this article and letter reminded me of the futility and waste that has been wrought from this bogus war on terror. It's a waste of human life and it's all because of lies and the ones who fell for it. My heart goes out to his family and I hope their life is not harder because her husband died in vain.

What a horrible day and a good day yesterday. It hopefully will never happen to me again. Earlier in the afternoon we found out my wife had a miscarriage.

So I made a ...

My wife and I decided to home school our children. We've been at it for at least a year and a bit and the benefits are worth the time and effort. Lots of people say it screws the kid up if he doesn't interact with kids in a school. Well for us that argument is moot since my kids still see and interact with other kids many times each week.
