Lawmaker hints at long stay in Georgia, despite cease-fire - CNN.com

it's not being reported very much, but Georgia STARTED THIS stuff by invading the territory and killing thousands of people. I don't think Russia is any more or less justified in stepping in than the US was for stepping in in Iraq. (which, yeah, i DON'T think they were justified, but they got no business criticizing Russia for doing what they did, either)

Vegan Insomnia - B12 Solipsism
Disliked it Aug 18, 5:08am 4 reviews vegetarian, vegan
http://www.b12partners.net/mt/archives/2004/12/vegan-insomnia.html
the reason it's not funny, is because it's just another cliche example of the hyper-focus on vegan diet - as if that is all there is to these PEOPLE, just the diet. oh, it's a vegan, it eats tofu...not a person, not a human being with a life and dreams and a personality. just a vegan. it gets old.

interesting. i grew up in LA and FL, and I always referred to a carbonated drink as "Coke", as did everyone else as I recall. But when I moved up "north" to South Carolina, most people called it "soda". Pop seems to be the word my inlaws, who are midwestern, use for it.

absolutely idiotic. as if we choose partners based entirely upon instinct, and only based upon genetic factors. this should appeal to the radical conservatives that are trying to have birth control classed as abortives.

makes a very good point. whenever my daughter goes out for a bike ride, i tell her "Remember - you are basically invisible to the cars out there." and it's true.
