A POW for Over Three Years Now

Few if any Americans are aware that there is a POW in the Iraq War and he has been in enemy hands unquestionably having endured incalculable torture for over three years now. Lets hope that very soon Keith Maupin of Ohio is found and can return to his family and have a good life after the unimaginable horrible ordeal he is undergoing.

Rising Seattle Skyline to Block Safeco Views

Although I have yet to attend a game at Safeco Field in Downtown Seattle, others who have tell me the views from the upper decks of the Puget Sound area, the Olympic Mountains, and the existing downtown Seattle skyline, particularly at night, are spectacular. Now news comes from the Emerald City that those magnificent sights may not be around too much longer as progress marches on.

A Lost Ballpark in San Diego & My Idea to Restore It

The great old historical ballparks that were part of the Pacific Coast League during its glory days from the 1930s until the Major Leagues had franchises relocated to California or expansion occurred are truly lost treasures and historical landmarks. This article about Lane Field in San Diego is about just one of those old ballparks of yore. I would like to see in a perfect world the ballpark restored for community activities and just play for kids. The field could be put on the roof of a five to ten story building and be a real landmark for San Diego. The views from a ballpark of the surrounding downtown and coastal areas would be breathtaking. The facility could be used for such things as concerts, parties, gatherings, meetings, and other activities for kids. I hope someone has the vision to make this an exciting reality.

Predatory Corporate Capitalism -- The Greatest Evil Facing Americans Citizens and Their Children

I can never say or be firm enough in my strong convictions about the absolute widespread destruction that Corporate America and their government hacks and muscle have done, are doing, and will do in the future to what America is supposed to be all about and what America is supposed to represent. The betrayal and treachery by the corporacy all in the name of greed, power, arrogance, and repressiveness is the epitome of evil and at the root of all problems facing the citizenry.
