I thoughts so too, Jeff.

We are the LIVING DEAD!!! There's is no other phrase (that I know of) to capture our current "existence", Jeff.

Can you imagine giving $500.00 EACH for someone who does nothing but give them lip service, but they won't establish a fund with that money who will serve their people in Iraq?

That's all we're good for, Jeff. To show and be shown. Maybe we show sould call ourselves SHOW PEOPLE.

They know that's all we're good for: Dish out money while we stroke their egos.

You don't have to dear, it's the same story everywhere we live. we're stooges. That's why our youth is dead too. They have no idea what killed them.

>Hell, one Chaldean family even gave Bill Clinton a million dollars because they thought he would stop the Sanctions on Iraq 10 years ago. One Million Dollars.

Do you know HOW MANY Iraqis we could have fed with a million AMERICAN dollars?
