`They want us to be whores and prostitute our beliefs`

We'd rather not, in fact we refuse to, but whether we make it depends on support.

Graphics, links, videos added by Alex

(SORMAN, Libya) - It was a warm early Monday morning along the Libyan coast on June 20, 2011. At approximately 0200 GMT the next day in NATO Headquarters in Brussels and 30 minutes later in its media center in Naples, staffers finished tabulating NATO’s 92nd day of aerial attacks on Libya and began to post the data on its website.

Twenty four hours earlier an Atlantic Alliance command unit, located approximately 30 miles off the Libyan coast, in a direct line with Malta, and NATO’s targeting unit had signed off on 49 bombing missions for June 20th, the last day of spring and the last day of NATO’s original UN bombing mandate.

IGNORING THE LURE: Materialism`s Backlash

Wealthy glitter does not impress me or define my inner value. There is no price tag to my principles. These remain the cornerstone of my reason for being.

Angels, Parents and Proverbs... Double Shot of Sunday Poetry

An Angel Is In The Midst 'Exodus 23' Angels and As Parents Remember Proverbs 22: 6 & Ecclesiastes 7: 1.

(CLEVELAND) - It is a good time for human beings to be on alert and paying attention to the world around them... the one that they can see is damaged, hurting and increasingly frail.

While alive, in the physical realm, we exist in a place that we simultaenously destroy with war and profit ventures; we do it knowing that most of us are helpless and those in power don't care about the right things, they care about stuffing their wallets often at the expense of the poor and little else.

Arsenic in Apple Juice and the Sky is Falling

Yes, arsenic in apple juice is a problem, but not so much as the TV doctors would have you believe. A real Toxicoligist dismisses the absurdity.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - A couple of TV doctors started bleating about the DANGER of arsenic and apple juice as if it were a new hazard.

I don't know if my experience as a toxicologist will calm the waters or not, but I am going to try anyway.

(CRYSTAL MOUNTAINS, Wash.) - I have been a surfer for over 42 years and my son Evan who is now 11, never caught on to the one love of my life. Instead, he chose to be a skater dude and he is a pretty good one at that.

Musas Arrested in London, all Family Members Now in Custody

My last sight of Chiwar and Gloria was sitting in facing seats at the back of the police van behind wire mesh, similar to what people use to confine their dogs to the back of the car.

(LONDON) - This message received from a supporter at the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday, where the Musas were arrested facing an investigation for "drugging" their baby, who was subsequently removed from them on June 28th and who hasn't been seen since.

This event is totally outrageous and a grave miscarriage of justice, and the entire Musa case needs an honest investigation by an honest party...
