Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people, by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.

"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain 

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. 
The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
 Niels Bohr (1885-1962), physicist

"Beware the man of one book."  
 Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Theologian,  philosopher  

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: 
WOW - What a Ride!"

"Consciously or unconsciously we all strive to make the kind of a world we like." 
 Oliver Wendell Holmes 

"We Lakota have a close relationship to the buffalo. He is our brother. You can't understand about nature, about the feeling we have toward it, unless you understand how close we were to the buffalo. That animal was almost like a part of ourselves, part of our souls." Lame Deer, Lakota

Dear Abby; 

I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision.

I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.
The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them." I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my Harley Davidson Road King next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she comes home.

It was at that moment, crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that the rocker boxes on my engine seem to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

Thanks
Save money on trash bags by reusing plastic grocery bags. 
Use them in all your trash cans. To keep them from slipping down, affix a plastic, self-adhesive hook to both sides of the inside of the trash can. Hang the shopping bag from the hooks. This works great especially in bathroom or bedroom wastebaskets. Then just take it out and tie the two handles together. Wola! Nice and tidy.
An Ohio State University study finds that companionship helps wounds to heal faster. Skin wounds healed nearly twice as fast in hamsters paired with a sibling, reports the study published in Psychoneuroendocrinology. In addition, animals paired with a sibling also produced less of the stress hormone cortisol -- stress delays wound healing in humans and other animals. "The problem lies in how long it takes a wound to heal," says study leader Courtney DeVries. "This can spell trouble for diabetics and people who are otherwise immunocompromised, such as cancer or AIDS patients. But having a companion may help wounds heal faster during stressful times." 
Why spend money on expensive cleaners when all you need is a tube of toothpaste? Try it to: polish silver and gold, remove crayon marks from walls, remove ink spots from cloth, remove fruit punch "moustaches" from kids, deodorize smelly hands, remove scuffs from shoes, and fill holes in walls. 
GROUND BROKEN ON MASSIVE RESERVOIR TO RESTORE AMERICA'S EVERGLADES 
On Wednesday, I (Gov. Bush) also joined local, state and federal leaders to break ground on one of the most expansive reservoirs in the world as part of the massive effort to restore America's Everglades. When complete, the first component of the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir will cover 25 square miles and provide 190,000 acre-feet of water storage to better manage water released from Lake Okeechobee and to improve the timing and quality of water delivered to the famed River of Grass. The $400 million reservoir is the flagship project of the State's Acceler8 initiative to complete eight critical Everglades restoration projects ahead of schedule. Florida is keeping its promise to restore the River of Grass and protect this national treasure. By constructing this massive water storage system, we can better control water releases, restore wildlife habitat and protect the state's estuaries. Engineers will move close to 18 million cubic yards of earth to construct the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir on 16,700 acres of former farmland. Along with capturing runoff from agricultural areas, the reservoir will store freshwater releases from Lake Okeechobee to reduce harmful discharges to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries. The reservoir will also provide additional water to hydrate the Everglades, increase flood protection and allow water managers to capture and direct phosphorus-laden water to constructed wetlands for treatment.

Genteel Savannah sits inward of the Savannah River at the top of Georgia's 100-mile coast. Heading south, the seaside resorts of the Golden Isles blend Southern elegance with a casual sensibility. 

Savannah's beginning was February 12, 1733, when English general James Edward Oglethorpe and 120 colonists arrived at Yamacraw Bluff on the Savannah River to found the 13th and last colony in the New World. As the port city grew, people from England and Ireland, Scottish Highlanders, French Huguenots, Germans, Austrian Salzburgers, Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews, Moravians, Italians, Swiss, Welsh, and Greeks all arrived to create what could be called a rich gumbo. 

In 1793 Eli Whitney of Connecticut, who was tutoring on a plantation near Savannah, invented a mechanized means of "ginning" seeds from cotton bolls. Cotton soon became king, and Savannah, already a busy seaport, flourished under its reign. Waterfront warehouses were filled with "white gold," and brokers trading in the Savannah Cotton Exchange set world prices. The white gold brought in solid gold, and fine mansions were built in the prospering city.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administra- tion has approved the first treatment for drug-resistant human immunodeficiency viruses. The approval followed development by a Purdue University researcher of a molecule that resulted in the pill-based therapy. "There are many treatments for AIDS on the market, but none are able to com- bat drug resistance," said Arun Ghosh, a professor with a dual appointment in the departments of chemistry and molecular pharmacology. Ghosh's molecule, TMC-114 -- also known as Darunavir -- was approved for medical use and is expected to be available to physicians this year. Earlier research showed nearly half of HIV patients who initially respond to treatment develop drug-resistant strains and stop responding within eight to 10 months, he said. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first reported U.S. 
cases of AIDS, an HIV-caused disease that claims the lives of more than 15,000 Americans each year. The World Health Organization estimates more than 40 million people world- wide are infected with HIV. The research will be detailed in the Aug. 24 issue of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and is currently available at the journal's Web site.
