[FairfieldLife] '4 Dead In Ohio'/1,000's Dead In New Orleans/And Iraq'
A long time ago; A song came out; By Crosby, Stills and Nash; Back in the Sixties. The song was about; The aweful killing of four Ohio State students; On their campus; They were killed by National Guard Troops; Who were edgy that terrible day; And shot dead four young students, that day... Now, we have another Republican President; And last week; I saw Mr. Steven Stills; On one of the news shows; And he said of President Bush: "That Chimp in the White House". I thought that was rude and disrespectful; Of our President. R.Gimbel Seattle,WA.

[FairfieldLife] The press release many of us suspect is coming
MAHARISHI'S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD PRESS - SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 Katrina 'Devastation' Seen as Golden Opportunity for World Peace and Windfall for Builders Invited to Participate in Global Reconstruction Program As previously announced, the World Government's Global Reconstruction Program will raise the world's population from problem-ridden life to problem-free lifelife in accord with Total Natural Law -- life in enlightenment, perfect health, affluence, invincibility, and peace. However, many cynics and problem-ridden people, attached to their cultures and traditions and to the non-Vastu- friendly buildings in their countries, did not immediately see the wisdom of tearing the whole lot of them down and starting over with Vastu-correct buildings constructed by TM front companies. Enter Nature. Hurricane Katrina should be viewed as the response of the realm of Natural Law to the failure of the world to immediately tear down all the old buildings and reconstruct the world in accord with Natural Law and to do it -- as we demanded in our initial Press Releases -- simultaneously and quickly. "Time and tide wait for no one," Maharishi said at that time. The world didn't listen. So the realm of Total Natural Law responded by 'devastating' the first of many non-Vastu cities. Just look at the word 'devastate.' Could the meaning be any clearer? The city of New Orleans was not Vastu-compliant; therefore it was de-Vastu-ated, to clear the way for a *proper* Vastu city to be built on its ruins. We in the World Government are sorry, of course, about the minor inconvenience of millions of people being without homes while the reconstruction effort is taking place, but you can make an om-lette without breaking a few eggs, can you? Similarly, we are distressed at the loss of life. It is regrettable that so many died as Nature rearranged things. To help make up for this loss, the World Government pledges to give each of these returning souls a discount on learning the TM program when they reincarnate. The course fee for such reincarnated souls will be $2000, or 1/3 of the current course fee, whichever is higher. It's the least we can do. None of this was necessary. If you had just listened to what we said and torn down all of your cities immediately to make room for the incredibly more Nature-compliant Vastu replacements, Nature would not have been forced to make you comply. That it was is an expression of one of Maharishi's primary teachings, "Avoid the problem before it arises," which he has recently re-translated from the original Vedic verses to read, "If you had just given us the money we asked for when we asked for it, you'd be high and dry now." Providing Fortune-Creating Homes through the World Recon- struction Program is just one of the undertakings of the Global Country of World Peace. Just wait until we get into the clothing business and you're asked to throw away every item of clothing you own and buy an all-new Vedic-compliant wardrobe. When that happens, remember Katrina and get out your credit cards. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

[FairfieldLife] Press Release (For Maharishi),Lovingly yours...'
God Bless Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, For all the many foot-steps he took; Out of the mountains of India; Long ago, before we were even thought of. God Bless John and Bevan, for being the symbols; Of loyalty, to one's Master. God Bless anyone who ever ran into, Mahesh; The once little boy; Who dreamt of a New World... That he would help to create. By mea intention, entangled with love; For the Master, he gives all "Glory To". Someone who; We in the West can only ponder; Someone who leaves home; At the tender age of 11; To seek a Master; And went through quite a few; Until he came upon; One who was "Peaceful". And so, our Mahesh Yogi, of the Himalayas Mts. We thank you God; For creating one as beautiful; As this one; We lovingly call: Maharishi.

