ion as we see in iraq only makes matters worse those who would remove the separation of church and state in the us ought to meditate on this as a religious skeptic i find it increasingly difficult to sympathize with those who create the conditions for their own hell war death and destruction patience understandably grows thin posted by lynn 10 17 am 0 comments flight to safety more grim news coming from iraq more iraqis said to flee since troop increase nyt the number of iraqis fleeing their homes has soared since the american troop increase began in february according to data from two humanitarian groups accelerating the partition of the country into sectarian enclaves despite some evidence that the troop buildup has improved security in certain areas sectarian violence continues and american led operations have brought new fighting driving fearful iraqis from their homes at much higher rates than before the tens of thousands of additional troops arrived the studies show the surveys show that 500 000 people have fled their homes since the troop buildup because of increased fighting in their neighborhoods for one reason posted by lynn 9 58 am 0 comments thursday august 23

george w bush s troop increase as a strategy for stabilizing baghdad saying the plan has harmed u s national security according to a new survey as congress and the white house await the september release of a key progress report on iraq 53 percent of the experts polled by foreign policy magazine and the center for american progress said they now oppose bush s troop build up that is a 22 percentage point jump since the strategy was announced early this year the survey of 108 experts including republicans and democrats showed opposition to the so called surge across the political spectrum with about two thirds of conservatives saying it has been ineffective or made things worse in iraq foreign policy published by the carnegie endowment for international peace said the experts polled on may 23 to june 26 included former government officials in senior positions including secretary of state white house national security adviser and top military commanders the findings were published in the form of a terrorism index in the magazine s september october issue to be released on monday the magazine published similar indices in july 2006 and in february just so we did not miss it with about two thirds of conservatives saying it has been ineffective or made things worse in iraq posted by lynn 6 35 am 0 comments saturday august 18 2007 howl lost and found i have been

is 2 71 the natural log of 10 is 2 3 of 100 is 4 6 and of 1 000 is 6 9 for each factor of 10 the natural log increases about 2 3 that s a handy rule to know too bad life in general does not have more

attention to a now that is night or to an i to whom it is night we will approach it and let ourselves point to the now that is asserted we must let ourselves point to it for the truth of this immediate relation is the truth of this i which confines itself to one now or one here were we to examine this truth afterwards or stand at a distance from it it would lose its significance entirely for that would do away with the immediacy which is essential to it we must therefore enter the same time or space point them out to ourselves i e make ourselves into the same singular i which is the one who knows with certainty let us then see how that immediate is constituted that is pointed out to us hegel phenomenology of spirit miller translation and now my song du jour when you walk in the room i can feel a new expression on my face i can feel a glowing sensation taking place i can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes every time that you walk in the room i close my eyes for a second and pretend it s me you want meanwhile i try to act so nonchalant i see a summer s night with a magic moon every time that you walk in the room maybe it s a dream come true walkin right along side of you wish i could tell you how much i care but i only have the nerve to stare i can feel a something pounding in my brain just any time that someone speaks your name trumpets sound and i hear thunder

intelligence consists of memory and imagination that arise from a thoroughly embodied mind we remember things or make things up then we utter something about it or write it down and then we call ourselves intelligent our thoughts depend upon our bodies if intelligent life exists on some other planet we would not recognize it unless that life has a body similar to our own an infinitesimally small probability men made out of words what should we be without the sexual myth the human revery or poem of death castratos of moon mash life consists of propositions about life the human revery is
