Religion

The Crusades

I don't know if anyone has floated this idea out yet so I'm going to.

The war in Iraq is very reminiscent of The Crusades that happened way back in the 9th and 10th centuries. Except this time, we are pushing the capitalist/democractic religion onto a theocractic(?) system. Religion is not the goal anymore, Democracy ( hopefully) is. The locations are very similar, the players are mostly the same. Its almost like history repeating itself. I am sure that if we (the US) had been around back then, we would have been involved as well.

I wonder how long we will stick it out until we give up like the warriors of long ago.

The Wrong Cause

Flight 93 the movie, is due to be released soon. What, if any, are your opionions on it?

I for one am strongly opposed to any one seeing this movie. The reasons:

Terrorism
It seems to me to support the terrorist means - even thinking of this day makes my emotions swell, as I hope it does for every American. It also makes me have a slight amount of Fear in my mind, as I do not want to die, especially in a firey plane crash into a building I happen to be visiting, working in, or walking by. Fear begets Terror. Terror begets Terrorism.

Engaged

Allison and I got engaged this weekend in Ocean City. It was April 15
at 1:45 on the beach on 34th Street. We are both very excited and
looking forward to the next journey of our lives together. We are
planing a wedding for May '07.

Ports

Whats the feeling on the ports, I would think one of us would speak up. John whats the talk around there, I mean you work for one of the ports. By the way, I am voting for O'Malley for Governor of MD.
