IS IT MY WRITING OR YOUR READING?
I go away from BN for a few weeks, and I come back and my readership has gone. Yes, I know that some of those who enjoyed my writing the most have been banned, and as I study the present blogging network, there seems to have been quite a number of new people on board who do not know me, and the...

WE ARE LEARNING THAT WAR...
Is more than a video game. As the death toll continues to rise and as new revelations of the possible truce before the war ever began, come forth, we who are a part of this video society are beginning to realize very soberly and painfully that "WAR IS MORE THAN A VIDEO GAME" In this 21st Century, it...

TRICK OR TREAT - SADDAM HUSSEIN STYLE PART II
How was your Halloween? Mind was O.K., though I do not put a lot of stock into this holiday. My heart like yours is broken because of the trick that Hussein and Company pulled yesterday in Iraq. Yes, it was a few days after Halloween, and I am not sure that he even believes in such, but what a...

CLOSE O SO CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR AS THEY SAY
Both the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox should be in the World Series. Both played well enough to do so, except for a few mistakes that cost both of them dearly. Both have excellent managers, but both managers made one glaring mistake, leaving in their ace pithers too long, and it cost them, and...

This birthday congratulations is sent to you by a Protestant minister. I want to thank you for standing up for faith, hope and love in a world that increasingly day by day moves further away from this center of religious affection.

I SURE DO MISS THOSE WHO WERE BANNED LAST WEEK
I am not by nature or otherwise a whiner or complainer, but BN simply is not the same without Crabby, Willow and Ezwaystrait. There may be others coming who will fill their spot, but never anyone who can take their place. It is a shame that some writers lose their temper, or unwisely violate the...
