The Main Point by Michael Main

Just suffered thru the movie "Ali". Didn't realize it was in real time. The story of the most exciting athlete in history which Hollywood managed to make into a three hour epic of suffering. Makes me want to put my head in a George Foreman grill.

French Alert!! I'm glad we've resolved this issue

News Flash:Human Shields take off their foil helmets and get glimpse of reality:

From UPI:
A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese human shield volunteers made it across the border today with 14 hours of uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government minders present. Kenneth Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told UPI the trip "had shocked me back to reality." Some of the Iraqis he interviewed on camera "told me they would commit suicide if American bombing didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head."

The battle for Iraq is taking our troops over what's believed to be the area where the Garden of Eden was.

Apparently there was stilll one bad apple there.

Aw shucks...shock and awe.
The Canadians are booing the American National Anthem. Liz Taylor is defending Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi people are cheering as American forces move in. What's wrong with this picture?

I can almost understand the youthful peace protests. If you can't be stupid when your 17 when can you be? I can understand the protesters in San Francisco...they live in a communist community. The rest of 'em, in my mind, are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. We're at war... there are no "sides" to choose. Our country is at war. You either support our country or you don't.

When did I become a redneck? Not exactly a spiritual question. Speaking of which here's something to chew on.

Lasers painting buildings in Iraq that are then slammed by 40 cruise missiles..high tech weaponry that automatically returns fire and Iraq lobs a few ill aimed Scud missiles, at least two of which land harmlessly in the desert. Saddam is talking about swords and we're hitting them with missiles.

This war may be the technological equivilent of beating up your little sister.

The first casualty...a peace protester.

Some of the protesters are no longer losing their clothes but they're losing their lunch.

10 hours and counting...

The Iraqis remain defiant in public saying they'll be "martyred" with Saddam (how's that for an optimistic stance?), yet there are all these reports of Iraqi military leaders saying they're preparing to rollover once the bombs drop. Almost feels like we're going to fight the French.

I know I'm breathing easier knowing the Oscars are going to go on as scheduled Sunday... what a relief that is...

My question: which will last longer the war with Iraq or the Academy awards ceremony?

The peace protesters are still not swaying me. At least THIS GUY kept his clothes on...still looked like a butt though.

Code Orange! Code Orange! Sorry...it sounds like a bad soft drink to me...

My current bet for when the missiles fly is 2:23 p.m. Central time on Thursday..

What's important hits home...one of my many bosses who has been obsessed with war preparations has now rushed out of town. His father is dying. Some things you can never prepare for...

The State Senate in Tennessee has passed a bill making it illegal to watch porn on your dashboard television set if it's visible from the street. Is this really a problem? I always thought the scenery in Tennessee was pretty, but I guess it could become mundane after a while....

Scientists at Rice University say the air in and around Houston contains tiny bits of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It's the result of thousands of Texans cooking meat on their barbecue grills. Today's forecast: Cloudy with a chance of ribs.

"When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come"

Looks like we're on the brink....enough talking...time to act. I know this is serious stuff. I know there are dire consequences. However, when push comes to shove, I personally have only one goal for this war...to free the men of Iraq from having those cheesy mustaches.

"What if Jesus came back like that?"

I initially read this story and laughed, "Great, God is here speaking like one of those "Billy Bob singing trouts". How could anyone think God would reveal Himself through a 20 pound carp?

Now I'm wondering what form God would have to take to get our attention where we wouldn't laugh or doubt it.
Say He took over all the TV sets. Wouldn't a good percentage of folks think that was merely some form of high tech wizardry or maybe a prank by a 14 year old computer hacker?
Take over the radio broadcasting frequencies? Surely that could be just some government conspiracy.

He could shout at us from the clouds...most of us would probably say we didn't hear anything and then double our medication.

Do we need to look to the clouds or listen to fish to hear from God? Can't we just look at and listen to each other?

I think most of time it's not God hiding from us...it's the other way around.
