I read <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A29888-2004Mar27?language=printer">this</a> story in the Washington Post this morning and it just tore at my heart. Let alone these women living through an unimaginable time of death when around 800,000 people were killed they were used as sexual toys and have the children from the encounters to deal with on a daily basis.…

Well I can sleep better at night now. I have just been worrying myself sick over who was going to <a href="http://www.space.com/news/tourism_congress_040305.html">regulate space tourism</a>. I sure am glad Congress is addressing this very pertinent issue for me instead of wasting time on more important matters. I wouldn't know what to do without this information.<br />n<br…

A <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20040303/od_uk_nm/oukoe_odd_australia_wool<br />n">bale of wool</a> valued at more than a million dollars. This is astounding to me. I'm sure the few remaining sheep producers in our country would like to see that kind of price for wool. Nobody get any bright ideas, I WILL NOT RAISE SHEEP. I had an old neighbor lady a…

Then there is the <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> issue which has many in the agricultural industry upset with them.
