I think it is good news, and a great song.

Maybe it will cheer you up also :)

Faith Hill Breathe.

4. Explain?

You have to have it in your heart, then someone 'pulling it' is just a muzzle flash and does not have an effect.

7. I mean the video actually didn't work.
Youtube pulled it because WMG music claimed their copyright.

11. It works for me.
If it does not for you, and it is shown as 'pulled' on your system, then there would be different Internets for different people proven.


Although attempts to remove good things is part of the scorching of the sky that many do to try to keep out better thoughts. They think in terms of limitations, and think they can remove better thoughts, when the purpose just gives muzzle flashes.

Although you could be joking.

Note if the video was really pulled for you and not me when you clicking on it, why would you be allowed to read the post I made about the video?

So the purpose is different then pulling videos :) Sounds like an attempt at despair doctrine. :rofl:

16. You are pointing out a potential assumption trap.

Your statement is a statement of some condition.

Although by personal observation that same statement is not true for me.

So is your statement true, or is it true that there is censorship of some things.


To believe your post, would be the same thing as to believe that things are censored, both would not be from personal observation.

It could be that what you say is not true, it could be that there is censorship for you to try and keep things posted from being seen and heard for you. Each would be picking a set of information to believe.

Great post, since it points out a common use of adding noise to thoughts.


Note I heard the sonic booms, and I am owed many good things and financing, so they will pay. Just like society is owed compassion and justice. One is personal observation, the other is what should happen outside of personal observation. Same conundrum.

6. This band played at my friend's birthday party...
This tune is called... Woman of Mass Destruction!

Christa is incredibly hot, and amazingly talented... her husband Rick isn't too shabby on the ax either.

If this doesn't bring a smile to your face, well, I just can't imagine...

17. They were Sky Saxon's last band...
Woolly Bandit is a name given to Sky by an old girlfriend.

Glad they piqued your interest. Hope you're feeling better.

10. Okay, this is the generic version
I spend part of my days looking for good news for my mother, who is 92, and confined to one chair the entire time she's awake. The good news there is that the chair is at our house, not in a nursing home, so it's easier for all of us to try to keep her entertained. We have, by the way, this year, discovered the books of Greg Mortenson, Maeve Binchy, and John Grisham. Mortenson is a sustained dose of good news all by himself. Mortenson shows how you can build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan funded only by donations from strapped Americans, including pennies from school children. These schools are educating a significant percentage of little girls from small villages who had not a hope of learning to read before Mortenson turned up with his Afghan and Pakistani henchmen. Also, the U.S. Army is trying to learn from Mortenson how to be half as successful as he has been at winning the hearts and minds of Afghans. His most recent suggestion is to remove 247 American soldiers from Afghanistan, at $1M per year, and give the money to the Afghan Minister for education. A beautiful mind, there.

So, although I have not located today's good news story yet, I will lay on you some good news that is generic, is happening all the time, and that nobody will report on because it contains neither blood, nor gore, nor excessively well paid people insulting each other.


The American people are alive, and well, and trying to improve the country and the system on which it runs despite some serious frustrations in communicating their needs and desires. Specifically, there have been several eloquent statements on American freedom of religion in the wake of some idiot saying we should move the mosque.

The American people are using the internet and the web not just to entertain themselves blind, but to educate and inform themselves about the world and the deficiencies of the mainstream media, which are many and severe. Education is always good--it's catching.

In many homes and hospitals across the land today, babies are being born, thus gladdening the hearts of their parents, grandparents, and extended families. Cunning little clothes and tiny footballs are being purchased, and great plans are being made for these kids. A few of these kids may cure cancer, or out Mozart Mozart. You just never know. If you think your child is musical, try to station a piano in your living room. This worked for Paul McCartney's father.

Well, that is a hasty and idiosyncratic list of ongoing good things. If you could be more specific about your definition of good news, I'll be glad to try to supply some better focused news.
