1. 'Konstantine' by Something Corporate - This is the most beautiful song that has ever been written. I can not describe the feeling you get when you listen to this song, it is almost 10 minutes long, but you can't stop listening to it, and it is not at all repetative. I went and saw them in concert, and they said they don't mind people sharing their music, and since you can't buy this song anywhere except Japan... here it is for download (22mb!), dedicated to my first love Nicole, a song about losing a love that you'll never forget.
2. 'Simon' by Lifehouse - A song that describes how I felt as a teenager, always beat down by people who had no feelings or care about others. Taken advantage of, but to weak to stop it. But, most important, always full of love. "Fulfillment to their lack of strength, at your expense, left you with no defense, they tore it down." and "the fearful always prayed up your confidence, didn't they see the consequence, they pushed you around..." finally "don't believe the lies that they have told to you, ya not one word was true, YOU'RE ALLRIGHT! and I have felt the same, as you, I have felt the same, as you..."
3. 'Emotionaless' - Good Charlotte - Losing the father from my life was tough, but he choose it for himself. This song is an amazing, because it describes a lot of how I feel. I don't understand how my father could live with the man that he is, or more pointedly, the man he isn't...
4. 'Welcome to My Life' by Simple Plan
- This is my most recent song that has touched me, specificly because of Pam being deployed. My world seems so bleak and dismal sometimes. "You don't know what it's like to be like me, to be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark, to be kicked, when you are down, to feel like you have been pushed around, to be on the edge of breaking down and no ones there to save you...."
5. 'Believe' - Yellowcard - First off I recommend this entire album! But this song is so touching, so motivating... "I want to hold my wife when I get home, I want to tell the kids I'll never know, how much I'd love to see them smile... I want to make a change right here, right now, I want to live a life like you somehow, I want to make your sacrafice worthwhile!"

1. All nuclear materials remain highly toxic for thousands of years.
false -Some radioisotopes have-lives of seconds or days, while others like plutonium-239 has a half-life of 2.4 x 104 years.

2. Man-made radiation is more toxic to humans than naturally occurring radiation even if the dose is the same.
false - The body makes no distinction; it sees radiation as deposited energy regardless of its source.

3. The human body has the capability to repair damaged caused by exposure to radiation.
true - Many of the DNA lesions induced by ionizing radiation are similar to identical to those induced as a consequence of normal metabolic activity. DNA repair mechanisms can act to reduce the consequences of this damage.

4. In the US, most cases of cancer in humans are known to be caused by man-made radiation.
false - Most cancers have an unknown cause or etiology.

5. I would rather live within a 50 mile radius of a coal-burning plant than a nuclear power plant.
false - Actually a coal burning plant gives off slightly more radioactivity due to the thorium and uranium content in coal. But in both cases the levels are extremely low.

6. One of the chief dangers from nuclear power plants is that they can explodelike a nuclear bomb.
false - There's a big difference between a nuclear core and a nuclear bomb. After detonation, the density of uranium (or plutonium) atoms in a bomb is incredibly high, enough for fissions to take place and energy to be released in a hundred millionth of a second! So it flies apart. The density of atoms in a nuclear core is much less, and, even in a meltdown situation would generate heat at a much slower rate than is necessary to fly apart. The act of meltdown actually terminates the explosive process, because when a core "melts down" it spreads out and goes sub-critical.

7. It is safer to drive behind a tanker truck carrying gasoline than a truck load of spent nuclear fuel.
false - People occasionally die in gasoline truck accidents, but the DOE and the nuclear industry claim that no one has died or been hurt by a radiation release due to a nuclear waste transportation accident.

8.On average, people are exposed to more radiation from nuclear power plantsthan from radon gas in homes.
false - An individual gets about 200 millirems of radiation per year from naturally occurring radon. A normally functioning nuclear power plant exposes a person to about .01 millirem, if the person lives within 50 miles of the plant.

9.Since the construction of the first nuclear power plant, man-made radiation in known to have resulted in new species of plants and animals.
false - New species don't occur any more frequently today than before nuclear plants were built.

10. The fact that nuclear power plants have elaborate evacuation plans for the surrounding area indicates they are inherently more dangerous than other types of plants.
false - Evacuation plans have only been around since 1980 and are an example of "regulatory ratcheting" by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Other countries do not have these plans. Chemical plants do not have evacuation plans even though evacuations in their vicinity are more likely to be necessary than around a nuclear power plant. Most evacuations are due to rail or truck accidents involving toxic chemicals.

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR BUSH?! PLEASE LISTEN TO THE FACTS!

1. Bush and Cheney arrest people for disagreeing with them
2. The unemployment rate in November of 2000 was %4.0. The rate for September of 2004 was %5.4.
3. The National Debt in December of 2000 was $5.62 trillion, still a hefty number. But, its now almost hitting $7.4 trillion?!
4. The National Deficit at the end of 2000 was... nonexistant. We had a surplus of $236 billion. Now its around $415 billion in the hole, which is supposed to be a record.
5. One could point out that under Clinton the debt only went up by $1.4 trillion in 8 years. Under Bush it went up $2 trillion in 4 years. Do we want another $2 trillion in debt over the next 4?
6. their plan for ensuring they do not reach the debt ceiling is to raise the debtceiling?
7. America's fiscal position has deteriorated fast during George Bush's presidency. It will not be easy to reverse
8. the White House griped that various pay-and-benefits incentives added to the 2004 defense budget by Congress are wasteful and unnecessary -- including a modest proposal to double the $6,000 gratuity paid to families of troops who die on active duty.
9. Failure to provide adequete armor to the troops
10. Awarded Haliburton contract, then to show their respect they serve the troops "rotting meats ... and vegetables"
11. Bush White House cut by nearly two-thirds an emergency request for counterterrorism funds by the FBI
12. Bush economic report praises 'outsourcing' jobs
13. Pledging a "jobs and growth" package would create 1,836,000 new jobs by the end of 2003 and 5.5 million new jobs by 2004—so far the president has fallen 1,615,000 jobs short of the mark.
14. A LIST of promises made about education, and broken by Bush
15. Bush hid costs of his Medicare package
16. Opposing legislation that would require greater fuel efficiency for passenger cars.

• Hatch on having subserviant women
• On Software Piracy
• Hatch says when he told fellow Republicans at their state convention two months ago that they should be proud of their party because “we don’t have the gays and lesbians with us,” he didn’t intend the comment to sound prejudicial. The Utah lawmaker was just pointing out that “gays and lesbians, by and large, are very intelligent, highly educated, high-earning people, who support mainly Democrats.” Hatch said he resents any implication that he is intolerant.
