That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end. - --Lise Hand, describing Irish journalist Veronica Guerin, who was killed as a result of her investigations of Irish organized crime. |

http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=3604 Raw: Good Samaritans Rescue Family from Overturned Truck Well, the rescuers probably were NOT putting their own lives at risk, but they might have been doing so. The way those guys were jumping into the water, there was no way they ‘knew” they weren’t at risk. So you have to have the stones to see what you perceive as “your duty” and go do it. I hope my challenges are much smaller. fjohn68 |

Until the 1960s, he says, record companies dictated the kinds of music we listened to. “So when one band succeeded, they signed 40 more just like it.” But artists like Bob Dylan were not going to take direction from anyone. “It was a sort of musical civil rights movement,” says

MNEWS: went to see the President of Manhattan College, Brother Thomas Scanlan http://seanpatrickbrennan.blogspot.com/2007/ Defrocked, Debunked and Delivered ***Begin Quote*** Realizing I was gay in those years was one of the toughest
things I had to go through. I knew it wasn’t a sin–I wasn’t delusional–but I
also knew I was stuck, with no one to talk to about it. One person I finally
confided in was a college professor who I knew to be gay himself. As I am
publishing these reflections online, I won’t go into specifics about him or
the other people I told I was gay, including fellow Brothers, but it was very
much a helpful process for me. Unfortunately for my professor, he wasn’t so
lucky. His letters to me were intercepted unbeknownst to me–either before I
read them (re-sealed?) or after I had read them and stolen from my room.
After I left–I found out later–the Brothers of my community went to see the
President of Manhattan College, Brother Thomas Scanlan.
They reported the letters to him and attempted to get my teacher friend
fired. They never showed any real concern, any real Christian love for me,
but instead took their warped minds to the campus of ***End Quote*** WOW! # # # # # |

Exchange hosted on Facebook Between Gavin T. Cosgrove and You ===== ===== ===== Gavin T. Cosgrove Hi John, I tried to include a message. I'm a jasperjottings faithful and am trying to join the MC Alumni Network on Facebook (but it requires an mc alumni). I saw that you were on the MC network (I assume with an alumni email) so I was hoping you could shed some light. Cheers, ===== ===== ===== John Reinke Hi Gavin, Yes, I have an @alumni.manhattan.edu address. Let me poke around. Did you ever sign up for the old alumni web site? If you did, then whatever userid you used is still active as userid@alum.manhattan.edu. You can't change where it forwards to, but it still works. They are supposed to be putting a new alumni think up. But, it's months overdue. l8r, # # # # # |

*** begin quote *** The Military Order of the Purple Heart got it right when it stated that for the first time in history, HR 2640 "would statutorily impose a lifetime gun ban on battle-scarred veterans." The Military Order of the Purple Heart, which is chartered by Congress, is urging the DEFEAT of HR 2640, the Brady-expansion legislation introduced by anti-gun Rep. Carolyn McCarthy. Despite what you may have heard elsewhere, this bill THREATENS gun owners' rights and represents one of the biggest gun bans in history. A recent case in Pennsylvania shows how easily a gun owner can be slapped with a LIFETIME gun ban, without any due process, based solely on a mere accusation by a shrink or other "lawful authority." All the background checks in the world will NOT stop bad
guys from getting firearms. Severe restrictions in *** end quote *** The gooferment doesn’t want an armed population. When one
