ezs note: If you live in Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and Waterbury. Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people an email.

Thanks.

ezs note: I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air. Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap. We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time). Look for :
