red paper poppies worn on Rememberance Day to honor the fallen in WWI. refer to the poem “Flanders Fields”. Hence, the burning of the “poppies” is a great insult to Brits who still see honour in remembering the sacrifices of their military countrymen. Old ways and traditions: not politically correct, don’t cha know?
Respectfully, re-posts are often the only way I and others become aware of a news story or article. Sometimes, the more recent post may be from another source and contain better or different aspects.

So there I was in the middle of our 26 acres of woods and hills cleaning the rain troughs and washing the soffits, etc. And since it was 90+ degrees, sunny, and I’m somewhat of a “naturist”; I thought I’d get a dose of maximum vitamin “D”. Rush L on the radio, myself on 8ft step-ladder, dogs asleep on porch...when a vehicle quietly appeared at the bottom of the hill in the drive. Dogs didn’t alert since it was a Prius, no noise...
We used to audit our playlist quarterly for BMI and ASCAP for which the station paid a fee from that the music owners were paid royalties. Must admit that was 30+ years ago. Has that changed?
way too late for me to cite source, however, I believe that I recall mr. oboma saying, at least once: “...we need a new declaration of independance...” and that the: “...constitution should be applied in a manner more consistant with today’s needs...”.
Dear Admin: I know rules are rules are rules, however the source for a “duplicate post” oftentimes is different with additional info or a differing perspective. Since a “first post” quickly scrolls off the bottom of the page, those of us who may look in late in the day may miss a thread of potential interest along with it's integral following reply posts. Just my 2 cents or whatever the current copper salvage value may be.
Your point is well taken and I share your disgust. However, there are certain protocols and conventions that need to be adhered to. The "Perp" and "Vice-Perp" would be excellent targets for those who wish the U.S. ill. And can you imagine the fawning lib press wails if GWB initiated "hot missions" while these high profile two were "out of border"?

On the brighter side: with the Ex-pres within the borders, VP Cheney separated safely, assuming Ex-vp Gore soon to be within the borders, and the INTEL agencies clamming-up...maybe we are about to see some action?
