I'm not even going to try to post this as a single document this time. My mother's driving me nuts! She's such a die hard dem...all through dinner I got the "we shouldn't be in Iraq or at war anywhere until we fix our problems at home" lecture...riiiight. I don't bother arguing back, but was so glad when she finally went to bed...I love her dearly but there's only so much of her I can take at a time. Anyway, I put Tom Petty's Playback in the CD player and went to work...that's why the referrences to his songs.

TIMELINE CHAPTER 1 - ALL THE WRONG REASONS

Where the sky begins the horizon ends
Despite the best intentions
And a big old man goes up for sale
He becomes his own invention

The days go slow, into the changing season
Bought and sold for all the wrong reasons
Down they go for all the wrong reasons

Andy diagnosed with 'Hepatitis A' (bedrest for 6 weeks) Feb-11-05 12:51 PM

greatauntoftriplets: Andy was diagnosed with infectious hepatitis on Wednesday. He is extremely sick and has been ordered to six weeks bed rest. Right now, his state of mind is extremely low -- as is to be expected.

This means that he is unable to work for the next six weeks -- and with the large sum of money that BBV owes him still unpaid -- that he is in serious financial straits. The bottom line is: Andy needs our help.

If you can, please visit PayPal at www.paypal.com and make a donation to Andy_Stephenson@comcast.net .

Thanks to all of Andy's friends.

Andy Stephenson, Anti-BBV Activist Seriously Ill
Word has reached us that Andy Stephenson went into the hospital in Seattle this morning for extensive tests of his liver function. It was initially thought that he had Hepatitus, and while that has since been ruled out, he is still quite ill and in dire financial straights.

Whatever you can spare will be greatly appreciated by Andy, of this I am certain. He worked very hard on this issue and like MANY others he was treated VERY shabbily by the folks he worked with for his efforts. http://www.blackboxvoting.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=347
