It's disturbing to see members of the British Armed Forces commit treason for the Iranian regime, via video and letters. The Blair government would have us believe that right? Too bad Bush's poodle has lost all credibility. What's peculiar about this "crisis?" The Ministry of Defence mandates that every servicewoman serve with at least one other servicewoman. Fourteen men and one woman does not equal 15 if thirteen men and two women also equals 15. Then there's the cigarette seen around the world. Shocking that someone addicted to early death would volunteer to be sacrificed for her country.

Sometimes I stare at the grass and appreciate the beauty of nature. I like to pull bark off trees and sniff it, occasionally snorting an ant or two. The coolness of the wind gives me the shivers. I dig shallow holes with my bare hands so that "dirty" will mean more than "unclean" to my soul.

It's difficult to defend the President's efforts to safeguard liberty now that his poll numbers are so low. Americans have a habit of becoming cranky once they see that the press ceases giving the nation's Leader at least a 4 out of 10. I don't blame my fellow citizens, the press has the loudest voice after all. But it is uncomfortable presenting an argument in an uncivil environment. That said, I explain why the criticism of the NSA-telecommunication company marriage is overblown.

The illegal immigration debate is heating up in the U.S.A. Some leading Democrats have suggested that anyone seen crossing the border illegally should be shot on the spot by border patrol agents, and strung up on any nearby cactus to warn others away. A Republican committee chairmain has endorsed the idea that companies which hire the illegals reward them with water and refried beans only. Talk radio hosts have demanded that English be forcibly administered to the illegals through earphones they're required to wear in public.

(Forgive the 2nd post in a day)
My professor says it's possible to do a breadth first tree traversal using the "list of children" approach, but I'm only able to do it with the "next sibling, next child" approach. Could any of you Husians (including communists) assist in completing f2 below? TIA

It would be an understatement to say that I was surprised when my girlfriend informed me that she's a hermaphrodite. Twice we had sex in the three years we've been together. Neither time was I able to see much since she preferred absolute darkness. I do recall however an act that may be peculiar. As I had seen in myriad pornographic films, it was the man who should guide his own magic wand into the warm, damp hat to reveal the white rabbit. Yet both times she had brushed my hand aside taking responsibility for the package. Was I escorted past security, I've been asking myself.

Being the voice of reasons that we are, we hope to persuade, sometimes condemn, and always debate those we disagree with. It is unfortunate that we have to abandon our principles.
