Like it or not, abortion happens. I'm sad that it does, however, that is a reality for many women.

Anyway, everytime I get my paystub and see that "Federal Income Tax Withheld" block, I say to myself, 'yep, I support our troops'. I think that partially what that means is that to a certain extent we realize that the men & women who are sent into battle are just pawns and they should be held in higher esteem than the pawnbrokers who put them there. Also...someone please make sure I have this correct...when we discovered that the whole WMD thing was a lie and a scam, the talking point for defending our invasion was that Saddam was abusing & torturing Iraqis. Now we're over there abusing & torturing Iraqis. It just doesn't make much sense to me, but then again I'm a simple guy I guess.

In order to enable latecomers to the list or new traders have a chance of listening to Bob Muller's incredible compilation of covers of Joni's songs - some 1500 in all - this begins the launch of the Perpetual Joni Covers Trains. For those not familiar with trading trains, here is how they work. When the disks come to you, you make copies of as much of the contents as you want, and then you post back to this list offering to pass the disks along to the next person. You do not keep the originals -- you keep the copies you made for yourself. On most trains, the convention is that you make the copies and send the masters along within two days. For these trains, you must agree to turn them around within one week. Sometimes the offer goes unclaimed. Bob and I expect that to happen from time to time. So, by participating, you agree to just hang on to the disks and then make another offer a month or so later (or to respond if somebody posts a grovel looking for them). In theory, if everybody takes good care of the disks, wrapping them well, not letting them get scratched, etc. and passes them along, these covers will run on the tracks for years. Bob copied 50+ disks for me to launch this and I have copied them so there is a LOT of time sunk into offering these up. Nobody is going to monitor the progress of these trains so if you participate and then lose the disks or fail to reoffer them, you will have kept others from enjoying them. When you post an offer, please include these "rules". One final note, I know a few folks like to compress these into MP3s. If you want to, go ahead but please do not send MP3s to the next person - MP3s permanently delete some of the "data" and sound quality degrades so please pass the masters along. So, anybody who would like to receive volumes 41-50, please send me: 1. Your mailing address and 2. Your promise to reoffer, etc. If you want to know what is on the disks, please see this link: http://www.jmdl.com/covers/byvolume.cfm Enjoy and have a nice week, Eric ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 May 2004 23:11:48 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: 4 May 1970 Bob>I think that partially what that means is that to a certain extent we realize that the men & women who are sent into battle are just pawns and they should be held in higher esteem than the pawnbrokers who put them there.< I agree... Most of the people in iraq are very young... & they were lied to about why they were sent over there... This disgusting treatment of the pows & talk of the draft & raising the age to 34 for both men & women makes me wish I could wake up from this very bad dream... Here's a letter to the editor that jeff wrote concerning vietnam & iraq: >MAY 1, 2004 At the end of 1964 the US had been involved in the Vietnam conflict for 7 years and the draft had been in effect for at least three years. Total US deaths at the end of 1964 were 206. In 14 months of fighting in Iraq 768 have died; and according to Top Gun George, this war was over one year ago today. The Vietnam War heated up in 1965 as the first large contingents of draftees hit the ground. US losses totaled 1,900 lives by the end of that year. By all appearances, the Iraq conflict is heating up, not winding down. Is anyone doing the math?
