National Education Association Set to Endorse Homosexual Marriage
Teacher's union begins plans to promote homosexual marriage in public schools
The National Education Association is set to endorse homosexual marriage at their convention coming up in Orlando June 29 through July 6.
The new NEA proposal essentially says schools should support and actively promote homosexual marriage and other forms of marriage (two men and one woman, three women, two women and three men, etc.) in their local schools.
The new proposal, expected to pass overwhelmingly, is found under the B-8 Diversity paragraph:
The Association... believes in the importance of observances, programs and curricula that accurately portray and recognize the roles, contributions, cultures, and history of these diverse groups and individuals.
The Association believes that legal rights and responsibilities with regard to medical decisions, taxes, inheritance, adoption, legal immigration, domestic partnerships, and civil unions and/or marriage belong to all these diverse groups and individuals.
Translated, that means the NEA will promote homosexual marriage in every avenue they have available, including textbooks, to all children at all age levels and without the permission or knowledge of parents. Their plans will include every public school in America.

According to TV Guide
1. Star Trek 2. The X Files 3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer 4. Farscape 5. Monty Python's Flying Circus 6. The Simpsons 7. The Prisoner 8. The Twilight Zone 9. Xena: Warrior Princess 10. PeeWee's Playhouse 11. Mystery Science Theater 3000 12. Family Guy 13. Babylon 5 14. Beauty and the Beast 15. Quantum Leap 16. My So Called Life 17. The Avengers 18. Dr. Who 19. Dark Shadows 20. Twin Peaks 21. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman 22. H.R. Pufnstuf 23. Forever Knight 24. Absolutely Fabulous 25. Freaks and Geeks
I think it's rather a silly list, much, much too weighted towards recent shows, and ignoring older shows that had huge cult followings, such as Get Smart, I Spy, The Man From Uncle, Green Acres, etc. And it omits what might actually be the biggest cult show of all, Saturday Night Live.
Here is my list of the top shows.
Adam 12 Batman Green Hornet Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Andy Griffith Thunderbirds- I loved this show. Fireball XL-5 Space 1999 Gilligan's Island Happy Days Gigantor The Banana Splits Show The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams Land Of the Giants Star Trek Please Don't Eat the Daisies The Mod Squad Here comes The Brides Hogan's Heros
Well thats enough, of that.
I underlined the shows from each list I have watched at least a few episodes from. I can't believe they left off shows like Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ren and Stimpy, Johnny Quest.

1) The church has to preach the Word of God 2) the members have to be friendly. I don't mean gushingly hale and well met friendly, but more like welcoming. 3) members should be accepting. for example, our current church has an outreach to college students, so your usual student dosn't have a suit and tie. We welcome them anyway.

I can't believe I havn't replied to this already.
Anyway, Smokey is the name of our dog. It seemed better than some variation on my real name, and it dosn't give away any personal info. Besides with a name like smokey the dog, I can act in character sometimes.
WOOF!

So why can't you use your signon from the forums for the blog?
I regestered for the blog, and thinking they wanted my real name for the files, I entered it. To my dismay, it appears in the ifo block for the blog! So I cancelled. I want a blog for Smokey the dog not his master.
