME, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia that will be dealing with the hurricane called Earl.

hope everybody's safe.
