Drug War in the U.S. is a WASTE OF TIME
boortz.com Atlanta Police went to a home on Neal Street in Atlanta last evening to execute a search warrant. When they kicked the door in the only occupant of the home, a 92-year-old woman, started shooting. She hit all three police officers. One in the thigh, one in the arm and another in the shoulder. All police officers will be OK. The woman will not. She was shot and killed by the police. I'm not blaming the cops here. Not at all. They had a valid search warrant, and they say they were at the right address. Shots were fired, three cops hit, and they returned fire. A 91-year-old woman who was so afraid of crime in her neighborhood that she had burglar bars on every door and window, is now dead. The blame lies on this idiotic drug war we're waging. We have all the studies we need, all of the comprehensive data is in. We can do a much more effective job of reducing drug use in this country if we'll just take a portion of this money we spend for law enforcement and spend it on treatment programs. A Rand study showed that we can reduce illicit drug usage in this country a specified amount through treatment programs at about 10% of the cost of reducing drug usage by that same amount through criminalization and law enforcement. There's just something in the American psyche that demands that drug users be punished instead of treated and rehabilitated. We think they're stupid and ignorant for getting mixed up with those drugs in the first place. And you know what? We're right. But look at the messages we send to our children every single day with cigarettes, alcohol, and an endless stream of drug ads on television and in magazines. Drug culture? You bet we have a drug culture! "Ask your doctor about Noassitol!"

i know they keep saying not long now, but for God's sake, they could put our nerves to rest if they would just give us a time frame, like early next year or march-april. hope it is soon though. real soon.

The Oasis Thread
Oasis to hit studio this month Liam Gallagher wants to get going on new album Oasis singer Liam Gallagher has revealed the band are likely to get started on their new studio album this month. The rock giants release their Best Of compilation 'Stop The Clocks' on November 20, but Gallagher is keen to get started on the follow-up 'proper' to 2005's 'Don't Believe The Truth'. He told NME's sister magazine Uncut: "I reckon we're going to start doing something this month, go to our studio. It's the bollocks. Fuckin' old Tudor ranch in High Wycombe, fucking stay there and get it done. Just got to wait for Noel to finish his tunes I suppose." Speaking about 'Stop The Clocks', which marks the end of the band's deal with SonyBMG, Gallagher added: "I want to get this (album) out of the fucking way, it's doing my head in. To me, it's the last of however fucking long, the last 16 years of that label, that's done. We can start again." NME

well, this helps. from http://www.last.fm/user/SideFlower/journal/2006/08/22/212255/ KT Tunstall has been reported as providing backing vocals on a song called "Under The Moonlight", while on a visit to the studio to watch the band recording, actor Ben Stiller, a fan, is said to have contributed a cowbell. "My Eyes" was debuted at an acoustic gig in Glasgow in aid of Cash For Kids in December 05. Some of the lyrics are "Welcome in, welcome in, shame about the weather. You will be wise. Pretty soon you will see tears in my eyes." Fran reveals: 'One of the new songs, "Three Times And You Lose", started out as a soundtrack which Andy had written called A Gig Too Far. That's what Neil said when he was being treated after his accident.' Two versions have been recorded and he describes it as sounding like 'The Eagles, but in a good way.' Fran adds: 'There's another song called "Eye Of The Needle", which Dougie and I knocked out between us. It's like a hymn written to be played at the funeral of a person who doesn't believe in God. It's all about an epiphany and where you go next. 'The lyrics are "At a glance I could see it like a needle in the hay, all our paths are all leading the same way. Through the eye of the needle we will pass, but till then, Amen." 'It's just about thinking about life, not death, and just celebrating life really.' On working with Brian Eno, Fran said "Out of the fourteen things, we came out with about four that are definitely sounding like they could be turned into something pretty cool," he explained, "We don’t have any track titles at the moment as they’re all just big pieces of music, but Neil named them all and one of them is called "Magpie" and one was called "Christmas Turkey Dinner"… Though I don’t know where that came from.”- Travis

Travis are going to lose some fans if they don't keep them up to date as to what is going on. They are leaving us all hanging without any info about their new album. Seriously rude.- Best News Item of the Week - Home Intruder Killed
and why not? what use does society have for some thug that would do this to a family of innocent people. the world is better off without him.- Best News Item of the Week - Home Intruder Killed
wow, you must have really thought that one out... seriously, you think that some thug wouldn't be able to get a gun because there were laws in place to prevent him from getting one? there is nothing wrong with private, law abiding citizens owning guns for the protection of their family and property. a suburb of of Atlanta, Kennesaw, passed a law about 10 years ago stating that every household in Kennesaw was to own a firearm; since that law was passed, the crime rate in Kennesaw has gone down 40%. - The official **KEANE** thread
