I am sure most of you remember the old me, the one who would argue with anyone on any point at the drop of a hat. Ask Overdose he and I had many arguments, one that almost led to me being banned. I am still the same guy but do to the project I am working on, Beirut investigation, I must keep my emotions intact. I don't even look in the other forums anymore, history and chat central. But someday I will be back and ready to argue some more.
Overdose you and a few others brought out the fight in me, thank you for that. Now I am taking on the government and the press over Beirut. My Marine brothers deserve that much and I must be the one to stand up.
Vile you also taught me to have some compassion for those younger and full of Vim, so for that I have to thank you. Of course all of you who agreed with me, I have only one thing to say; you were right. :)

I wasn't around for your early days, but I wish I was, I think you and I could have had some interesting discussions. I did sign the petition, I am always interested in the things our government covers up for one reason or another, though my military experience has led me to believe that a lot of what is classified doesn't deserve to be there, and is usually classified just because it can. It takes like three signatures to classify something and fifty to unclassify it, it seems.

Emotions are heady, intense trips for those unable to surpress them. Perhaps you can channel them into the things you really want out of life. Most people, sadly, are unable to do so, but an inability to surpress them means they have to go somewhere, and I'm sure you will be able to do great things with them.

I think it is a great thing, regardless of where it came from, and sometimes I envy those who live their emotions strongly.

Glad to have you back BV, and good luck with your petition thingy.:)

BTW, I hope you and yours had a merry Christmas.

We did and thank both of you, by the way Vile did you sign it?

I did, and I stickied it for your viewing pleasure. :)

I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the support you have given my husband. He has held all this in for so long and it's really about time it came out. :)
