My uncle Henry passed away Friday.  It was sudden.  He was going to take a shower and collapsed.  He never made it to the hospital.

Henry Lee was my uncle and mentor.  There were many men that influenced me in my life, but Henry Lee was at the top.  Uncle Henry was a large man but was never an intimidating man.

He was also accepting of the differences in people.  He didn’t see differences as something to fear.  He saw them as things to understand.  People would wonder how he could see people they though of as "offensive" in a good light.  His answer was simple – you didn’t look hard enough.  There are members of our family (I know we’re not special in this regard) that
have always had the single ability and notoriety of being able to rile the other family members at gatherings.  So much so, that many family members wouldn’t allow them to come to their homes.  You never saw that at Uncle
Henry’s.  If you were family, you were always welcome. 
Many arguments would ensue about having certain people over.  Uncle Henry never cared and would remind you, you too were a welcome guest in his home as well.

He loved life and could always make me laugh.  I remember people would
say he laughed like a "rich man."  In many ways he was very rich.  He
had the love of his family to take care of him.

He believed in family, more so than his brother-in-law; my father.  Through thick or thin, up and down he and my Aunt Cherry were always able to
pull through.

He taught me that no matter what, family was family and as part of the family acceptance is the norm.

When he would talk to you about something that concerned him, you never had to worry about him being judgmental. He was accepting of who and what you are.

He was a genuine a man as you’d ever meet.

I only hope that when the day is done, I can be half the man he was.

I will miss you so much Uncle Henry. Especially where your stories of where “cool breezes” comes from!

God…if it’s a choice between Uncle Henry and myself for entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven — he’s the worthy choice.

I got this in an e-mail and thought it was good to post

A proposed 10-point non-interference plan, which should make the world happy!

Here’s the plan:

1. The US will apologize to the world for our “interference” in their affairs, past and present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini and the rest of them ‘good old boys’. We will never “interfere” again.
2. We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and Kosovo and leave them on their own. They don’t want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No more sneaking through holes in the fence.
3. All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We’ll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. Maybe the
   European Union would welcome them.
4. All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be allowed in. If you don’t like it there, change it yourself, don’t hide here. Asylum would not ever be available to anyone.
5. No “students” over age 21. If they don’t attend classes, they get a “D” and it’s “BACK HOME, BABY!”
6. The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non-polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7. Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don’t like it, we go someplace else.
8. If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not “interfere.” They can pray to whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides’ most of what we give them is stolen or given to their army. The people who need it most get very little, if any anyways.
9. Send the UN Headquarters some place else. We don’t need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, it would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10. All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us “Ugly Americans” any
    longer.

Now I have no idea who gets credit for this plan, but in all the rhetoric about “war is wrong” by the Peaceniks, I’ve yet to hear an alternative peace plan except to maintain the status quo. Things like “Books, not Bombs” won’t ever work in a culture where reading for the masses is FORBIDDEN!

Unfortunately, I had planned to past a really cool site called “The Sensible Erection,” but it was closed under the new and improved Homeland Security Law (yes…I said Homeland Security) for having Tranny (Transvestite) Porn included on it’s website.

OLYMPIA — A man spent hours chained to the wrong building Tuesday in an ill-planned effort to protest war with Iraq, police said. Jody Mason padlocked himself to an entrance of the Washington State Grange building at 924 Capitol Way S., thinking it was a sub-office of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Grange employees found him about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday and asked what he was doing.

He told employees he’d chained himself to the building in civil disobedience Monday night after listening to President Bush’s televised ultimatum to
Saddam Hussein.

Mason padlocked one end of the chain around his neck and the other to a door, which opens to a bottom-floor office. He told onlookers he was protesting Bush’s foreign and domestic policies. He had affixed a sign to
the building reading, “Reduce Deficit.”

Grange employees explained that he was at the wrong building. The Grange is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that advocates for residents in rural areas.

“I don’t think that’s ever happened before,” said Larry Clark, Grange communications director.

No charges

Police officers used heavy-duty bolt cutters to free Mason.

“He asked for help because he didn’t have the key,” Olympia police Cmdr. Steve Nelson said.

Mason wasn’t arrested and won’t face any charges. Officers let him go and didn’t take his name, Nelson said.

“He was our first protester since President Bush’s speech,” Nelson said.

Mason, who identified himself to a photographer, said he had looked up the Department of Energy in the phone book. The phone book, under the Department
of Energy, lists a Bonneville Power Administration Office at 924 Capitol Way S.

With all of this talk of impending war, many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating
against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror.

These activists may be alone or in a gathering…..most of us don’t know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.
2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the nose.
3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful.
4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.
5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct.
6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much harder. Square in the nose.
7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.
8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and
   must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost.

We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have no
choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in the nose.

Lesson over, class dismissed!

If you look at the origin of the word ‘Terrorism’ you might be suprised at a) where it came from and b) it’s history. So as they say at ‘Reading Rainbow’…

Have you noticed anything fishy about the inspection teams who have arrived in Iraq? They’re all men! How in the name of the United Nations does anyone expect men to find Saddam’s stash?

We all know that men have a blind spot when it comes to finding things. For crying’ out loud! Men can’t find the dirty clothes hamper. Men can’t find the jar of jelly until it falls out of the cupboard and splatters on the floor…and these are the people we have sent into Iraq to search for hidden weapons of mass destruction?

I keep wondering why groups of mothers weren’t sent in. Mothers can sniff out secrets quicker than a drug dog can find a gram of dope. Mothers can find gin bottles that dads have stashed in the attic beneath the rafters. They can sniff out a diary two rooms and one floor away. They can tell when the lid of a cookie jar has been disturbed and notices when a quarter inch slice has been shaved off a chocolate cake.

A mother can smell alcohol on your breath before you get your key in the front door and can smell cigarette smoke from a block away. By examining laundry, a mother knows more about their kids than Sherlock Holmes. And if a mother wants an answer to a question, she can read an offender’s eyes quicker than a homicide detective.

So… considering the value a mother could bring to an inspection team, why are we sending a bunch of old men who will rely on electronic equipment to scout out hidden threats?

My mother would walk in with a wooden soup spoon in one hand, grab Saddam by the ear, give it a good twist and snap, “Young man, do you have any weapons of mass destruction?” And God help him if he tried to lie to her. She’d march him down the street to some secret bunker and shove his nose into a nuclear bomb and say, “Uh, huh, and what do you call this, mister?” Whap! Thump! Whap! Whap! Whap! And she’d lay some stripes across his bare bottom with that soup spoon, then march him home in front of the whole of Baghdad. He’d not only come clean and apologize for lying about it, he’d cut every lawn in Baghdad for free for the whole damn summer.

Inspectors my behind… You want the job done? Call my mother!

While I’m undecided if war is really the answer (I’m still looking for more concrete eveidence myself), those people definately against military action have now gone to UNIQUE protesting methods. The Baring Witness Organization is committed to showing that women would choose to get naked for the sake of peace and justice — using the greatest weapon women have, the power of the feminine, the power of their beauty and nakedness to seduce our male leaders and stop them in their tracks. Their goal is to post at least one People in Peace photo from each of the 50 United States.