[FairfieldLife] The Commandments of Coyote
Found on the Internet, shared for those who are 1) into the Native American Coyote legends, 2) not as uptight about sex as Tom P., and 3) still able to laugh after all this recent hurricane stuff... I. Thou Shalt Have As Many Gods and Spirits and Personal Trainers and Gurus As You Like Before Me, But You Shalt Not Let Them Block the Exits, and More, You Shall Not Permit Them To Take the Last Beer, For That Beer Is Mine. Seriously. Don't. II. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Wife, But Thou Art Totally Welcome To Admire Her Ass When She Walks By, and If It Happens To Come Out That They Are In An Open Relationship, Dude, Tap That Ass As Much As They Are Willing To Allow. Same Goes For the Ladies. Coveting Is Sort Of Stupid, But Sex Is Just Plain Fun, Unless Thou Art Doing It Entirely Wrong. III. If Thy Neighbor Says 'Hands Off My Wife, Dude', Thou Shalt Listen and Back Off, Because Otherwise, Thy Neighbor Will Be Totally Justified In Hitting You About the Head and Shoulders With Gardening Tools, and Don't Think That I'm Going To Step In There and Stop Him. IV. Adultery Is Actually Pretty Fun. Commit It All You Like. Just Make Sure Everyone Is Cool With It, Or I Will Not Help You Out Once the Hitting Gets Started. V. Thou Shalt Not Eat Poisoned Bait. If You Do, Don't Come Whining To Me About It, Because I Am Very Unlikely To Care. Once It Is In Your Mouth, It Is Your Problem, Not Mine. VI. Of Course Thou Shalt Kill. Carnivores Do That. Also, Swatting Mosquitoes, Sort Of Instinctive. But All Creatures Are Alive Before You Kill Them, and So Thou Shalt Respect Them In Their Lives and In Their Deaths. Thou Shalt Not Kill Without Reason. Thy Neighbor Tapping Thy Wife's Ass? Is Not A Reason. Don't Make Me Set A Plague Upon Thy Ass. Thou Wouldst Not Enjoy It, I Promise. VII. Thou Shalt Not Hoard. Seriously, Here. If You Have Enough, Share. Only Asshats Bogart Life. VIII. Thou Shalt Not Be A Martyr. If You Have One Beer, Drink It. Do Not Give It To Me and Then Expect Adoration. Dude, That Was Your Beer, I Did Not Break Your Arm To Get It. Give What You Can Give, and Expect Neither Praise Nor Worship. You Are Not Being Morally Superior, You Are Being A Decent Human Being. There Is A Difference. VIV. Assume This Is It. Maybe There Is Reincarnation; Maybe Not. Not Only Am I Not Saying, Please Consider the Fact That I Probably Get A Say In Whether You Come Back, and If You Are the Sort Of Person Who Doesn't Do Anything With One Life, Why Should I Waste My Time Giving You Another One? Live Like You Get No Second Chances. You Will Have More Fun. X. Are You Going To Eat That? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

