<a href="http://www.rutherford.org/articles_db/commentary.asp?record_id=283">Ritalin Nation: Are We Killing Our Children?</a><br />n<br />nGood question. If you can't tell I have a problem with over medication in our society, not only of children but of adults also. The final paragraph of the story says it all.<br />n<br />n<i>Finally, we as a nation must move away from the concept of…

Animals
You know I could have told these people <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~53~2211589,00.html">this</a>. As I always say, "it isn't rocket science." All the critters we share the earth with have a place and we have to be careful about willy nilly destroying them. Even in this moisture starved country i have a few beavers that I protect and…

Terrorists
There is a "War on Terror" going on. I would like to know when something is going to be done about <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A39082-2004Jun13?language=printer">these terrorists</a>. What really galls me is the reporter states:<br />n<br />n<i>In its ongoing guerrilla campaign to promote its environmentalist agenda, ELF has claimed responsibility for more than a dozen acts of sabotage…

Registration
I haven't had the Internet that long but the ability to gather all types of news easily is what I really like about it. Lately I notice more and more papers going to a free registration type system. Now this wave of registrations is <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-bc-ct–newspapers-online0613jun13,0,3743870.story">making news itself</a>. You might note from previous posts that…

Assessment
Well after the big thunderstorm Thursday night and the rain Friday, we went out yesterday to assess the situation in the hills due to the storm. There always seems to be bad that goes along with something good and this rain storm is no different.<br />n<br />nThe good was that it run enough water from…

Determination
Wow, this is a heck of a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35423-2004Jun11.html">story</a>. So young, yet so determined to help. Whether the money will help her or not, hopefully it will help somebody down the road. This is what I call a true hero.<br />n<br />n<b>If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things…

Sleep
Well I didn't sleep very well last night. You may wonder why. I woke up about 1:30 am to hear the rain hitting the house and it has been ever since. It was a sound I haven't hears in so long that I just couldn't sleep. Looking at the radar it looks like it is…

Thunderstorm
I complain that I don't get any rain. Now a thunderstorm just went over and I get to complain again. Sometimes people don't realize that when rain comes that hard it dosen't soak in the ground and do any good. It just all runs off. That's exactly what happened in this case. Oh well it's…

"Rush"
I think I'm turning into a <a href="http://duck.hekhet.net/archives/000186.html">Cranky Old Fart</a>. I never have heard back if I had been accepted for membership or not. But <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20040608_1398.html?USad=true">this news story</a> really made me feel old and cranky. What would posses kids to do something this idiotic? Don't they understand there are better things to do with…
