I enjoyed watching it but had to sadly realize that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Vietnam was another costly and horrible war and It just feels like the same thing happening all over again. I'm glad John spoke out and did what he did. A lot of people took encouragement from that.

But animia is uprising in me tonight. It's NOT politics. It's life and death and death and birth. It is a humanitarian crisis, that needs a political solution. I don't know if it was on your TV tonight, but please don't pass this sad music by. I don't mean to bring anyone down with this. We are all having fun with the you-tubes and Joni coming back and -- oh my!-- Stevie Wonder, too -- awesome news and thanks, Victor. My only channelled aspiration in posting tonight is to raise awareness, and hopefully some action. Please take whatever baby steps you feel comfortable with, and put September 15th on your Joni calendar. Send up prayers, money if you have it, good vibes, print out the posters and slap them around the dirty town as the children get out from the schools, whatever.... The children are our future. Alors, voila: Baghdad, Iraq: 6 million people, 117 degrees and no water By Richard Becker, Western Regional Coordinator, ANSWER Coalition Friday, August 3, 2007 A crime against humanity committed by the occupying power For the past 24 hours, Baghdad has had virtually no running water. Major parts of the city of six million people have lacked running water for six days, while daily high temperatures have ranged from 115 to 120 degrees. The tiny amount of water dripping through the pipes is causing many of those who must drink it to suffer acute intestinal illness. According to reports, not enough electricity is available to run Baghdads water pumps. This in a country with vast energy resources. Corporate media outletsto the extent they have reported this horrific and mind-boggling story at allhave treated it as a failure on the part of Iraqis. In reality, it is an appalling war crime committed by the occupying power, the U.S. military. It threatens the lives of tens of thousands of people in the short term and unthinkable numbers of people unless it is rectified immediately. The rest is here: http://www.pephost.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=8569&news_iv_ctrl=3361 I hope some of you will take a minute to read it, and as Aretha implores: THINK! It's horribly hot and humid in New England and in other parts of this marbled bowling ball these days, but just imagine being in Baghdad, that living hell, with blood running down the streets and no water and worse yet, no hope. Can we stand this for seventeen more months? I know I can't. Thank you for listening. Love & peace, Patti P., an "Ocelot Daemon, Myron: Sociable, modest, proud, assertive, softly spoken" -- thanks for the fun link, Garrett! _________________________________________________________________ Now you can see troublebefore he arrives http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_protection_0507 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 Aug 2007 04:28:09 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: NJC Dueling YouTubes, Carly, Joni, Our Gary Z wrote: You Tube is so cool - I keep finding things I didn't know existed. Here is one for Carly Simon fans, where she gives us a piano lesson and sings a bit of "You're So Vain." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xSnpeBcX-M Thanks for that, Gary! I do so love Carly, and it gave me flashbacks to my piano lessons as a child. Alas, I had no talent. But at least I tried! God bless Gertrude Schroeder for trying to help me. I think we paid her $2 for a half-hour lesson to nurture talent that just wasn't there, but I did learn a lot from her. Music, sweet music. At least I learned to fully appreciate Joni playing the piano. It's not as easy as it looks. And she will be playing it again. Wooo hooo!!! (NPIMH: Blue) I know what you mean: so many YouTubes, so little time! I got JMOCDed encore une fois (imaginez-vous!) when I heard Carly sing: "Clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee..." I'll spare you all and won't elaborate on the obvious here. Love and pleasant dreams and foggy lullabyes, Patti P. _________________________________________________________________ Find a local pizza place, movie theater, and more.then map the best route! http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&ss=yp.bars~yp.pizza~yp.movie%20theater&cp=42.358996~-71.056691&style=r&lvl=13&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=950607&encType=1&FORM=MGAC01 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 22:15:12 -0700 From: "Lori Fye" Subject: Re: njc, 117 degrees in Baghdad and no water > Can we stand this for seventeen more months? I know I can't. Patti, I don't mean to depress you or anyone else (least of all myself) even more, but I think it's going to be a lot longer than seventeen months. Just because Bush will be out of office doesn't mean that the war is magically going to end, regardless of who takes his place. And yes, the entire thing is a fucking tragedy. But we watch the news. We know it's happening, we know WHAT is happening (at least through the narrow eye of U.S. media), and yet just about all of us (myself included) DO stand it, every single day, as we drive our cars and drink our clean water and take at least one shower or bath just about every day. "We" aren't the ones who can't stand it for one more day or seventeen more months. It's those who are THERE fighting (for whatever reasons they fight) who can't stand it. The rest is all just words. Heartfelt they certainly are, but they're only words.
