I hope all of our friends who passed on this year somehow know

I don't know any other way to say this. I cheer them all for being part of us.

Wish they were here.

Stop and remember tonight.

For them.

1. Dain Bramaged. in response to your post

I believe that although that body dies, the soul, the mind, the VERY ESSENCE survives. So, though there'll be many who may make light or fun of my reply, I can do nothing other than to assert that all those dear and courageous DU'ers who are no longer with us IN BODY, are indeed here in spirit. I believe that they chances they took, the battles they fought, the sheer bravery of rocking a boat that, at times, seemed to be an unimaginable juggernaut, THEY are the reason we find ourselves at this juncture in history, with the brought shining future that is lighting up the past back the country we know and have always known as America. Kephra, Oneighty, Andy, Anne, not to mention the faceless thousands who've died in an unnecessary war and all the others who've fallen along the way, though this may sound like nonsense to some, provided the impetus and drive that seems to have overcome the fascistic direction America was being pushed and dragged, kicking and screaming toward.

For what it's worth, I say thank you to all those who fell along the way; without your sacrifices, we would have never been able to read the compass and chart the path back to the country we know and love. In tribute and remembrance, I have only two words to express my feelings:


Thank You From the bottom of my heart, all of you

The next thing they would tell us to do is to roll up our sleeves and get to wark restoring our INALIENABLE rights and human dignity as well and cleaning away the Neocon blight from the bright and shining city on the Hill, as we were always known as in the past.

3. I believe you completely. I felt Andy's spirit the night he passed and

again last night. My neighbor passed of cancer 3 days ago but I only found out yesterday. 3 days ago I was thinking of him and saying to myself that we all should live life as if we've got cancer because life is a terminal disease and we must appreciate it when we have it. That thought came to me out of no where and now I find out he died as I was thinking this.


Hope I make sense. I am sooooooooo tired. I need a week to do nothing but rest.
