http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050622/D8ASN4MG0.html With the acquiescence of their leaders, key House Republicans are drafting Social Security legislation stripped of President Bush's proposed

http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050622/D8ASD2HG0.html Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks wanted to vanish because she feared she could not be the perfect wife. She picked Austin, Texas, as her original destination after seeing actor Matthew McConaughey talk about his hometown on TV. And she funded her odyssey by cashing a cell phone rebate check and emptying an old bank account. Those were
some of the details that emerged Tuesday from investigation reports by the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that detailed Wilbanks' flight. The reports portrayed the 32-year-old nurse as a naive woman whose mother did her banking for her. (My comment: She should have ran away from home a long time ago. I mean, who lets their mother do their banking for them at 32 years old?)

http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050622/D8ASREC00.html House approves Flag Burning Amendment

I do not like to see the flag burned. I think it is wrong.. But.. that is MY opinion. It is my right to have that opinion. Am I going to berate you if you do burn the flag? No.

Now... I have to agree with these sentiments: Rep.Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said, "If the flag needs protection at all, it needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more
than the freedoms that the flag represents."

I think all of us should be more worried about the loss of freedoms that we have endured without even realizing it.
