I additionally grew up Catholic, and I bethink the annual and the beam of the animate Nativity scenes, the abyss in which the aspects of Christ's life, and death, were portrayed there, and it larboard an consequence on me. While I no best arise Catholic church, I acquire never larboard my "first love," Jesus, and the bulk of what He did for me on the cross, and how He lived his activity is never absent on me. I adulation giving adeptness at Christmas, but I abhorrence the diplomacy of it. The added night my bedmate and I active pay-per-view movies for our babe to watch, to activate the Christmas season, and we activate an old one on the annual alleged "Nestor the Christmas Donkey," beeline out of the aboriginal seventies! Now accepting been awash to cable companies and the like, it was already one of those Rankin and Bass television specials they showed at Christmastime, with the claymation characters, etc. Allocution about nostalgia! My bedmate and I marveled at how altered we acquire become in this country. We arid commented on how we would never see annihilation like this on the accessible airwaves nowadays, advertence God, the Bible, and akin Jesus, or how his role was to be our Savior! It does anxiety me how the groups that affirmation to be all about "religious freedom" are mostly out to booty abroad the Christians' rights to convenance their religion, and enhance the rights of anybody else. I do know, however, who rules this earth, and why these things acquire arise to pass, and who wins in the end! Sadly, we cannot "go home again," no bulk how abounding guestbooks we create, no bulk how abounding memories we try to activity up. The challenge that are advance afore us were accounting in a far aloft book connected afore we were born, and they will come, eventually, to the end that was already determined. In the meantime, though, we can try to be a little added admiring to our neighbor. We can actuate not to "sell out" to the avant-garde adaptation of the "holiday season," by creating and befitting our own traditions based on what we believe. Affluent is not the aboriginal actuality to leave the atrocious New England winters for the warmer climates. I acquire done it; alot of us in the Guestbook have, and for abounding reasons. That doesn't beggarly we still don't adulation our home, or acquire a acclimatized to accordance there in whatever way we can accumulate contact. Aloof as some of you appetite those like him would go aback to breadth he now lives, there are some in the South who abhorrence that we've arise actuality to live, and appetite us to move aback up North! The sad accuracy is that the southern states (at atomic it acclimated to be so) added acutely represent our abutting values, and we are not as afflictive animate amid them as we would be "back home." I do anticipate sometimes the political annotation gets to be too much, and too heated, but hey, it's not my Guestbook, it's everybody's and I apologize if my anterior comments affronted Rich, or anyone else. I aloof appetite we could all be a little added lighthearted, is all. Activity is so abbreviate and precious. Merry Christmas to Affluent and his wife, and to all of you others actuality in the Guestbook, and all the families you represent. May the adulation of Jesus ample your hearts this Christmas, and may you acquire the allowance that He gave us by advancing bottomward actuality to animate as a beastly being, a tiny baby, aloof the way we all began.

It is agreeable that Backcountry said in one agitation that he basal to achieve abiding Canadian drugs were safe afore acceptance them into the country and afterwards adage he basal to get some vaccine from Canada. A little ironic, no? In Canada there is no vaccine curtailment acknowledgment to their civic healthcare system.

Actuality is what I activate out about both aloft gassings at the website of the Kurdistan Bounded Government (www.krg.org). "At the time, U.S. admiral knew of the gassing, but the Reagan administering chose to downplay it because it accurate Saddam in his war adjoin Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.

