Yep, the end of those long, hot, lazy days of summer are upon us. For me growing up, it marked the end of Summer Vacation (we NEVER went back to school before labor day... Nah- nah to all of the kids who have already spent a week or two in school). The family would almost always go somewhere (usually close to home)... maybe camping or in a lakefront cottage, but away we would go! One last long weekend just packed with fun summer type things to do. Swimming, fishing, spending the evenings around a campfire... those weekends always went by too fast. A few stand out, like the one that came with a torrential storm that we found ourselves sleeping in a couple of inches of water |
i... lots of laughs now but probably not so funny then, especially for the adults. And before you knew it they were gone and back to school we went. At least we knew it wouldn't be too bad, after fall is the “funny season” with all kinds of stuff to look forward to... Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years not to mention a couple of birthdays thrown in for good measure.... fall did have plenty to look forward to and so I look back longingly at the beach and with all the parties and holidays in the near future. Not to mention the cool crisp days of fall. Oh, yea, its been one long hot summer!

I consider myself generally speaking, a tolerant person, but the proposed plans to build a Muslim Mosque next to Ground Zero are just not right. One, it is highly insensitive of these Muslims to put a Mosque there. Every time somebody sees the site, they will see where the twin towers stood and there, next to it a building built by the very religion who's radical members are responsible for all this death and suffering. Secondly this is a huge financial undertaking... I ask, just where are the hundreds of millions of dollars coming from? When the average Muslim around the world lives in abject poverty shouldn't a religious group be spending its money taking care of its own |
i house instead of flaunting itself in front of the “infidels” as they refer to us as? This should not, cannot be allowed to do so!
Too many people have died at their hand to allow them to proceed with this blasphemy! Their proceeding with this can only inflame relationships.
