Buy this year's calendar and be prepared to answer a question I pose about something in my picture. Then I'll tell you if I'm going to be in next year's calendar.

Looks like you have another secret admirer, Carol. Another glorious victory for socialism! :-) "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." (heh! heh!)

Any word on the Anthrax in Florida at the National Enquirer building? I think it was either Tom Cruise, Michelle Pfeiffer, or a passing Alien Starship.

Nah. But EVERY SINGLE NEWS STORY I've seen or heard about it starts off with "possible terrorist bioterrorism attack" and winds the hysteria engine up a notch or three, and then at the end mentions "despite hundreds of man hours on the case the FBI still has no links to establish this as a terrorist attack."

Gotta keep them war drums beating! Can't risk losing the general public back into their weekly WWF fix.

The Modern Samurai Mindset makes a Samurai. Service to society. Courage--the courage to take responsibility for ALL of your actions, for ALL of your statements. Living each day as if it might be your last--it very well might be. Awareness--being alert to your surroundings, relaxed but vigilant. The sensitivity to acknowledge the beauty, the sorrow, the humorous in the sights and events you encounter every day. The bravery to move, to act, to respond instantly in an emergency without hesitation, without worrying about the opinions of others, if you sincerely believe that this is what needs to be done. Striving constantly to improve, to better yourself so that you will make a positive difference in your little corner of the world. Knowing how to die with calm resolve because you die "defending the right and the good. Author unknown

"Israeli sources said the [Palestinian Authority] has asked the Jewish state for riot control systems. The sources said Israel has not responded to the request."

Sorry, I,Hurricane, I know you are making a point, but I'm not sure what it is. Are you posting that as a piece of news, or criticizing Israel because they have not provided what the Palestinians requested?

Just as news. I know most people are tracking events "as it happens," for the most part, and that such news items may be unnecessary. (Never mind that we're getting distilled and probably distorted news.) But that article struck me as rather important as it describes the current unrest on the West Bank and in the Gaza strip as the worst ever (other say the worst "in years.") Nothing could be more advantageous to Al Qeda than a firestorm in Israel. I would expect them to use their best efforts to draw an Israeli reaction. Arafat is in the hot seat, big time.

One could wonder whether Israel needs to be criticzed for failing to provide assistance, but (a) that would be preceived by the unrestful Palestinians as provocation and a "reaction; and (b) the sources weren't cited, anyway.

If anyone is getting good breaking news other than the standard AP; Reuters; BBC and CNN routes, it would be nice to know about them.

It is sad news hurricane, I think the point of the article is that the PA has had to ask Israel for help. It opens the question of whether they will respond. But they obviously haven't yet. It looks like a bad situation. Civil disobedience, troops killing students. Pray for peace.

I'd like to see Israel respond positively to the request, myself. I think it would be a step forward.

I'm not convinced that Israel would be better off without Arafat. His successor might be a whole lot worse.

There is debate and caution in Israel regarding the request for riot control gear. Many cite Israel's honoring the Oslo agreement and providing the Palestinian police with guns. These , although numbered and logged were and are being used against Israeli troops and civilians. Israel has not yet made a decision whether to comply with this latest request- and there are many here who think she should do so. We shall see. Jack The Lad- In Israel
