Okay, so here's a website, and an article that to me seems to ask the questions any reasonable person might ask about Islam, and it addresses the fears that many Americans have concerning the practice of Islam in America.  It does not seem accusatory to me.  It seems pretty straightforward about the questions and concerns many Americans have.

(For some reason I can't paste the link in - but if you type "Citizen Warrior - A Message to Peaceful Muslims" in your search engine, you should be able to find it).

My latest post was ELIMINATED.  It did not contain any profanity.  It contained a reference to a website which people are free to go take a look or not.  A website that also did not contain any profanities, just thoughtful and fair questions, concerns and discussions.  Is censorship part of the "hope and change" we can expect to see in a "new" America?  I hope not.  I am pleading with the Chronicle to BE FAIR and OPEN-MINDED.

The Yellowstone Club is in court once again defending it's arse after their wildlife officer shot and killed a mother black bear on the property. It's all over the news that their first priority was to keep the incident under wraps because 1)It's illegal to kill a bear out of season,  2) It was an accident due to the fact that their wildlife officer didn't check his ammo before firing at the bear to haze it, 3) They lured the bear to their paintball field by using vegetable oil based paintballs, against good advice, and 4) They did not immediately attend to the welfare of the cubs after they killed the mother....

Once again, robbing us of our money to pay for something 71% of Americans are opposed to.  I find it extremely offensive.  http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67Q5BW20100827

I just thought that this was an interesting story.

Any opinions?

The following are headlines from today's online news from two major news outlets. I'm curious if you think that either (or both) of them appear (un)biased or if one or if one or the other seems like it promoting issues that are more important. For the sake of discussion try to not research the outcome and give your opinion.

News source #1:

Someone please tell me: What do you do when you and a wide range of coworkers see, based on both your own and their observations, that your company’s upper management is engaging in discriminatory and unfair work practices, lying to it’s employees,  and blowing mega-wads of money on frivolous items and activities while denying it’s employees raises for years? You tell it to your boss, right? What if you can’t go to your boss with it for a reason you can’t (shouldn’t) explain? You go to HR, right? What if you can’t go to HR because they're part of the corruption? When you can’t talk to your boss about it,...

and some of the surrounding areas including Grand Isles. Just getting started today--have always wanted to visit this city with all it's history and such so pretty excited. (although saddened that it happens under these circumstances:() Anyway, any of you folks have suggestions on must sees and does in the Big Easy?

Just askin.

It seems we are slow learners, do you see any oil, I don't see any oil; it must be gone.

The leak has been stopped, or has it? Are there other leaks? will the fix hold?

So, the Bush Tax cuts are scheduled to expire.

These tax cuts for people in higher income brackets were never paid for by either increasing taxes elsewhere or by cutting spending.

If the GOP is so serious about the debt/deficit, why are they clamoring for Obama to extend these tax cuts? (670 billion +-) And why are members of the Democratic party backing this viewpoint?...

Governments around the country are feeling the strain of budget pressures, and in Washington, at least, that strain is producing some strange alliances. Take Congressmen Ron Paul and Barney Frank: The libertarian Republican and the liberal Democrat co-wrote a piece for Huffington Post this past week that takes aim at a longtime budgetary sacred cow: U.S. military spending.

The unlikely pair want to trim the Pentagon's budget by $1 trillion over the next 10 years, significantly reducing U.S. military presence around...

Hi guys....I am new to this site and really friendly so please don't bash me too bad, okay?  lol  I was wondering if anyone would give me their honest insight on some things about Bozeman.  I have tried reseaching these things, but there are just so many mixed opinions out there.....I am just not sure what to think!  What is the weather like each season?   Also how well are the tourists received in Bozeman?    Do you think it would be a nice place to retire to?  Can you list  both negatives and positives of living in Bozeman? I understand there was a big boom...

Like soda machine out of change, Oil-bama keeps spitting the dollar of responsibility back.  When will this man truly become a President?  I mean this is getting ridiculous!  With ears like that he should be able to hear.  I guess he is just not listening.  He goes out to support Robin Carnahan of Missouri for Senate.  What do we get?  The same old song and dance from the Presidential campaign, 18 months ago.

Hi all,

I'm appealing to the community here because I will soon be moving out of town and I need a good property management company to manage my townhouse while I'm out of town. I've already got renters moved in and I basically just need someone to collect rent and handle any emergencies that might come up while I'm gone. I'll be in Portland, OR, so it will be a little tough for me to be a landlord from that far away and I don't really want to rely on my friends to manage it for me....

This is more than a little confusing, but at least it wasn't an interview w/ Rolling Stone.
