I notice some blogs, are prone to being deleted, here, without notice. What are your thoughts on this? Is the famous "Freedom of Speech", (of which Americans are so mightily proud); in real danger?

Please discuss in the broader context of wider American society. Is this a sign of the times, that we are living in? Is America, inevitably, veering closer to China, in this respect?


The right to Free Speech, is more important, than the content of the speech.

- Voltaire

(Voltaire, by the way, was estimated to have an IQ of 190, and I'm willing to BET that nobody here, does (myself included). Therefore, having said that, maybe (just maybe), we should listen to, and study Voltaire?)

Well I assume its a good morning
Given the old adage that "U make an a** of ME"
I know some of you will think me a fool for assuming anything.
But again I must assume that this is simply your nature
it is in your nature to assume me as such for assuming it to be a good day.

So lets just leave it at that shall we !
I bid you adieu

Since google has let me down....
I'm bringing my question here with the hope of a simple straight forward answer, which seems to be so hard to get these days

When in court why are some trials kept private and at who's request?

I would like to share some of the things I've learned about posting on forums. I hope others can benefit from my experience.


It doesn’t matter how clearly and precisely you write, at least half the people who read it will misunderstand it.

It doesn’t matter how meaningless what you write is, there will always be someone who thinks they understand what you mean.

It doesn’t matter how stupid you think you have made yourself sound, someone will always respond to it positively and validate it.

It doesn’t matter how experienced you are at treading fine lines, they will always ban you when you are not expecting it.

I had a very unusual dream the other night:

I was a peasant or serf, or something like that, toiling away in the fields. Then the lady of the manor rode up on a big white horse and ordered me to strip naked. Well what could I -a mere serf- do but obey. So I striped; whereupon she commanded me to lay upon the ground, dismounted, and proceeded to spread me with butter. The lady of the manor then also striped off her clothes and started writhing about on top of me. That is when I awoke. Now, almost a week later, I still can’t make a sandwich without getting an erection.

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now,
a year from now.

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and
failing sight made eating difficult.. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. '
The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:
a rainy day,the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life.'
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.You need to be able to throw something back sometimes.
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you.
But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about.

This is to all of you who
mean something to me,
I pray for your happiness.