Not to get in the way of a private ShempJudyspat or anything, but just to provide a little more background on the subject, t'would seem that private enterprise (in the form of a subject dear to the heart of TMers, real estate developers) was at the *heart* of setting the priorities wrong. Warning to GWB TBs -- Bush-bashing ahead... "No One Can Say they Didn't See it Coming" By Sidney Blumenthal In 2001, FEMA warned that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S. But the Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war. Biblical in its uncontrolled rage and scope, Hurricane Katrina has left millions of Americans to scavenge for food and shelter and hundreds to thousands reportedly dead. With its main levee broken, the evacuated city of New Orleans has become part of the Gulf of Mexico. But the damage wrought by the hurricane may not entirely be the result of an act of nature. A year ago the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed to study how New Orleans could be protected from a catastrophic hurricane, but the Bush administration ordered that the research not be undertaken. After a flood killed six people in 1995, Congress created the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, in which the Corps of Engineers strengthened and renovated levees and pumping stations. In early 2001, the Federal Emergency Management Agency issued a report stating that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S., including a terrorist attack on New York City. But by 2003 the federal funding for the flood control project essentially dried up as it was drained into the Iraq war. In 2004, the Bush administration cut funding requested by the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for holding back the waters of Lake Pontchartrain by more than 80 percent. Additional cuts at the beginning of this year (for a total reduction in funding of 44.2 percent since 2001) forced the New Orleans district of the Corps to impose a hiring freeze. The Senate had debated adding funds for fixing New Orleans' levees, but it was too late. The New Orleans Times-Picayune, which before the hurricane published a series on the federal funding problem, and whose presses are now underwater, reported online: "No one can say they didn't see it coming ... Now in the wake of one of the worst storms ever, serious questions are being asked about the lack of preparation." The Bush administration's policy of turning over wetlands to developers almost certainly also contributed to the heightened level of the storm surge. In 1990, a federal task force began restoring lost wetlands surrounding New Orleans. Every two miles of wetland between the Crescent City and the Gulf reduces a surge by half a foot. Bush had promised "no net loss" of wetlands, a policy launched by his father's administration and bolstered by President Clinton. But he reversed his approach in 2003, unleashing the developers. The Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency then announced they could no longer protect wetlands unless they were somehow related to interstate commerce. In response to this potential crisis, four leading environmental groups conducted a joint expert study, concluding in 2004 that without wetlands protection New Orleans could be devastated by an ordinary, much less a Category 4 or 5, hurricane. "There's no way to describe how mindless a policy that is when it comes to wetlands protection," said one of the report's authors. The chairman of the White House's Council on Environmental Quality dismissed the study as "highly questionable," and boasted, "Everybody loves what we're doing." "My administration's climate change policy will be science based," President Bush declared in June 2001. But in 2002, when the Environmental Protection Agency submitted a study on global warming to the United Nations reflecting its expert research, Bush derided it as "a report put out by a bureaucracy," and excised the climate change assessment from the agency's annual report. The next year, when the EPA issued its first comprehensive "Report on the Environment," stating, "Climate change has global consequences for human health and the environment," the White House simply demanded removal of the line and all similar conclusions. At the G-8 meeting in Scotland this year, Bush successfully sty

Actually that isn't what the article you quote says at all. What is says is that Bush's favors to real estate developers "almost certainly contributed" to the storm surge. Aside from Bush's general lack of interest in prudent domestic policy and its disregard for science, "at the *heart* of setting the priorities wrong" was the perceived necessity of funding the Iraq war.

Only to the extent that private enterprise perceived doing the right thing to be to its own benefit. Which is what motivates amoral politicians and public officials like those in the Bush administration as well, of course. There isn't that much of a choice in that regard. It doesn't appear to have been private enterprise that was urging the administration to increase funding for New Orleans flood prevention. After all, there were *huge* profits to be made on the Iraq war. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

Wasn't talking to you, actually. But I understand if you feel the need to focus attention on your self, and am down with compassion for that, so it's Ok. Here are a few more quotes on seriousness for that self to ponder. :-) Unc "Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow." -- Oscar Wilde "Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not." -- Vaclav Havel "Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play." -- Heraclitus "Seriousness is stupidity sent to college." -- P. J. O'Rourke "It is not so important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important things. The monkey wears an expression of seriousness which would do credit to any college student, but the monkey is serious because he itches." -- Robert M. Hutchins Yahoo!

Putting any individual president aside for a moment, can you imagine the amperage that must flow through the president, simply by virtue of the office? All those people reporting to you.

I once read an article written by a fellow who had worked closely with several Presidents, who commented that Reagan was the only one who he had not seen "age" considerably while in office (meaning that he had seen most Presidents "put on" about ten years in physical appearance of age during each four-year term). Even though he actually liked Reagan, his rationale for why this was true was clear. He felt that none of this pressure ever got to Reagan because he didn't really understand that any of it was real. He was brought up in an environment (the movies) where when people got shot, they all got to stand up again and be fine once the director yelled, "Cut." > Bush 41 managed it by being a good manager.

