750 Jaspers are active on the Distribute Yahoo site. (Whatever was going on a Yahoo stopped, and I have no idea why it dropped some emails. If you’re not getting the email, please advise.) The site had 4,863 unique visits last week. 23 in LinkedInJaspers (http://tinyurl.com/yp6x2q). (That was a bust!) mcALUMdb is STILL off the air. 357 page views for the week over at the daily blog.

http://apnews.myway.com//article/20070817/D8R2Q77G0.html 3 Rescue Workers Killed at *** begin quote *** *** end quote *** The readership know how much I am in awe of people who do the “right thing” regardless of the price they have to pay. Here are three who die trying to save six. And, they don’t know that the six are alive. It could all just be a “recovery operation” as the euphemism goes. Courage is to be afraid and do it anyway. Greater love hath no man than … … As I often say, when my challenges come, I hope mine are a lot less demanding. Unlike my fellow alum, I’m not so sure that when so “measured” I might be a little short of perfection. I’ll probably be in the “change shorts” category. So when I say my “now I lay me down”’s, I’ll add 9 souls. Three of who aren’t Jaspers, but certainly have exhibited the characteristics I hope I have and know my fellow alums have. fjohn68 |

POOR AND UNEDUCATED, LIKE WE THOUGHT *** begin quote *** There are, of course, intelligent, well-educated children
of wealthy parents serving in the military. But they are the exception, not
the rule. If *** end quote *** I don’t know what the demographics are, but I do know that there is no good reason for “nation building”. As far as the “war on terror” — how one has a war on a tactic I don’t understand — goes, it would seem that killing folks who certain tend to annoy their relatives. I can visualize the “pleasantries” that would go on if say Communist China started policing NYC. It would be amusing to see the local militia (the drug gangs) join forces with the police to attack a common foe. Why should it be different half a globe away? Bring the boys and girls home by the first thing heading this way. Return to George Washington’s foreign policy. End the phony war on terror – drugs – whatever. Pardon the non-violent drug offenders. And, MYOB. We all be a lot freeer, safer, and better off. |
And that’s the last word.
