Lili's Quick Polynesian Summary
The group of islanders that we will be visiting are collectively known as Polynesians. Many believe that the Polynesians first came to their respective islands from Southeast Asia. Also, many historians believe that there is a distinct possibility that Native Americans and Polynesians are related. One group, Native Americans, traveled by land through the Bering Strait. The Polynesians set course on the high seas. Both groups are thought to have originated from the same place. The Polynesian people comprise six groups: Maori, Samoan, Fijian (some do not consider them an actual member of the group), Tahitians, Tongans, and Hawaiians. Throughout their storied history, Polynesians have kept the traditions of the "old island" with the blend of modern living. Their ability to blend both lifestyles has allowed for more opportunities and holding on to traditions that have been passed down through the generations. Please join us today in learning more about them. Also, come with us to enjoy the many activities and locations that they have shared with the world. Enjoy yourself!

To: MoJo2001
Hugs back to you MoJo.
I keep thinking that I am going to see the 2LT Rjr in one of these collages.
My favorite one so far was the one that Sam posted with the Troops receiving their mail.
I cannot express in words how much that meant to me.

To: MoJo2001
Hi Sweetie!!!
Great job as always!
How be ya??
To: Radix
I loved one of our soldier's smelling his wife's perfume. That really just made the my monitor misty. Silly computer monitor. Shouldn't cry so much, huh?
2LT Rjr will show up and then we'll all see what a handsome and fine man he is. Then we can see all the women drool over him. Although, the Goddess, Ma and I will have something to say about them. (Oh! Of course, being that you were partly responsible for his existence..you'd have a say..LOL)
To: bentfeather

I'd be happy to go into Zimbabwe, if I thought we could do any good and if I thought it was "our fight."
The Zimbabwans, the whites and the blacks, did this to themselves. My favorite article was from a white, socialist female who had been tossed off her farm by Kim Il Bob's bully boys. The whole tone was "but I'm on _your_ side." And she got what she deserved.
There's a saying in south florida: Will the last American out bring the flag.
I don't agree with that, but I think that all the whites ought to just leave and let the blacks fight it out. Sure, it's their home, but better to make a new one than be dead and Africa is nothing, at this point, but a great example of what's wrong with the world and who makes it that way.
And an example that's not even strategically challenging.