Reagan wasn't "brought up" in the movies, he was raised in a small town in Illinois and became a radio announcer there in college. Even after he got into the movies, in his late 20s, he didn't act much as he was more interested in the political aspects of the industry. Sal Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: The destruction of New Orleans -- Due to Sin!
"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of righteousness emerge," he continued. "We must help and pray for those ravaged by this disaster, but let us not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long," Marcavage said. "May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God," Marcavage concluded.

Reagan's descent into > Alzheimer's was apparently very clear to those who worked with him. Agreed, but this gentleman was talking about physical signs of aging, not mental ones. He gave the example of seeing Presidents' hair turn from black to gray over the course of one term, develop "worry lines" in the face, develop stooped shoulders, that sort of thing. And although what you say is true, the article in ques- tion was written at the end of the first Reagan term, before anyone really noticed the mental deterioration. Yahoo!

In this respect it's interesting to see the Neo-Cons and Archaeo-Cons both boost Reagan as their poster boy. It really tells you a lot: 'we like 'em big and dumb -- must be able to act the part. Must be good at picking a cabinet, as it is their decisions that will be running the country! They and the corporations of course.' Having watched my own grandfather slowly disappear via senile dementia and eventually Alzheimer's, it was a lot easier to see that we were being lead by a charismatic dullard who was lucky to have a wife who was really into astrology. ;-) Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Katrina disaster updates
-- The evacuation from the Super Dome in New Orleans to the Astrodome in Houston has been halted because helicopters are being shot at and fires being set around the dome to keep the buses from reaching it. 100 troops (National Guard, probably) are being sent to get the disturbancs around the dome under control. "We need a thousand," observed an EMS worker who was in the thick of things. -- Adding to the chaos, the area is swarming with refugees from other areas who heard about the bus convoy to Houston, but did not hear that only the Super Dome residents were being evacuated for the time being. Nobody is telling the refugees anything; they have to depend on picking up rumors. -- Two Louisiana state senators, on their own initiative, got hold of two buses and sent them to the Super Dome to evacuate people who were ill to Baton Rouge. But the buses were commandeered by Southern Bell to transport some of its workers out of the area, claiming they took priority over the sick people. Some of the sick people were put on the buses anyway, but they had to sit in the aisles. (This from Fox News, which is really doing yeoman work in this crisis--vastly better than CNN.) -- On ABC this morning, President Bush said, "Nobody could have anticipated that the levees [in New Orleans] would be breached." -- Teams of Canadian medical and other aid workers on their way to the Gulf Coast to help out have been stopped at the border and not allowed to enter the United States. -- Homeland Security Secretary Alan Cheroff held a press conference this morning to announce that September is National Preparedness Month. You can't make this stuff up. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

Nicely done. It's not just in New Orleans. Apparently the poor folks who were unable to evacuate from some of the other devastated areas--especially Mississippi--are infuriated because there was no plan to help them get away. Yahoo!

BTW, seeing how the average elevation of NO is 6 feet below sea level, how could the water only be waist deep? If a bowl holds a potential of two quarts, is it possible for it to hold less than two quarts? I believe many of the residential areas that you see flooded are flooded up to or just below the roofs of one story homes. Obviously that is over waist deep. However, that appears to be the deepest and the rest of the city looks as if one could easily wade through the water. Tossing out little rubber cushions or rafts to people stuck on roofs could be far more dangerous than picking them up by helicopter from a dry roof tops. I would think the last thing you would want to do is encourage people to swim for it in that kind of water.

