Checks and balances are needed, yes. In so many areas of life.

I can only theorize about the "why" economics, power, revenge, oil at the public's expense....NO, it is not a "JUST" war!!!

I also find it hard to believe 9/11 was about radical religious rhetoric too.
It was more about power and revenge IMO and I don't believe our own gov was behind it. I think possibly we may have been the underlying cause
but certaintly not the conspirators.

You know what's "funny"... despite the public pride al-Qaida takes in having brought down the twin towers, something like 60% of the Muslim world still doesn't believe Muslims were involved. One of the most popular of their conspiracy theories is that it was all carried out by Jews who wanted to frame the Muslim world.

I believe you're referring to Muslim "extremists".

There's a distinct difference.

Traditional Muslims are just as
angry about the whole thing as we are.

I understand the distinct difference. But in my post above, no distinction was made intentionally.

I'm doing great, but we're dry, and my veggie garden is
REALLY thirsty.

My neighbors are outta water and digging deeper wells.

We need RAIN in a bad way.

Got any you can send over?

The rain dances ain't cuttin' it.

It rained all the way to the Cascades on our way home yesterday. Once we came down the east side....................dry as always.

Talk about "crazy-from-the-heat"....I saw two mourning dove, a
farm cat and a squirrel drinking simultaneuosly from the back
yard bird bath/watering hole Saturday.

That was a kodak moment.

No, it went down pretty quickly. That's the first thing I kicked
myself over....

I gotta Ged a pic of the raccoon hitting the sunflower seeds.

I have bird feeder on a pole that's mounted through the middle of
a round outdoor (umbrella) table.

(The birds eat out of the feeder. I put squirrel nums on the table.)

He stands on the table and dances around the pole on his hinds
while stuffing his snout in the bird feeder. It's butt-funny.

I'm now to where he isn't afraid of me, and I can stand there
at the table and watch his 'sunflower waltz.'

Oh, for your outdoor creature habitat notes:

Raccoons love sunflower seeds.
