I will hold true to the love that used to bind me and gonzo. he may rail and raise his fist to the heavens in denial, i shall not falter. through his threats and anger, my faith in the love will prevail!
Know now, people of this board, my trust in the love will not fail!
the wheel of our love may have turned, but it shall turn again, and when it does I shall be there, standing tall, arms open. This do i proclaim to be true!

So..
I found out today, that I will be contacting a Lawyer and probably filing a lawsuit against the previous owners of my house.
I received notification today that I am included in a Class Action Lawsuit against Delphi Corporation for leaking dangerous cancer causing chemicals into the groundwater in my area.
Per these documents, people who lived on this street were notified by Certified mail from Delphi that these chemicals were in the ground. These documents were dated February 9th, 2004. 3 Months before the close of the sale to me. Delphi was ordered to notify anybody affected. According to the information I read today, the previous owners were mandated by law to disclose this information to any potential buyers before the close of sale. Not a single word was ever said by them or their agent.
I also found out that because these cancer causing chemicals are in the ground water, it lowers the value of my home by at least 20%.
So not only will I be taking part in the class action lawsuit against Delphi, but I will also be sueing the previous owners of this house for defrauding me in the sale of the home.

Anyone here know how to burn avi files to a dvd so that a dvd player can read it?
I looked around the net and couldn't seem to find anything that explained it easy so I thought I'd ask over here.

i pulled the ripcord too soon. the guy strapped to my back told me when he shows me the altimeter to pull, and i did but it was about 3,000 feet too soon.
it was a pretty amazing experience but i think i would enjoy it much more the next time. i was too scared shitless to really be able to take it all in.

Unifying the Church
By A Real Goober
Staff Writer
As Cardinals from around the globe meet in the secret conclave to elect the next pope, a religious debate has arisen about how to unify Christians in the United States and the world. As someone who grew up under the Baptist and Catholic traditions I can personally identify with this struggle.
During his life, Pope John Paul II worked effortlessly to reach out to people of all faiths, including those of the various denominations of the church. In fact, many have argued that that no other religious leader in recent history has done so much to reach out to people of all faiths or within their own religious community. However, when one examines US churches there are deep divisions.
It is often said there is no more segregated places in the US on Sunday mornings then churches. There are “Black” churches, “White” churches, “Korean” churches, “Hispanic” churches, Lutheran churches, Episcopalian churches Pentecostal churches, Baptist churches, Greek Orthodox churches, Roman Catholic churches, and hundreds of other churches that separate Christians by race, nationality, ethnicity, denomination, and other factors. While I do not propose that such distinctions are unimportant, as these distinctions can help those who do not speak English or cannot identify with the culture of existing churches. However, I do not believe that such distinctions serve the greater good of Christianity as a whole.
Christians no matter what denomination, nationality, race, or ethnicity they are share the idea that Christ is at the head and the center of the church. Furthermore, (barring additional texts and slight moderations) all Christian churches share the Bible, and its teachings.
In a discussion I had with a IVCF about he church, I was told Christ did not shed his blood for 70 percent of Whites, 12 percent of blacks, 50 of Catholics, 2 percent of Pentecostals, or any other group. However, Jesus shed his blood for all who would accept him; and therefore, accept the Father (God). Why then do we as Christians argue that one church is better then the other and create division within our church (Christianity as a whole)? I am not a black Christian, or a Baptist Christian, or a Catholic Christian – I am a Christian period.
Similarly, this idea can be applied to Christian worldwide. I am not arguing that distinction such as language and culture should be ignored, but that they should be used a tool to separate Christians globally. A Christian in France should be proud that his church teachings are taught in French, but he or she should not use this as a tool to downplay the language or traditions of a Christian in Brazil. Such arguments underplay the teachings of the churches.
Ultimately, I argue that Christians should not let distinctions such as language, race, ethnicity, denomination, and other factors divide the church. I believe Pope John Paul II’s initiative to reach out to all Christians worldwide should serve as a model for healing divisions within the church. His death should not symbolize sadness, but should stand as a symbol of hope and optimism for the future. In this same spirit, it is my hope and my prayer that Christians worldwide can work together to unify the church. If not how can the Christian community criticize the ills of the world when it does not even recognize the problems within its own church?
