Afghanistan is a mess. The Taliban is back and has mounted serious offenses in recent weeks. NATO says they need more troops. And why is the Taliban back? Well, one of the reasons people are pointing to is our government's plan to eradicate opium. We've hired a corporation to go through the fields of the poorest farmers in Afghanistan and destroy their opium crop.

Full Length Movie - Hemp for Victory WW2 1942
| This is a US Deptartment of Agriculture WWII film extolling the virtues of hemp, NOT MARIJUANA.....there is a difference. Long ago when these ancient Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850 all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable. A 44-gun frigate like our cherished Old Ironsides took over 60 tons of hemp for rigging, including an anchor cable 25 inches in circumference. The Conestoga wagons and prairie schooners of pioneer days were covered with hemp canvas. Indeed the very word canvas comes from the Arabic word for hemp. In those days hemp was an important crop in Kentucky and Missouri. Then came cheaper imported fibers for cordage, like jute, sisal and Manila hemp, and the culture of hemp in America declined. | |

The first remarkable close-up pictures of animals in the womb
An unborn elephant, tiny but perfect in every way. A dolphin swimming in the womb, just as it will have to swim in the ocean the moment it is born. An unborn dog panting.
Each one amazing and now, thanks to these remarkable pictures, they can be seen for the first time.

Blue october / What If We Could
Artist: Blue october
Song: What If We Could
Album: Foiled
what if we could
put our lives on
hold and meet some
where inside of the world
i would meet you
would you meet me?
2, 3, 4...
on a park bench
on a skyscrape
on a mountain
oh yeah, whatever it takes
i would meet you
would you meet me?
i'm glad to say that we've met
but i'm sad to say that the circumstances where
on our side
so go on
go on be your own
go on be your own star
what if we could?
where would we go?
if it felt right
would you want me to know
i would meet you
would you meet me
it's like a last chance
for a first dance
you're a sunrise
can't somehow exist
i would meet you
would you meet me
i'm glad to say that we've met
but i'm sad to say that the circumstances where
on our side
so go on
go on be your own
go on be your own star
a simple star in my eyes
in my eyes
look in my eyes
just look in my eyes
my eyes
my eyes!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
Happy Thanksgiving to all and wish the best to everyone. Please remember those who can't be with there
loved ones on American holiday. Remember those who are in harms way today not because we are
(wrongly?) at war but because they are following the orders that they were given. If it was not for men and
women who obayed the orders that they were given in years past the world would be a different place and we
might not even have this privlige. Be thankful for them for those that served and those who died. Pray that
one day we will be thankful that the world had finally found peace and that there were no more wars.
