"DU? What's that?" I've heard when I mentioned the forum to friends.
And I say that's our great forum where 15 yr. old Ava posts.
You're becoming more and more famous.

Your great work makes us proud.
Thank you.

15. Oh, we’re big rock singers...

We got golden fingers.
And we’re loved everywhere we go.
We sing about beauty,
And we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show.
We take all kinds of pills
To give us all kind of thrills,
But the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone...
Wanna see my picture on the cover.
Stone...
Wanna buy five copies for my Mother.
Stone...
Wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

I got a freaky old lady
Named Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders all my jeans.
Got my poor old grey-haired daddy
Drivin’ my limousine.
It’s all designed to blow our minds,
But our minds won’t really get blown
Like the blow that’ll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

We gotta lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say.
We got a genuine Indian guru
Who’s teaching us a better way.
We got all the friends that money can buy,
So we never have to be alone.
And we keep getting richer,
But we can’t get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone.

16. Way to go ! ! ! We are so very proud to know you here ! ! !

I know you have taken so much flak from the wingnuts about your messages, but you've been so brave about continuing to speak up in your own special way - and in my mind, you remind millions of other Americans that a free society is only protected by a willingness to contribute every voice. I am really so proud of your unique messages - you express them with an originality and a simplicity that touches so many people.

You rock..!! !!

Wow. At your age I was sneaking cigarettes in the school bathroom and only concerned about my boyfriend du jour. You have SO much more on the ball than I ever did, or for that matter, any of my friends at that age.

Your parents must crazy with pride...and so are we!!

And the special guest speaker for the day was...........Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld!!!

""During the past few years, I have heard many say that our veterans should just move forward and get on with their lives because the war has long been over. To them I say, that as long as we keep adding names to The Wall, like the four that will be dedicated on Monday, the war will never be over. As long as our veterans have to fight for benefits they have earned by serving our nation, the war will never be over. Until every POW/MIA has been accounted for and brought back to the United States, the war will never be over and until Jane Fonda is truly remorseful for her actions, the war will never be over."
