I've been lurking a bit here--checking out some of the various threads before I dive in. I think that there is a need for me to state a general principle that will apply to many of the discussions here.

At the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows and the wind smells slow-and-sour when it blows and no birds ever sing excepting old crows.. is the Street of the Lifted Lorax. And deep in the Grickle-grass, some people say, if you look deep enough you can still see, today, where the Lorax once sto...

Israel and Lebannon geared up, fought for a while, and geared down, with not much to show for it other than a bunch o...

I cringe to ask this question. Does anyone have theories about alternate explanations for September 11? The one thing that sticks in my head, is when i watched the towers come down, I thought: that building looks like it was imploded. It was just too neat. I saw a carefully orchestrated b...