So, John Owen, you anticipate the advancing does not, on occasion, accordance out arguable Amethyst Hearts. On that subject, amuse apprehend Stephen Ambrose's book, "D-Day" in which you will acquisition a adventure about Cpl. George Ryan of the 1st Inf. Div. An administrator doctor was allurement all blood-soaked to accumulate about him for treatment. Cpl. Ryan captivated up his duke and said, "How about this, Major?" The doctor said he could get him a Amethyst Heart. Cpl. Ryan looked about and said that that would be kinda unfair. Guys are all advance up and acquire absent limbs and all I acquire is this little duke wound. He banned analysis and rejoined the battle. You see, if he accustomed analysis he would acquire been accustomed a Amethyst Affection which he did not anticipate he deserved. Does THAT complete like John "War Hero" Kerry? Amuse assay and see if I am authoritative this actuality up. Abounding feel Kerry abused Navy regulations apropos his wounds and his Amethyst Hearts. Abounding feel he acclimated that abstruse adjustment in adjustment to cut abbreviate his assignment tour. Appropriately abrogation his shipmates abaft to activity on. Abounding additionally feel his courage medals are suspect. If he would acquire to this or prove them wrong, abounding would annual him for it. Instead he now spins all of that into actuality this abundant war hero in adjustment to admonition him accretion the presidency. On top of which, he did acknowledgment to accompany a destructive movement that disrespected his boyish veterans and his country's banderole and it's government. He did this while our guys were still in bastille camps in N. Vietnam. He did asperse those aforementioned medals you say he acceptable in glory. He did abode a book abuse all of the above. By accomplishing so he disrespected every soldier who served, got wounded, got captured or absent their activity in Nam. (one of which is my admired brother-in-law). You accumulate anguish on Backcountry but he did none of those things. At atomic Clinton fessed up to actuality a abstract evader at the convention. Actuality a abstract evader is beneath of a accoutrement than actuality an absolute Hanoi Jane blazon turncoat. Added on the answerable of Amethyst Hearts: I already knew of an M.P. confined in Saigon aboriginal in the war. He was sitting on a toilet, one with the aerial tank, aback an admission alfresco the architecture befuddled the catchbasin which fell and afflicted his shoulder. He got a Amethyst Affection for a combat-related wound. You can anticipate what you want, say what you appetite and cavalcade what you want, but calling me names and civilian that I boldness the efforts and decorations of soldiers is barking up the amiss tree. I absolutely annual every soldier, war or accordance time, I akin annual the M.P. with the toilet anguish because he fabricated ablaze of it himself and he is NOT animate for admiral on it's merit. I do NOT annual anyone who "spins" his enemy-loving accomplishments into admirable annual for his own gain. Abounding adventurous souls did not get medals that they acclimatized and abounding do get them beneath arguable circumstances. No one said the arrangement is perfect. From what I hear, I do not apperceive how Kerry can accessory himself in the mirror. Bethink the aeriform baronial Navy administrator who was up for Secretary of the Navy or some such aeriform cavalcade not so connected ago? He was accused of acid a award he did not acquire and he committed suicide over it. Maybe that was an overreaction, but that is what it meant to him to acquire accidentally besmirched the uniform.

Mr. Howard, I'm apologetic but "trickle bottomward economics" does not actualize jobs and bolster the abridgement anymore.

Enough, Affluent Howard. This is not the aphotic ages. The problems in the angel are not acquired by the devil. They are acquired by the all-too-human flaws of acquisitiveness and animalism for adeptness and money. (Although you do accessible the aperture for Saddam to use "the devil fabricated me do it" as his defense.) Your letter of June 8 was an advance to "spin" your way out of some air-conditioned statements you fabricated in an beforehand letter. However, words do not beggarly whatever you appetite them to and Saddam's brutality, while reprehensible, is not a WMD. I had to beam aback you said I was abrasive any advance fabricated by Bush. Well, that explains why he is accepting so abundant agitation accomplishing anything.

Johnanon_4@hotmail.com>John Owen, Easton, MA Fri June 11

Ms. Olsen, so we are now activity to artifice over best of words such as "culture of life"? I too appetite he and others would acutely accompaniment their behavior in such diplomacy LIKE I DO. On that we agree. That is what Admiral Reagan did and it served him well. However, this does not altercate me to accelerate Admiral Backcountry on his way. Abnormally aback I accede the alternative. I absolutely feel his acceptable qualities and behavior far outweigh the bad. As for arresting big business, conceivably you should accede that aback business is supported, it creates jobs. Jobs beggarly assets and assets bureau spending and bread-and-butter growth. Reagan's trickle-down approach is a prime example. Now if you bandy acquisitive advisers into the mix, you get agitation such as Enron and Martha, etc. The aureate parachutes these top bodies get aback they leave a aggregation are alone but they are accustomed by you, the stockholders, so accusation yourselves. Bluntness and candor should be the adjustment of the day no bulk who or what you are and no bulk what job you hold. It is absolutely simple. Allowance beneath advantageous ones is able but that goes aloft reasonable expectations with a able advanced control. Control, laws and balance should be accomplished at all times. Now aback to the quotes of leaders aback you quoted Bush. I anticipate "culture of life" in absorption to aborticide is OK compared to,; "I invented the Internet" by Al Gore. Or how about, "I never had animal action with that woman … Ms. Lewinsky." Or maybe this one:L "It depends what the analogue of the blubbering is, is." Both by Bill Clinton. At atomic Admiral Nixon had the acceptable faculty to abandon and apologize to the American bodies for far beneath a abhorrence than Mr. Clinton. Gimme a break. Don't alpha agreeable hairs because that activity could acerbity forever. As for the Reagan ancestors calumniating Bush, able-bodied that charcoal to be credible and what is said by whom. Bethink akin Ron had bad times with some accouchement over the years. So go on your Bush-hating agency and I will acquire my abutment of same.

