Is it antisocial to protest war and demand peace NOW ! Does that father ever want his child to die? Does he want any child to die?



Is it antisocial to protest war and mean it !?!?

The sign reads, "Be Nice - No Hitting ! Peace Now.

Is it antisocial to demand knowledge to override emotion ? To demand proof before deaths are rendered? Is it antisocial to be responsible?

On December 7, 2002, Iraq submitted its 12,000 page declaration, which claimed that it had no current WMD programs. Intelligence analysts from the United States and other nations immediately began to scrutinize the document, and senior U.S. officials quickly rejected the claims. (Note 2)

Over the next several months, inspections continued in Iraq, and the chief inspectors, Hans Blix (UNMOVIC) and Mohammed El Baradei (IAEA) provided periodic updates to the U.N. Security Council concerning the extent of Iraqi cooperation, what they had or had not discovered, and what they believed remained to be done. During that period the Bush administration, as well as the Tony Blair administration in the United Kingdom, charged that Iraq was not living up to the requirement that it fully disclose its WMD activities, and declared that if it continued along that path, "serious consequences" - that is, invasion - should follow.

The trigger for military action preferred by the British government, other allies, and at least some segments of the Bush administration, was a second U.N. resolution that would authorize an armed response. Other key U.N. Security Council members - including France, Germany, and Russia - argued that the inspections were working and that the inspectors should be allowed to continue. When it became apparent that the Council would not approve a second resolution, the United States and Britain terminated their attempts to obtain it. Instead, they, along with other allies, launched Operation Iraqi Freedom on March 19, 2003 - a military campaign that quickly brought about the end of Saddam Hussein's regime and ultimately resulted in his capture.

Is saving an endangered species antisocial? This is a Blue Whale. Is it antisocial to care about a disappearing whale species?




The chief flenser seen on the back of the whale has made the first cut to remove the blubber blanket - the name given to the great sheet of fatty tissue that effectively wraps the whale. This serves as an enormous food store and also insulates the whale against the icy cold Antarctic seas, unfortunately though, what is so valuable to the whale is also its downfall as it is also so valuable to man.

"Antisocial"

I don't like papers and reading books
Gettin' bored now, thinkin' it sucks
I don't wanna listen to another word
I'm so bleedin' bored

I'm anti-social
An-ti-so-cial
An-ti-so-cial
I hate the world


I don't wanna go to work another day
I wanna be somebody
I don't wanna wear no dinner suit
I don't wanna family



I'm anti-social
An-ti-so-cial
An-ti-so-cial
I hate the world

I ain't gonna be no rich man's tool
I ain't gonna cut my hair
Gonna wear boots and a short-haired crop
Watch the train



I'm anti-social
An-ti-so-cial
An-ti-so-cial
I hate the world

Walking 'round the streets and wondering what to do
( ? )
I ain't got no money or a set of wheels
It's such a drag
Lookin' at the posers and their flashy cars
I'm just walkin' round
Their gonna ( ? ) have some kids
I ain't gonna settle down



I'm anti-social
An-ti-so-cial
An-ti-so-cial
I hate the world

Enhanced Infrared Satellite GOES East.

The Enhanced Infrared Satellite paints a very different picture than the Water Vapor Satellite below. However, traces of the Mid-Atlantic Tropospheric depression is noted here in a faint outline.

The increase in the Caribbean Sea is significant and very early in the season.

There is a huge storm in the middle of the Atlantic but it isn't called a hurricane? I guess not, but, it sure is to me. I can't help it if it's a hemispheric size hurricane. It's still an atmospheric event that is building dynamics with rotation. Don't know what the wind speeds are. I am sure it isn't enough to even classify it as a tropical storm, but, it is a depression. There is no doubting that.
