One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who said excitedly, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?" "That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about my student, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and ..." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?" "No, on the contrary ..." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?" This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found out that Plato was banging his wife.

I had Meningitis when I was 10. I was being treated for weeks for kidney problems( falsly) and the virus was not found until I was unable to move. A doctor that was on vacation stopped by the clinic because he forgot something and joined the other doctors to a peek at me. They were ready to take me into exploratory sugery to see when my body was shutting down, they still thought it to be a kidney problem. He was in the room for five secounds and tried to neck trick. The fulid in my spine was so screwed up my neck could not be bent, trying to touch my chin to chest brought on the worst pain ever. I stil remember the feeling almost 20 years later. He diagnosed me with meningitis and I was admitted to hopital. I remember my parents telling me that the medicine may kill me ( penicillin) if I were alergic and the virus may not respond if I was not. I think they told me after but I was aware of how serious this virus was. And the spinal taps were awful. one entering the hospital and one leaving. I spent 2 weeks in a hospital bed and recoved fine. I remember the pain trying to walk again but I made it. Its good that they cought it early. Keep your spirits up.

Fonda admitted that she and Kerry addressed the crowd that day from the same platform, she maintained that their contact was minimal. "I don't even think we shook hands." Her account stands in stark contrast, however, to that of presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, who reported in his Kerry biography, "Tour of Duty," that after Fonda and the top Democrat appeared at the same Valley Forge demonstration, she "adopted" Kerry's group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, as "her leading cause." On Monday, Brinkley said that while researching his book he came across additional documentation linking Fonda to Kerry. "I've seen their names in a University of Wisconsin archive on [Kerry's VVAW]," Brinkley told "Radio Factor" host Bill O'Reilly. "Their names are on the same mimeograph sheets, where you can see them as principal speakers together." Fonda, defending Kerry's leadership in VVAW, said it wasn't true that the anti-war group was rooting for a communist victory in Vietnam. "This was an organization of men who risked their lives in Vietnam, who considered themselves totally patriotic," she said. After Valley Forge, Fonda reportedly bankrolled VVAW's "Winter Soldier Investigation," an event staged in Detroit in February 1971 where Kerry interviewed disgruntled veterans in an attempt to glean the most dramatic accounts of U.S. atrocities. Later, some "veterans" who participated in Winter Soldier were exposed as impostors. A videotape of Kerry interviewing some Winter Soldier witnesses exists, and is likely to be made public during the presidential campaign. Still, Fonda maintained that Kerry's attempt to spotlight alleged U.S. war crimes in Vietnam was a patriotic act. "How can you impugn, how can you even suggest, that anyone like Kerry or any of these veterans were not patriotic?" she complained to CNN. "He was a hero there." Eighteen months after Winter Soldier, Fonda traveled to Hanoi and sat atop an enemy aircraft battery pretending to shoot down U.S. pilots as North Vietnamese cameras rolled.

Does the program require you to purchase all the EAS products? Or is it just recomendations for diet and exercise?

I think we are looking at things all wrong. The WMDs were there maybe in the early 90s. iraq was to disoise of the WMDs and WMD programmes. Iraq provided no paper trail or evidence of their destruction. The burden of proff was on Iraq. Somehow the left used to media to spin thia into a GW thing, when this was clearly a problem for the previous two administrations. I was hoping that we would find the missing materials and weapons in Iraq. For the sake of finding them before they find inocent people.

While doing a search on the Web today we came across this fascinating "letter" posted on e-thepeople.org. Take a gander: [See the letter below.] Bush cost me my job, my kids and my houses Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions. They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job. This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years. Not a single government program was there to help me. How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable. While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush. And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian. If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democrat Party. If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons! Regards, Saddam Hussein

Reasons for an AH-1W Cobra to be flying at around 75 feet over my house?

Since we are talkiung about the deficit we should adress it correctly and realize the absolute size of the deficit is practically meaningless. The informative measure is the size of the deficit relative to the size of the economy. For example, even though the deficit for 2004 may be the largest in dollar terms, as a percentage of GDP it is smaller than those of the 1980s and early 1990s. Size may count in many things, but not here. As for the safety of the troops: I blame most deaths on the left. They give aid and comfort to the enemy by making a political issue out of national secutiry. This reaises the moral of the terrorists and thugs while demoralizing our troops. We may all disagree about the reasons for going to war and if we should even be there. One thing we should never do is give comfort to the enemy when there are boots on the ground. These issues should be debated in the halls of congress and not the UN and Al-Jezra (SP).
