I just heard on the radio that they have cancelled the WTO meetings later this month in DC but protest organizers are now saying that they are coming anyway to protest the military response to the terrorist attack. Estimates of 10-20 thousand protesters.

Washington is under control of the National Guard.

I doubt they'll allow them anywhere near any place significant.

why don't you and your friends make up some pro war and retaliation flyers and post them all over school right beside the little weenies' flyers

I agree with this advice. There are cells of socialists at every big college campus. They are active, but not the majority--at least not the majority at most campuses. Plaster them poster for poster, and take a couple of football players to whip their asses if they give you any static.

This must be a different Catholic religion than the one I was raised in. I think if you looked at Arlington or Normandy just the number of Irish Catholics alone would be astounding.

Are they really pacifists or unsure as yet who did this?

Well I'm applying that general term because the authors appear to advocate solely nonviolent means of dealing with terrorism, specifically (I assume) the recent attacks on NY, etc...

I say a prayer for all those of our brothers and sisters who lost their lives on Sept 11, 2001 and praise the efforts of all the great men and woman who tirelessly continue the search. The following are the words of Thomas Jefferson and seem all to fitting 226 years later "We fight not for glory or for conquest. We exhibit to mankind the remarkable spectacle of a people attacked by unprovoked enemies. In our own native land, in defence of the freedom that is our birthright, and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it - for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves, against violence actually offered, we have taken up arms. We shall lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, and all danger of their being renewed shall be removed, and not before."

I think we should introduce some of these pacifists to the rescue workers and family members of the casualities. It is easy to sit back in some liberal think tank and wish for peace. These people need a dose of reality.

Flipping through the channels last night I stopped to listen to a Roman Catholic nun speaking with a panel of 4 other Catholic leaders, taking calls about the terrorist attack and the accepted position of the church

that's not the position my Priest took at Mass yesterday. He stated that the attck on the WTC and Pentagon were acts of pure evil and that we are obligated to fight. He said that we were already at war and that this war was just and necessary!

The least reliable people (I'm truly sorry to say) to consult concerning the teaching anfd the position of the Roman Catholic Church are a bunch of American Nuns. Unless they were in full habit, including veil and whipple, I don't care what they had to say.

At my son's church youth group last night the pastor held a discussion of this weeks events. I gave him high marks for his discussion of good and evil and free will( I was surprised) but was highly disapointed in some of the kids remarks.

My son is 12, he understands what is going on, but some of the high school kids sounded like some of the lamebrains you hear on MTV. It's all our fault, War is evil, killing inocent people won't solve anything, it sounded like they got their talking points straight from some peacenik out fit, but more likely from high school teachers and MTV.

Haha, I hardly have time to sh$t these days...! Let alone drag my Republican a$$ all over campus with a friggin' staple gun. 'Sides, I think I'd be stapling by my lonesome on this one. Nobody likes to stick his neck out for conservative ideas around here-- physics departments are notoriously liberal...
So yeah, if I had some friends other than Naderites and vegans, I'd do that.

For right now, I think I'll content myself with taking out undergraduates in the crosswalks... [smoosh] Gotcha.

My husband is a WW II Vet and he says - "Fine, be a pacifist. I would like for you and all your like minded friends to move to Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran or Palistine and spread your pacifism there - you will be appreciated and Hell....you might even become a martyr!"

The Independent Media Center (www.indymedia.org), was established by various independent and alternative media organizations and activists

One organization is...

Paper Tiger TV (Who uses Tiger in names of their companies, etc?) is a half-hour public access tv show that has aired weekly since 1981 in Manhattan, San Francisco, and elsewhere. PTTV demystifies the information industry by investigating the corporate structures of media through critical analysis of their content. The project consists of over 100 producers, artists, and activists who work collaboratively. Paper Tiger has offered the media center help with distribution of video via the internet and cable tv, and technical and organizational advice and support. Several producers from PPTV plan to travel to Seattle to assist hands-on in the media center's daily functioning.
Contact: Michael Eisenmenger
Phone: (212)420-9045
E-mail: eisenmen@rci.rutgers.edu

His email leads to Rutgers Univ..

The Research Computing Initiative (RCI) is a cluster of systems that provides central computing services for faculty and staff of the New Brunswick campus.

"Your search FOR "Michael Eisenmenger" has yielded no matches." Please try again.

interesting that Michael Eisenmenger cannot be fond in their system. Maybe a "Guest"?

RUCS Guest Account Application/Renewal Form

Accounts on the Rutgers University Computing Services (RUCS) faculty/staff systems are reserved for faculty and staff who are affiliated with the University. Guest accounts are available for individuals who are conducting University business and are directly associated with the University, but are not officially on the University's payroll. A guest account can be requested by a full-time Rutgers faculty or staff member. This individual will be considered the University sponsor and will be expected to maintain contact with the guest. Annual renewal forms will be addressed to the sponsor. The signature of the sponsor's Dean, Director, or Department Chair on this form is required to authorize the appropriateness of the University guest account and the use of University resources for the guest's particular activity.

Guest accounts are intended to support the activities of Rutgers University. Guests are expected to use their Rutgers accounts only in support of their work with Rutgers, as described in their guest account application.

These people seem to be part of the WTO demonstrators, the environmentalists, etc. I like the "Guest accounts are intended to support the activities of Rutgers University"

the emotional impact of the death toll has yet to hit the average American. Once that does occur, you will see a real transformation, not this media-fed junk we're seeing now.

Well it better happen soon or we may have half of us trying to go kick some a$$ and the other half sending fricking care packages off to Afghanistan...

Yeah Cowgirl, that passive response has struck me as well... And this is by far not the first time-- seems like when anything hardcore goes down, the natural conserv gut reaction is "Blood for blood! FAIR JUDGMENT!" And the libs invariably condemn us for that.

But RETALIATION IS ONLY FAIR, people.

Who are they, at any rate, to say what's appropriate and what's not, if they haven't been affected like that man you heard talking to the panel... What unabidable gall.

The expression "violence never solved anything," is the most ridiculous statement about war ever repeated. Violence has solved a lot of BIG problems - and to the benefit of mankind.

We need a new solution for a new century.

These bubbleheads are always babbling about "new solutions," but they almost never actually propose anything coherent. And when they do, it's "new" only if you're a historical moron and never heard of Neville Chamberlain and Munich.

Let's show that America has learned something from Vietnam, from Libya, from Iraq, from Israel, and Afghanistan.

Oh, we have. We've learned that we don't want to be anything like any of those countries. (Although I'll give honorable mention to Israel.)

Keep yourself informed and inform Congress in turn.

Informed of what, exactly?

The only way we can prevent needless violence is through active protest.

What kind of "active protest" would have prevented the needless violence of September 11?

These people are a cancer on our society.