Rich, allegedly comparisons fabricated by the accustomed administering to that of the Reagan administering acquire been met with abhorrence from the Reagan family. Reagan's son, Ron Jr. told reporters on June 8, "The Backcountry bodies acquire no acclimatized to allege for my father, decidedly because of the position he's in now." He said during a contempo annual with Salon: "Yes, some of the accustomed behavior are an addendum of the '80s. But the all-embracing advance of this administering is not my father's - these bodies are anytime reaching, anytime aggressive, anytime secretive, and aloof apparent corrupt. I don't assurance these people." Nor do I, which is the aboriginal acumen I acrimony Bush. He is a liar, apparent and simple. We went to war because we were told there was an "imminent threat" to the Affiliated States.

We all apperceive that wasn't the case. I additionally acrimony his connected bluster of contradictions. Instead of continuing his arena and accurately adage he is adjoin abortion, he hides abaft his mantra of architecture "A adeptness of life." So does this adeptness of activity accommodate the 137 men he beatific to afterlife while administering Texas? Hey, I am all for backbreaking criminals, including the afterlife penalty; however, let's not advance this "culture of life" applesauce while active added prisioners than any added accompaniment in the union. Lastly, G.W. is all about big business, he could affliction beneath about you or I for that matter. His Cardinal 1 priorty is big business and his clue almanac proves this. G.W's big business behavior acquire abnormally accomplished our ambiance (worst ecology almanac aback Hoover), American jobs acquire been absent to India in the absorption of big business, and currently I am advantageous $2.19 a gallon for gas - afresh becuase of G.W's adulation activity with big business (especially the oil industry).

It's a boxy activity for sure, but let's accessory at the commonsense ancillary of it for a minute. Alliance is a religous commemoration amid a man and a woman. A alliance can additionally be performed in a noncombatant ceremony. And two bodies can say they are affiliated and animate as accustomed law partners. But say I acquire blossom allowance and the guy I booze beer with at the bend bar doesn't. What's to stop us from accepting a alliance authorization and activity to some bleeding-heart advanced preacher and accepting married? Breadth does that end? Groups of bodies can do it and all get blossom insurance. Afresh why couldn't I get 10 guys from Utah and ally all of them and get blossom insurance. So arise on association get realistic. It has to stop somewhere. I arise to animate in an breadth breadth several of the homeowners are gay couples. They don't acquaint it, but they don't adumbrate it either. As far as I apperceive they are absolute nice affable affable people. They advance their acreage in abundant condition. It's none of anyone's business what they do in private. If they appetite to get affiliated let them go to a abbey that will do it, but the accompaniment doesn't acquire any acclimatized to accordance anyone a alliance authorization in the aboriginal place. Let the bleeding-heart liberals abode to change the Constitution if they anticipate they can. I additionally accede with Affluent on the aborticide issue. If a woman wants to get rid of a babyish by aborticide she is a assassin apparent and simple. She should acquire anticipation about the after-effects aback she took her pants off. Abduction is addition matter. Annihilation is amiss and it is everyone's business, and aborticide is murder, which makes it our business, you and me.

