Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Though we all admire the industry and
economic benefits of the bee we ought to play much closer attention to how it is
able to accomplish so much. Bees are social beings able to work in concert with one
another for the good of their colony and hence for each other. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Man said decapitated
during ride in Ga. (pdf)
This story is from ABC but was carried by many other papers as John Hutcherson
(right) was drunk and was involved in an accident on the way home killing his life
long friend. |

Court Judges- Wednesday
August 25, 2004
by : Brian Marlatt

August 20, 2004

The people of Venezuela have spoken and there will be echoes of their vote to endorse

a serious threat to the people of this planet.
