Try it again, I just refreshed your account. I didn't see anything that would cause this but I can't see very much in the user accounts. make sure you're using the right email to log in with. If it still doesn't work, it'll probably require T-Man to help.

I don't know, the logic escapes me... that's a question that one of them would have to answer... I never understood why anyone would need a billion dollars. Right now, there are 300 people who's combined wealth is greater than the lower 3 and a half billion people on this planet. The top 1% of the of the pyramid have 90% percent of the money. I guess at that level you have different priorities, like how do I get the other 10% ?

Madame X it's good to see you... I have nothing but happiness that Saddam and his regime are going away. I was ecstatic that the Taliban were finally gotten rid of. So, why do we put these people in power and keep them in power for so long? Because they figure they will be 'friendly' to American (business) interests. As our own State Department said when confronting the reality of how the Taliban w

I always figured Bush's association with the moonies was for campaign contributions. But now I wonder... Bush has some strange coincidences with his "friends". Did you know that the Bin Laden family are long time business partners with the Bushes? That's how Osama was picked to be the CIA's recruiter for Islamic fundamentalists that could be trained in terrorism. Osama's father in fact was killed in a plane crash in Texas after a meeting with George Bush Sr. When he died his son Saleem

KarmaGirl - where did you get 99-0? I thought there were 5 Senators who refused to go along at all and about 20 who voted in favor with statements of dissent attached. No matter, it's done. But don't forget that the original proposal put before Congress was a duplicate of Hitler's war powers act that would have given Mr Bush the right to declare war against any country, for any reason at any time without Congressional approval or debate. That was a terrifying moment in American politics that see

kona - don't be upset or feel personally attacked. I understand what you're trying to say and I think most people do. Your opinion is as welcome here as any other. You've expressed your feelings with phrases that are easy to rebutt because in America the right to assemble and voice your opposition to the government is a cherished and essential measure of our freedom. When that right is challenged is when everyone will know America is no longer free. I support our troops too even if I d

kona - it would only be un-american to protest if we threw away the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and started spelling America with a 'k' instead of a 'c'. There are many people including Senators, Judges, Foriegn Service Officers, FBI agents etc etc that are protesting both this war and the Bush administration's policies. As long as America remains true to the ideals of the founding fathers and the true American values that make this a great country, there will continue to be di

I just saw joetheblow's link on Freedom Fries... that was hysterical Last night with our dinner we had DicTater-Tots... lol paxx - I think Iran is the next actual 'target' from what the Senate has been saying. If this 'regime change" thing gets some wind behind it America will run out of Generals cause they'll all be off being presidents in little countries. North Korea is a very

you can agree with him kona, that's fine. That doesn't mean he's beat me, just that you agree with him. Most people would agree with him over what I'm saying. That doesn't mean I'm not right though. I notice most of what I've said is ignored. I'm used to this. It's the tough questions that need to be answered. But first people have to want them answered and most people just don't want to know... The hardest man in the world to wake up is the one who's pretending to be asleep. g

I said pull our troops out of Saudi Arabia (maybe you can't read ) not pull out of the Middle East. Not being in Saudi Arabia would do more to prevent terrorism than anything else we could do. To the Arab world it's the equivalent of the Branch Davidians running the Vatican. Worse actually. We can't turn away from the world and I didn't say that, but, I did say that we should stay out of world affai

yeah but they wanted to be arrested. It was their choice. I watched it on the local news and it seemed pretty peaceful. In fact, the whole day of protests was handled pretty well on both sides. I wonder what happened in San Francisco. I heard 1,000 people got arrested there. Maybe someday I'll tell you about demonstrations in the Vietnam/Civil Rights/Free Speech era. That was a lot more astounding than most people know. Only about half of what happened made it to the news. It

"I say, do nothing except this, take all our troops out of Saudi Arabia." what, you can't read? International diplomacy has never been less effective or more self-serving than it is today. We should work for a stronger international alliance and a stronger UN rather than the regretable course we're taking. Apparently Saddam hasn't actually done any atrocities like the very public

"What should be done about Iraq" for the benefit of Bakerstreet First, we need to assume that there is an emergency to "do" something. The Bush administration has told us that Saddam poses an immediate threat to America's mainland, and her interests abroad. Is this true? sorry, no one seems to believe this, including the CIA. No evidence of this threat has been brought forward and the falsified documents and false intelligence leads only add to the overall lack of credibility.

Actually Auguste I have many ideas about what would make a better world. I think if a lot of things had gone differently in the past 40 years this would be a much better world. Maybe if more people really cared to speak out, demand accountability, demand disclosure we could work towards improving things. There's an old saying that applies to far too many Americans, "the hardest man in the world to wake-up is the one who's pretending to be asleep."

Auguste - you seem to be believing the CNN version of Homeland Security and the WAR ON TERROR. We never did get invaded or attacked by Afganis. We actually don't know who the 19 hijackers were, it seems most were using false identities stolen a couple years before. Their nationalities are listed as Saudi Arabian, Egyptian and I think a Yemenite and maybe a Syrian (don't remember now). But according to Robert Mueller of the FBI there isn't a single shred of evidence connecting any of the
