   IRAQ: WELCOME GENERATION-CHOICEMAKER

   Man is earth’s Choicemaker. He is by nature and
   nature’s God a creature of Choice – and of Criteria.
   His unique and definitive characteristic is, and of
   Right ought to be, the natural foundation of his
   environments, institutions, and respectful relations
   to his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom
   whose roots are in the Order of the universe.

    15-I sure did! I sent it out to K, PCD and back to you if you haven’t seen yet It’s going to come from my yahoo account, so you might not have recognized it!

    Sasha, I realized I don’t have your email address saved in any of the accounts I can access from here. I noticed you posted it but I couldn’t get to the site for a few minutes there for some reason, otherwise you would have been included in that email. I’ll make sure you get all the addresses too, if you haven’t already

    peejz? Where ARE you??

    Well, I gotta run to class again. Won’t someone just pay me to play on the computer all day??
