Well, the Cubbies lost two of three to the D-Backs. It kills me to think that in two three-game series so far with the D-Backs this season, the Cubs have only won one game in each series. And the D-Backs are in last place in their division. Aye aye aye.

Speaking of Cubbies, I will be going to two games this season (thus far) and, oddly enough, neither of them are at Wrigley Field. The first will be in Anaheim, California against the Angels and the second will be in Milwaukee against the Brewers. Cubbies tix ain't too easy to come by these days.

So sad I can't say the same about the people who rule you. too bad you can't have canadian politicians running the place.

Thanks Ric. Although I cannot say that I don't hate some of the people in my own country. I do agree on the idea that we need to loosen up a bit and I think that probably should start with the FCC and Congress. Talk about having broomsticks shoved up their asses sideways.

Actually, both the Japanese and Americans have admitted that if the bombs weren't dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the continued fighting and the napalm attacks would have resulted in much higher death tolls among Japanese soldiers/civilians and American soldiers than the bombs did. Some Japanese have gone so far as to say that the bombs saved them because their government was willing to fight to the very end and had even already armed civilians to fight back. Everyone was expendable. I know this sounds like U.S. propagandizing, but it was even stated by Japanese officials. Does this warrant the bombing? I dunno. With how much land and people were being wiped out by napalm attacks, I'm afraid to think of what Japan would be like today if the fighting had continued on the scale it was.
