Mrs. Merlin here. I still miss him very badly. He was so sane that in this unsane world I really need his strength. You people were his friends and I still am grateful to you all.

Ben would have been 58 on Oct. 13. He was diagnosed with ALL on May 19 and fought very hard to survive. It was not meant to be. I thank all the members for their outpouring of sympathy. Mrs. Merlin

I found the message line tonight and have been here crying and smiling.I am so touched at all the wonderful things people had to say about Ben. He was a special person and after 34 years with him, there is a tremendous void. He enjoyed all the time that he spent with his message friends. I would...

You're entitled to your opinions. I too am not pleased regarding many aspects of this President's performance. However, you will find that you get along a lot better on this board if you include a substantial degree of specificity in your posts. Your opening post amounted to little more than...

Is there some point to this little tantrum, or are you just wanting to tie up space on the server? This board may be predominantly CONSERVATIVE - not necessarily Republican. We don't toss people for liberal views. We DO toss people who come here with an attitude, a chip on their shoulder...

Where is your basis for the "fact" you cite that "religion teaches people to hate gays". I believe that it is probably more factual to state that you just pulled that statement out of your butt. Christianity teaches that homosexuality is WRONG. It does not encourage hatred of homosexuals...

Sorry. No sympathy for California. Let them reap the rewards of their left-wing philosophies.

Wonder what this is based on? I sure haven't seen an increase in his performance.

Say what??? These ten-faced hypocrites can come out with a statement like this after looking down their noses at true patriots and deriding them as "flag wavers"? It took worthless leftists to make "flag waver" a derogatory term. If they're embracing patriotism now, it's only because they...

I heard about this on Hannity. It ticked me off so bad I was cross eyed. These people need to have the living shit beaten out of them.

Well, I hope you're right, but that's not how I see it. I see an administration that is losing the war, not in Iraq, but right here at home. It is losing that war because George Bush and his administration are unable to communicate with the majority of the American people. As a result, the...

The more I look at the Iraq situation, the more it begins to resemble the Viet Nam debacle to me. The only thing that's missing is the President designating which targets will be bombed. Think about it. In the Viet Nam war we allowed the enemy to hide in neighboring countries and did not...

Oh yeah. You bet. I can just see the ACLU rushing in on this one - like a herd of turtles!

Well, normally I would tend to agree with this type of sentiment. But the fact is that consumption is the engine which drives the price of gasoline. Assume that I'm driving a Hummer, getting 12 mpg and you're driving some hybrid getting 50 mpg. The fact is that the excess demand I create for...
