New Theme Plus New Browsers
Posted on May 30, 2006 in Browsers Site News
The theme “Kickass Boxes in Gold” has been added to the list of themes. I am trying to figure out why it does not display the header information, so you php coders please raise your hands. I have a slightly different problem with a theme called Warm and Dry. Once again, php coders please check in!
Switching to one of the other browsers is easy. You go to their site, download the setup program, run it, and it appears on your desk top. Both Opera and Firefox can transfer your bookmarks from IE so you won’t lose what you have. Opera has a feed reader. I lean towards Opera simply because it has much better security. Both block popup ads. Either Opera or Firefox beats IE hands down. And both programs are FREE.
“In Honor of the Dead Still Living”
Posted on May 30, 2006 in Compassion War
Sometimes I wonder who was “luckier.”
Was it the guy in the thick of an attack, scared beyond his worst nightmare but doing his best despite the situation, who took a bullet between the eyes and perished in an instant?
Or was it the one that could never escape the demons? The one who still heard the blast of cannons, the whistle of mortar rounds, the screams of wounded, friendly and enemy alike? The one who came home, either to victory parades or protest marches, and could never fit back in? The one who kept fighting the demons, year-after-year, down a lonely road lined with pink slips, divorce decrees, arrest warrants, bottles and syringes?
Perhaps it is telling that instead of GIs killed on the field of battle, I know more ex-GIs who died by their own hand long after warfare “officially” ended but continued to rage in their tortured psyches.