The decisions were > local, not federal. Your sources are telling you what you want to hear again. The levees are an Army Corps of Engineers project. Saw someone from the Corps interviewed on ABC two nights ago on its disaster special. Asked why the levees weren't built to handle over a category 3, he responded that the Corps had done a careful cost-benefit analysis before making the decision. Asked whether, in light of the disaster and what it is going to cost the U.S. economy, there might have been some flaws in that analysis, he said they were going to have to go back and have another look at it. (Amazingly, before the follow-up question was asked, the guy's tone as he explanated about the cost-benefit analysis was smugly confident, as if he expected that would be all he'd need to say.) According to an article in the April Popular Mechanics, however, the Corps had been considering revamping the whole levee system to make it resistant to a category 5 hurricane, so it looks as though they were already rethinking the earlier decision. http://tinyurl.com/7pa2e Yahoo!

The "fly-by" adds credence to the "uncontrollable" theory, in my opinion. It is nothing less than political suicide for an American President to not show up "on the ground" at a large natural disaster in his country. Clinton would have been there the next day, helping to sling sandbags. And what does Bush do? He flies over the largest such natural disaster in US history and looks down from the air? I'm sorry, but somebody's afraid to let him near reporters who might ask embarrassing questions, and cameras that might record his inability to deal with them. > After all, he can't start a war with nature in response to > this.

Lack of federal funding is a cop out. No, it really isn't. Not when every working person in this country contributes about 30 cents of *every* dollar earned to the feds. Those folks are awash in money, and have borrowed incredible amounts more. Staggering amounts of money flowing to them; over 6.6 billion per day, every day. And now, after sending huge amounts of it overseas to secure additional oil resources while relentlessly cutting funding to every domestic program, we are once again asked to 'be generous', 'open our pockets', etc, etc. The cop out is by the feds. 100%. How much are you planning to send to this relief effort once old Bush and Clinton make yet another tired appeal for your dollars, at the behest of young Bush?

Reminds me of Condoleezza Rice saying nobody expected terrorists to fly planes into buildings, despite intelligence projecting just that possibility. Contrast that FEMA evaluation with this, from today's New York Times: "The present levees are designed to withstand a Category 3 hurricane; Hurricane Katrina was Category 4, one short of the highest category." It was projected at Category 5 going in. The media were reporting that the levees would not hold well before the storm hit. Too bad the people who relay the news to the president didn't pick that up. And I believe we've already discussed where the money went that was supposed to raise the levees' strength. Also in the Times today, columnist David L. Brooks recounts the political blowback from past floods, going back to the Johnstown flood. You can be the recriminations will fly this time, too. www.nytimes.com - Patrick Gillam Yahoo!

Judy neither said these things herself, nor did she quote columns or news stories or anything else that said these things. Even if Bush had started doing everything he possibly could to stem global warming from his very first day in office, there's no way to say whether any of it could have made any difference with regard to Hurricane Katrina, even if Katrina *was* the result of global warming, which nobody knows for sure anyway. And I know I made a post in which I said explicitly that *one-third* of Louisiana's National Guard was in Iraq. There's no way I would have said *all* its National Guard was in Iraq. Yahoo!

Has anyone else noticed this? Almost all the so-called "poor people" shown on news clips are not just overweight, but OBESE? This is quite a testament to the United States if our "poor people" are busting at the seams from overeating. Assuming actual impoverished people of the Third World had televisions and satellite or cable service and were able to see these images, it would actually INCREASE the already untold millions of people seeking to immigrate to the U.S. Yahoo!

Mini hills and valleys of about 10-20 feet exist everywhere. Heck, I'm in the middle of a dessert and whenever there is a dip in the road of about 5 feet, there is a road sign that says: do not enter when flooded because that's all it takes to get your car stuck and under water. 2) Film crews assigned to show devastation aren't going to film the areas NOT affected, they are going to get the most sensational footage.

Well, if FEMA was the first to anticipate it, why did it take them 80 years to figure it out (or however long they've been in existence)? The obvious fact is that the breach was obviously a possibility but Bush, Clinton, and everyone and anyone else in positions of responsibility out there for the past 100 or so years that this problem has existed in New Orleans paid it as much attention as the people in Thailand and Sri Lanka gave to the possibility of the Tsunami...and, yes, there were the same "dire" warnings from professionals that a Tsunami would cause the devastation that it did.

