Dear Jane, I personally support you even if some thin skinned males think that you need to comply with their wishes and insecurities. Articles which you and Curtis forward help to round out the perspective that we in Australia are given by our government which has traditionally supported the US for the last 40 years. To follow the disinformation which has been perpetuated in the name of journalism/propaganda from governments all over the world leads to the insular perspectives that allow governments to subvert democracy as is being done now. In Australia we have sent troops overseas to support George Bush in his quest for world domination. The parliament has not been recalled to debate the issue as our Prime Minister, John Howard, declares that this is a government to Government matter and that it has nothing to do with the Australian people. The quote from Will Winter , "When I lived in Alaska, almost everyone got a "hair trigger" attitude starting around January. After a while you learned, and nobody said nuthin'to nobody lessin' they were looking for trouble. We were all armed too (which does make for a more polite society)!" maybe indicates a great deal of insecurity in a lot of males in the US if they need to keep guns to make for a more polite society. Is that the reason for going to Iraq, to get this trigger happy society something to do. Jane, just keep on reminding that there is a spiritual component to life and that man does not live by bread alone. You can tell when you are being most effective when you start to worry other members of the list that they need to shut you up. Just keep up the good work. Dont let them shut you up. Go well, James Hedley.
