BBC NEWS | Americas | Senate backs Alaska oil drilling
I've written my Senator expressing my displeasure at his vote on this. It does nothing, absolutely nothing to solve our dependence on oil yet it will end up destroying one of the last untamed areas of our nation. A sad day for the nation and our children, and their children.

This just goes to show what they think of our sacrifices over the years. Broken promises once again. Write your Congressman and Senator people!!!

ID cards bill faces rebellion - Yahoo! UK & Ireland News
Can someone tell me just how having a national ID card is going to protect me or you? It's just one more tool in the government's arsenal to "protect" us from ourselves, or as I like to think of it as the government protecting itself from the people. Every little bit of freedom we give up in the name of convenience and safety only enslaves us to the government more.

Besides his leaving would do wonders for the morale of the military, especially the Army.

Well, it's getting close. I had my retirement ceremony on Thursday. The movers come in on Monday and the family and I leave the UK on the 23rd of October. I've been in the Air Force for over 20 years now and have enjoyed my time. But it's time to go and start a new life. I'll always be "in" the Air Force though. Lots of good people who do what many don't. It's been my privilege to serve. I won't be officially retired until 1 February 2005 but no more work for me.

But the Norwich show was my first full gig. I was as close to the stage as possible and wasn't disappointed. I saw them Friday night in London and it was just as awesome. What a way to finish up my time here in the UK. So let me just say thanks to Al, Mark, Harry, Tony and Bob for the fantastic show. Keep your nitelight burning!
