What kind of a world do we live in when we must live each day in fear of our death?
This is what is has come to.
I actually feel myself being afraid at school because I don't know if today is the day it's going to happen to us. Is today the day for me to die? Is today the day that will change everyone forever?
It never used to be like this. I don't ( Read more... ) -

Eight more Canadian soldiers have been killed in the past week in the mission in Afghanistan, bringing the total up to fifty three since 2001 (forty-five of which happened in the last fourteen months) This is absolutely unacceptable.

I know that it's bad
That it's the kind that they can't operate on
And I know it's real slow, honey
Painful and real slow

It's a bit frightening to think that even in an area such as this, extreme violence can occur.
Just this morning, at approximately 2 am the police were contacted by the owner of M & J Billiards for assistance. It appears that, as far as I know so far, someone came in with a hatchet to attack the owner. Incase you guys are not aware of where it is, ( Read more... ) -

So the british sailors have been released.
In every picture of them I've seen, they have been sitting around comfortably, with food, laughing amongst themselves. Strange, isn't it?
