stirring up a hornet's nest may be needed on this isssue. the solution is in plain sight, yet nobody wants to bring it out into open discussion. it's about time somebody did.

mebbe Seannyboy will pick up on it, and some serious dialogue will be forthcomming.

[Gabz]

You're silly.

BTW - I think the last sentence of your article about sums up the situation.

[xsmommy]

can you post it for camle? i have never posted a THING except for WFTD and only with a lot of handholding!

[camle]

very astute of you, and very kind of you to have taken the time to read the whole thing.

No, considering the careful planning that obviously (to anyone that looks closely enough) went into creating this disturbance, then His jumping in the middle to leave the nine morons holding the bag, makes one wonder if that particular act of sabotage was not part of the idea all along.

My hesitation for posting it is because of my concern that my name as the poster may do more damage than good because of numerous arguments I have gotten into regarding organ donation in relation to smoking.

There is a large contingent of anti-smokers (including doctors) who believe smokers should be denied organ transplants and their organs should be refused for donation.

I would not want one of my issues to overshadow the points of camle's article.

Camle, why don't you post it yourself? Nobody has to know it's your work.

True, the incestuous nature of politics(a more delicate way of phrasing what clinton does to his party or anyone who gets in his way to a camera) is nothing new.

[Conspiracy Guy]

[Conspiracy Guy]

[Gabz]

Let's leave the bird out of it, ok????

[Conspiracy Guy]

I could tutor him for GED.

[secret garden]

Okay, I'll ask. What were your impressions when Mickey Mantle and David Crosby received organ donations?

[Gabz]

I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!!!!!

Not one single mention of tobacco - I can't believe it.

Marijuana common for Del. teens

[Conspiracy Guy]

Smoked Ham?

Oh good, he's not perfect. You know what they say - stuff happens. As long as he doesn't make a habit of it, he's still doing extremely well. :-)

Sounds like Ted Kennedy when giving a speech; he always sounds PIXILATED.

Oh ****. I just used the words "Ted" and "Kennedy" in the same sentence. Look what I did.
