Here's a little experiment in social software. I've been talking with Jack Bury, a 20-year-old American poet living in Amsterdam, who is part of a tiny start-up trying to get some traction for "Eyebees," a Microsoft IE add-in. (It'll be open sourced eventually.) The add-in puts a frame on the left of your browser that shows you up to 200 little dots (Eyebees), each representing another person in the "swarm" you've joined. Their relative position shows which pages they're currently viewing. If a few people are each looking at, say, Doc's blog, then you'll see the five Eyebees clustered together; clicking on any of them loads the page they're looking at. You can also send a message to any of the Eyebees visible in the panel. Cool idea. So, Jack is proposing that at noon EST tomorrow (Friday), we do a "peace swarm," i.e., a bunch of people who are sorry about the war we've started will all click on the appropriately-named swarm at www.eyebees.com and we'll browse around together. So, if you wanna hang out for a bit tomorrow, download the software and join the swarm. And now for the main question this raises to me: Why can't I be a 20-year-old poet living in Amsterdam? Please?

A new book A Deadly Fog: Pith and Conflict, portrays war in its various manifestations, historically and as we witness war around the world, today such as in Iraq. Through stories, essays, poems and importantly art, it draws the reader through the voice of the poet and the eye of the artist in a relentless expression of how war brings whole societies to their knees, killing, maiming and displacing thousands of people, both civilian and combatant. Based partly on first hand experience and oft-heard narratives, the authors have endeavored to describe human emotion at the deepest levels of loss and longing. The work has been thoughtfully written so that although the subject is disturbing, the treatment is neither gruesome nor in poor taste. A Deadly Fog combines surrealism, realism, satire and irony set into a backdrop of unimaginable sacrifice, cruelty, and hubris, not as a paean to honor war, but to argue against its glorification. Its authors inspire others to raise their voices in protest against war as solution to problems in integration, poverty (starvation, sickness), natural resources (water, oil and land) and political ideology. It’s a good read. The book previews at:

Subject: will Israel pick our president for us again??
NEXT PUPPET PICKED FOR ISRAEL'S ANNEXED GOVERNMENT !!
How our kids get left behind.
Israelis: We Want Giuliani President
ISRAEL, AIPAC, & MOSSAD PICK THEIR CANDIDATE, FOR THE NEXT
PUPPET, THEY WILL FORCE ONTO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE :
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is the "best" candidate in the 2008 race for Israel relations, a panel of eight Israeli experts assembled by the Israel's Haaretz newspaper has determined.
According to Haaretz, Giuliani tops the list among likely U.S. candidates for the White House. Giuliani is followed by two Republicans - former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Arizona Sen. John McCain
WILL WE EVER HAVE A COUNTRY OF OUR OWN AGAIN. (AMERICANS FOR AMERICA )
ASK WHY OUR CANDIDATES CAMPAIGN IN ISRAEL, WHY DO THEY NEED ISRAELS ENDORSEMENT. IS IT NOT OBVIOUS ??
The National USA Debt to the Penny and Who Holds It
( Debt Held by the Public vs. Intragovernmental Holdings )
Current Debt Held by the Public Intragovernmental Holdings Total Public Debt Outstanding
02/08/2007--4,927,587,830,502.69--3,786,124,749,634.98-- 8,713,712,580,137.67 .
In 2005, Israel received $360 million in economic aid and $2.22 billion in military aid. In 2006, economic aid is scheduled to be reduced to $240 million and military aid will increase to $2.28 billion. It has been getting $3 billion a year for years.
While 37 million live below poverty level. 82 million Americans
with out health care. Quality of education given in the US system is far below acceptable standards, ...,20 million illegal immigrants, with an unacceptable high crime rate. Our elderly
living in sub-standard conditions. Health care at its worse ever.
Our government is the most corrupt ever--both sides of the isle.
Organized crime involvement to the very top of our officials.
We have watched the human rights violations committed by ISRAEL,
for years, 67 UN resolutions go unresolved because of USA intervention on Israels behalf.
We have spent $690 Billion & climbing, over 3000 of our finest
young men & women killed, 30,000 seriously injured, in Iraq war,
a war conceived in Israel, for their interest. Now they push and
manipulate more false intelligence, for us to attack Iran.