You've made that up, Judy. Unless they were footage of Appalachian children from the 1960s, I've never seen footage of American children who were "painfully skinny". Doesn't exist.

As Judy knows (because I've explained this to her before), bulk organic grains and foods are available for a fraction of the cost of junk foods. Of course, it takes time to prepare bulk foods and you've got to shlepp the bags from the store to home, which may inconvenience alot of obese welfare Moms... Yahoo!

In a message dated 9/1/05 10:42:48 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The "fly-by" adds credence to the "uncontrollable" theory,in my opinion. It is nothing less than political suicidefor an American President to not show up "on the ground"at a large natural disaster in his country. Clinton wouldhave been there the next day, helping to sling sandbags.And what does Bush do? He flies over the largest suchnatural disaster in US history and looks down from the air? I'm sorry, but somebody's afraid to let him near reporters who might ask embarrassing questions, and cameras that might record his inability to deal with them. This is exactly what I referred to in an earlier post. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. As I recall Bush was on his way back to DC when Air force one flew low to let him get a glimpse of the destruction.Why was he on his way back to DC? To please his critics who said he needed to be in Washington DC to give the appearance of leadership from the oval office. Bush was heavily criticized when he and his brother passed out water and supplies at hurricane devastation sites last year in Florida.They were accused of politicizing the situation and being in the way of relief workers < Where exactly was Air force One supposed to land in New Orleans when the airport was under water. Two days ago the governor of Mississippi specifically asked the president not to come yet, while the Governor of Louisiana couldn't make up her mind whether he should come now or a wait a few days. I guarantee if Bush were in the area on the ground right now he would be criticized for distracting rescue efforts and possibly causing more deaths.It was reported earlier this morning that Bush is planning to tour the areas in the next few days when it is more appropriate. I just hope the shrillness from the left continues and gets louder because they are only making fools of themselves.< It won't be the media or the rest of the left rebuilding New Orleans, it will be American capitalists. It's not Moveon.org and Cindy Sheehan rescuing people out of the flood, it's the military and police that they loath. It's not the Hollywood crowd that got private relief efforts started,It's the major corporations, that the left loves to hate, donating millions. I love it! The Left does nothing but whine,criticize and complain while the rest of America goes into action! You guys just can't see how the rest of America sees you. You can't win elections and you're in a downward spiral. I love it, I love it, I love it!

[FairfieldLife] File - FFL Guidelines.txt
Guidelines File 05/21/05 Fairfield Life averages 100-150 posts a day; 300+ on peak days. To avoid having your inbox flooded, we suggest one of the following: 1) Opt to receive the emails, but create a folder in your email client and a rule to direct all FFL posts to that folder. 2) Choose the "no emails" option and read FFL in your browser. 3) Opt to receive the daily digest. 4) Create another email account solely for FFL posts. Yahoo now gives 1 GB for free. 5) You can also read FFL posts at http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because at also allows sorting by thread. -- 1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. "Speak the truth that is sweet" is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain composure before writing or pushing the send button. 2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 3) Please be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it. 4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where relevant. 5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 6) Anonymous posts are permitted. 7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web. Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted and used elsewhere. 8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are highly relevant to this group. If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion. 9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific discussion at hand. 10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal messages to the whole list. 11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home page without having to join the list. 12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. See the Database, Links and Files sections for folders that have been set up listing books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful, links, etc. 13) Discussions of politics that affect personal growth and world consciousness are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness. 14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned it in a post or two, or just to you privately, please refer to that member only by the pseudonym. 15) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, please place a text file with your suggestions in the Guidelines folder.

Does it speak volumes about the present state of the TMO, or about how people on this forum tend to perceive the TMO? I knew this was satire after reading the title. Yahoo!

"Under water" means UNDER water...100% below the surface of the water. You are saying that 80% of the entire city of New Orleans is 100% "under water"? Yahoo!