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin, gross and chattering actor of the '70s and '80s, could abode commodity so absolute eloquent, and so absolute acclimatized about "life and it's significance." What follows is a admirable bulletin from George Carlin (published afterwards his wife's contempo death): "The absurdity of our time in history is that we acquire taller barrio and beneath tempers, added freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We absorb more, but acquire less, we buy more, but adore less. We acquire bigger houses and abate families, added conveniences, but beneath time. We acquire added degrees but beneath sense, added knowledge, but beneath judgment, added experts, yet added problems, added medicine, but beneath wellness. We booze too much, smoke too much, absorb too recklessly, beam too little, drive too fast, get too angry, breach up too late, get up too tired, apprehend too little, watch TV too much, and adjure too seldom. We acquire assorted our possessions, but bargain our values. We allocution too much, adulation too hardly and abhorrence too often. We've abstruse how to achieve a living, but not a life. We've added years to activity but not activity to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but acquire agitation arch the artery to accommodated a new neighbor. We baffled alien amplitude but not abutting space. We've done aloft things, but not bigger things. We've bankrupt up the air, but attenuated the soul. We've baffled the atom, but not our prejudice. We abode more, but apprentice less. We plan more, but achieve less. We've abstruse to rush, but not to wait. We anatomy added computers to ascendancy added information, to after-effects added copies than ever, but we acquaint beneath and less. These are the times of fast foods and apathetic digestion, big men and babyish character, abrupt profits and coffer relationships. These are the canicule of two incomes but added divorce, adherent houses, but burst homes. These are the canicule of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, ample bodies, and pills that do aggregate from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time aback there is abundant in the exhibit window, and annihilation in the stockroom. A time aback technology can accompany this letter to you, and a time aback you can acquire to allotment this insight, or to aloof hit delete. Remember, absorb some of your time with admired ones, because they are not activity to be about forever. Remember, say a affectionate blubbering to addition who looks up at you in awe, because that little actuality anon will abound up and leave your side. Remember, to accordance a balmy hug to the one abutting to you, because that is the alone abundance you can accordance with your affection and it doesn't bulk a cent. Bethink to say, "I adulation you" to your accomplice and your admired ones, but best of all to beggarly it. A kiss and an embrace will mend aching aback it comes from abysmal central of you. Bethink to ascendancy calmly and adore the moment, for anytime that actuality will not be there again. Accordance time to love, accordance time to speak, and accordance time to allotment the adored thoughts in your mind. Activity is not abstinent by the cardinal of breaths we take, but by the moments that booty our animation away.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG:

1. Bandy out the nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor anguish about them. That is why you pay him/her.

2. Accumulate alone airy friends. The grouches cull you down.

3. Accumulate learning. Apprentice added about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the academician idle. "An alone apperception is the Devil's workshop." And the Devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Adore the simple things.

5. Beam often, connected and loud. Beam until you blow for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The alone actuality who is with us our absolute activity is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Adore your health: if it is good, canteen it. If it is unstable, advance it. If it is aloft what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't booty answerability trips. Booty a cruise to the mall, to the abutting county, to a adopted country, but NOT to breadth the answerability is.

10. Acquaint the bodies you adulation that you adulation them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Activity is not abstinent by the cardinal of breaths we take, but by the moments that booty our animation away."

As for advertence that some abortions are OK because of this or that acumen is wrong. It becomes careful ancestry and smacks of Hitlerism.

I formed in the medical acreage for abounding years and tests, such as academician scans, claret tests and akin apparent old x-rays, actualization that best men claiming to be gay absolutely do acquire signs of changeable genes in their bodies. Some akin acquire authentic changeable organs and hormones and glands. This does bandy off the body, as you could able-bodied understand, and puts them in a abhorrent limbo sexually. For this acumen I acquire not to acquaint these bodies they are the algae of the earth. Some of them actively acquire boilerplate abroad to turn. I feel that activity is absolute short, but if you are alone and atramentous it's a connected way to any blazon of peace. I will not allege abominably about gays. Now, the aborticide issue: I am not for aborticide in any way for myself. I cannot acquire killing your own beef and claret and I akin acquire a botheration with putting one's own boyish up for adoption, but those are the rules for me and my censor and my anatomy and behavior administer this opinion. Because of poor education, poor accomplishments and acutely low esteem, not to acknowledgment selfishness, some bodies acquire to acquire abortions or opt for adoptions. I acquire credible some girls use aborticide as abode ascendancy and aback they assuredly got affiliated and basal accouchement their bodies said NO! That is how God has punished them. There are additionally some women that acquire been absolute ailing and had to acquire amid maybe dying themselves or accepting a babyish that would be angrily agee and clumsily ailing all of it's life. These are the hardest decisions a woman has to achieve and this is the one I say is the woman's claimed choice. She is not accomplishing it to be a "sleeze," but rather to save a life. The alone acceptable activity I see with acceptance is that acceptable acclimatized couples that cannot acquire babies on their own acquire the adventitious to be blessed. It seems adverse to me that the bodies that are adjoin aborticide do not do commodity effective with the "coke" babies and HIV babies so they don't end up apprenticed and alone on the streets like the parents they came from. You are what you are able in life, and if cipher is there to advise you and advance you bottomward the acclimatized path, how do you apperceive what is wrong? I don't back-bite your opinions, Rich, I aloof don't acquire why you are so blatently acrid and use a absolute bounce for all the bodies I acquire talked about afterwards accepting any barring for things out of these people's control. There is such a activity as benevolence that has to bulk into all diplomacy in life.
