The final questions of the session were: “How would you feel if Hillary [Clinton] bombed Iran? How would you feel if George Bush bombed Iran? And how would you feel if Israel bombed Iran?” Neither the firm involved, Martin Focus Groups, nor Freedom’s Watch would confirm that the organization funded the focus group. But focus group participants were handed a flier with a Freedom’s Watch logo, and the group has advocated for confronting Iran, organizing forums on the “threat” posed by the country, and running ads calling the Iranian president a “terrorist.”

Does this mean Hillary is definitely in on attacking Iran?

Do we dare parse words from the Right or should we just toss it in the trash?

The mission of the John Templeton Foundation is to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery in areas engaging life’s biggest questions. These questions range from explorations into the laws of nature and the universe to questions on the nature of love, gratitude, forgiveness, and creativity.

I guess that love etc. applies when you are talking about judeo-christian culture and that blowing away muslim countries we don’t like is fair game.

sharing and caring’s a good starting place

First, I’d like to thank you all (and anyone I might have missed) for your responses. I have had about 5 phone calls re:the Thanksgiving dinner that I am having and have been away from FDL for quite some time.

I have heard there is no way to get your name off the list, but my congress person has helped some people I know, to not have to go through much worse than I.
Also, the day before I flew out (and I have really done nothing more than comment on this and other blogs – not even greatly at that – attend anti-war demonstrations, sign petitions, donate some dollars to candidates,and write a few emails to congress and the WH) the we learned via the news that more than 775,000 names are now on the watch list. I imagine that is why the security agent said what she did. I don’t think it is humorous. I think this is a dangerous time to be against authority. And I don’t know quite what to do about it. So except to speak with my congresswoman, I am at a loss.

I think we need to do something, but I don’t know what. And I plan to continue holding my same values and giving voice where I can. Other than that – and watching “V” and “1984″ and reading FDL and some other blogs for intelligent information and thoughts, I remain at a loss.

PW,

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for all you do.

Thanks, Jonathan. How are you?

Absolutely totally OT…I am a sometime poster; know some of you from the auction that didn’t happen. I am posting a remembrance of my brother, who died on Sunday. I want to share it with the FDL community because you are family for me. Even though I almost never post, I read every day and you have all given me hope and affirmation and I feel that my brother’s exceptional life should be remembered, in whatever way I can muster.

Thanks, Jane and Christy and Marcy and all the other posters who have given me hope and love in these desperate times.

I ask for a toast for my brother, an exceptional person, loved by all.

You got it, Again!

Methane digesters were utilized by Germany before the 2nd world war, as embargos and blockades forced her into autarky. The same circumstances gave rise to Buna (synthetic) rubber. When push comes to shove, you come up with solutions that might not have occurred to anyone in happier imperial times.

Now they’re especially useful, both as a way to provide energy and as a means of keeping a greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere.
