I thank god too at times for these times of relative peace for many of us and the internet. Nothing so purifying as is the sunlight of the day. Have to be thankful that we can write like we do here on FFL and also even carry on a discussion with(some of) the Dome over-seers without arrest or may be worst over the things we may say. A lot different than Siberia: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18116112 "The labour force was almost entirely made up of "enemies of the people" - prisoners convicted of "political" offences. ..hard labour for that supposedly political crime," explains Lyudmila, "but what did it have to do with politics?"" -Buck back in the Dome --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, iranitea <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > I think it's fair to introduce myself, well as you can probably see from my > > handle, I use an anonymous one.