THESE are only part of the facts. This is not antisemitism,
it is plain PRO-AMERICAN FOR A CHANGE.
WE NEED COMPLETE CHANGE IN EVERY STEP & LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT.
COMPLETE REFORM, AND FOR AMERICAN INTEREST ONLY. NOT ISRAEL,
MEXICO, IRAQ, OR ANY-OTHER GLOBALIZATION "NEW WORLD--ORDER".
If you really want your blood to boil, examine foreign trade,
and all deficits.
IT IS TIME FOR THE TAX FREE TO PAY, AND CUT ALL FOREIGN AID
"WASTE"..
THE ONLY CHANCE I SEE FOR IT TO BEGIN IS WITH EDWARDS--OBAMA
OR OBAMA --EDWARDS 2008. JUST A BEGINNING OF REFORM.FOR
AMERICANS.......
WE HAVE A MANDATE OF "CUT & RUN" FROM ISRAEL,AND THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST. We do not have friends and allies
there, only American Blood, Money, and
Corrupt profits FOR & by the "electus".
MY !! OH MY !! HOW THE HEARTS & MINDS OF THE WORLD HAVE CHANGED.
EVEN IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. JUST WHO
WILL YOU THANK FOR IT.??
FROM ISRAEL'S ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY ON :
WHY DID ISRAEL KILL KENNEDY.
1) PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS THE FIRST AND LAST CATHOLIC PRESIDENT.
2) HITLER WAS A CATHOLIC, AND IS BELIEVED HE HAD CATHOLIC SUPPORT
IN THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAMPAIGN.
3) In Ben-Gurion's eyes, John F. Kennedy was an enemy of the Jewish people and his beloved state of Israel." He continues, "The 'nuclear option' was not only at the very core of Ben-Gurion's personal world view, but the very foundation of Israel's national security policy."
4) Kennedy's decision that he would make America his top priority in regard to foreign policy, and not Israel!
5) Ben-Gurion was convinced that Israel needed nuclear weapons to insure its survival, while Kennedy was dead-set against it.
6) Ben-Gurion, obsessed by this issue, slipped into total paranoia, feeling that Kennedy's obstinance was a blatant threat to the very existence of Israel .
7) Ben-Gurion, wanted the Kennedy Administration to sell them offensive weapons, particularly Hawk missiles, Kennedy refused.
(Look at what they have now).
8) Mossad is the most ruthless and efficient intelligence agency in the world, it is peculiar that they were never scrutinized in relation to the Kennedy assassination.
(but then look at Johnsons heritage)
9) Israel's Mossad was a primary (and critical) behind the scenes player in the conspiracy that ended the life of JFK,through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the opportunity, and it had the motive to play a major frontline role in the crime of the century - and it did." check out
the history of Meyer Lanski,and
connection to Israel.
Drug and Gambling money, that helps support Israel to include today.
10) Is it no wonder, with the corruption with-in our government
today, who, what & why Israel
supports.
11) Ben-Gurion was so convinced that Israel's very survival was in dire jeopardy that in one of his final letters to JFK he said, "Mr. President, my people have the right to exist, and this existence is in danger."
Ben-Gurion resigned on June 16, 1963, he was so enraged at John F. Kennedy he commanded the Mossad to become involved in a plot to kill America's president.
No American president was more concerned with the danger of nuclear proliferation than John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Now look
at how , due to the fear of Israel
by more recent presidents, how
much control "ISRAEL" has over
us.
In 1968, Robert Kennedy ran for President on the Democratic ticket.
Robert Kennedy was shot to death by a young Jerusalem-born Muslim named Sirhan Bishara Sirhan.
If the young Kennedy was to be despised for helping to end the arms embargo as the Attorney General, how much more would he be a problem as the President?
Robert didn't exert at least some influence on Peres' behalf to allow Israel to acquire the Hawk.
Now skip ahead, Mossad false intelligence, tp pre-empt attack on Iraq.
More being staged to do the same to Iran??
My friends it is time, we take our country back. We need another
president with the preception of
JFK. (AND) the guts to stand on
such principals.
WHAT SHOULD "WE" BE DOING FOR OUR COUNTRY ????????
There is no statute of limitations on murder!!
