[inlink]nicholas,56[/inlink] First of all thanks for posting the pics nicholas or nick not sure what you like to be called. I don't know what type of buliding should replace the towers. I like both old aniciant looking bulidings and new modern ones. I think that yes some type of memorial to the Trade Center and to those lost should be included in it. But at the same time the buliding should reflect not only remembering what happened but also moving on. I know there where a bunch of ideas proposed and they where voted on. But I don't really know who got to vote. I guess this design is the one that won. I admit that it does look a little odd. But I think that anything else there would look od also. I think a good skyline has old neat looking buildings and very new cool and interesting buildings. Again I'm not sure what the building should look like. I guess no matter what design was picked there will be some people upset. I think that along with a memorial to those lost to 911 in the building and the cops and the firefighter they should have pictures and designs of all the propossed bulidings to replace the towers and how they did on the voting. Someday who knows 9/11 maybecome a holiday like Pearl Harbor Day. I think it is only fair that people in the future can see other buildings that could have replaced the towers but that where not picked. History is very interesting but it becomes more interesting when you know the entire story not just the dates and the so called line. People need to remember that this buliding is not just in the now it is a piece of history weather they like it or not. Well that is my 2 cents from someone who has never made it to New York the nearest was East Rochelle or what ever that place was called where I went to a swim meet. If I was a New Yorker I'm sure I would feal differantly.

Hockey Lose Go Bills :) :( Last Night I went to that Friday Bills Blue rally or what ever it was called. It was good but I thought they could have had more football talk and less music, but that is me. John Murphy said they where on live on Empire but I wasn't at home so I don't know. I guess they are going to show it tonight on empire. I did have fun listing to Steve Tasker and Adre Reed speak.
I got home and Watched the End of the World Cup of Hockey. The game was Tied But the US lost the game on a great looking goal. I was pissed I was looking forward to overtime and a possible US win. But since the game ended before showgirls I watched it. Wow there is a lot of Nudity and great nudity in that Movie. Gina Gershon [however you spell it] alone is amazing not to mention all the other showgirls and stripers wow. I say every guy who is stright has to see it for the nudity alone.
Tonight at 6:30 I belive Canada plays, I can't remember who. But I will be watching and and pulling for them. I know the US was favored last night I assume Canada is the favorite tonight if they are I hope the favorite dosn't fall again. I'm hoping for a great game. I will also be checking out that bills thing on empire. I want to see how they can strecth it out into an hour like it is listed on the guide. Plus maybe I will see myself. I hope the Bills have a good season this year but I doubt it will happen. I think the Jags are going to whop em, hope I'm wrong.

Prisoner Abuse[inlink]paul,1910[/inlink] I admit I don't look at pictures of prisoner abuse. I don't see the point, they are disturbing. I do belive that all the pictures are real. But when the pictures came out there where a lot of very upset people. It was a huge news story. But the reason the military and government guys where so angery was becuase of the pictures came out, not because of the abuse. Abuse like this has been going on by The CIA, and the Military for years. Tourture and humilation is how they get there information and how they hunt spies and terrorists. But pictures have never really leaked out and wound up on the news before. The pictures reflect the hipocrictical stance of the US. They say we don't tourture others they want the US people to think that we are the good guys and everyone else is evil. This is very true in biological weapons also. The US says one thing and then does the opposite. The US has been using terrorism and violance to inocent people in other countries for a long time. That is why so meny countries hate us. But if this information is out in the open then we the people start to question the government. I hope what I've said is clear. I'm not anti american at all. With it being september 11th we all need to remember what happend and form our own ideas of why. I think The US is responsible for what is has done overseas and the hate we have caused my have lead some people to fly planes into the towers in NY. Yes I understand that The Army has a tough Job, and that they are trying to show that this is what happens if you mess with us you lose it is not worth it to fight us, we will destroy you. But the problem is for everyone the Army kills they wind up causeing people over seas to get upset and some of those people will then become terorists. So the cycle continues. I admit I have no Idea how to stop the cycle my self, but i'm sure something can be done some day to stop it.

I will try to explain it better[inlink]paul,1907[/inlink] I'm using a libary computer. It has Widows professional not sure what year. It uses Internet explorer the one with that little blue e. I don't know the problem might be the libaries computer. I just clicked on me and maidencateyes names and our journals each came up for a second then the text disappeared and on the widow there is a journal but there is nothing there it is as if the text is gone. the screen is all green and everything else is there. It might not be the site because it only happend with two journals. I wish I had more info.
