Only met you once but will never forget something you said... We were all enjoying a few beers at the beach after a couple of you went on a sunset tracking jump at Byron...after watching some birds landing and taking off you asked the question... "Do you think that birds ever want to put on human suits to see what it feels like to go for a walk?" It was a funny question that still sticks with me and even funnier when I try to picture it.

Thats true...just not enough blue for my liking :)... Off to the canadian immigration website!!!! Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

yes 3 million more people voted for the darkside but I still cant find it to be a true majority...overall its less than 1% of the population we need more people to get out and vote!!!! Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

To this day...my favorite jump is my very first one without instructors...I think thats the one that cemented the addiction an dI can still remember it vividly... About losing your breath, there is something to be said about things in life that take your breath away :) Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

bacon cheeseburgers (gotta love the grease) or steak and cheese pies...cant tell you how many times thoe have saved me Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

I think its really up to the parent and the kid. We put two four year olds up last summer and in the video they both loved it (I think the parents were more scared on their jumps). I know four is young but they were the right size and wanted to do it. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

Jennifer you are a legend

To answer your question directly, no I dont have an alternative plan to combat all terrorism, but that is something I have never suggested. I am commenting on the increasing violence, the seemingly endless cycle of viciousness and why arent we trying to understand where it is all coming from instead of reacting so quickly and violently. This would do both sides good. I believe the majority on either side want this needless loss of human life to end and might be willing to exhaust all options to do so.

Instead of jumping to emotional, violent reactionary measures, I think we need to take a step back and look at why it has come to this. Even if we put her murderers in jail or kill them, the problem is still there. I want to know where it comes from and how we can possibly try and change it through options other than violence.

My brother is training in the Navy right now and it is highly likely he will someday head off to war. No matter what my views, for or against the war I would never want him to be there think I didnt fully love and support him. Our soldiers are not policy makers. They are at the most basic level, doing their jobs. Yes they signed up and knew the potential risk but they deserve every ounce of our love and support.

LOL...thanks...off to the hardware store

I think we all agree that her death is horrible. I think we all agree we would never want someone to live through the fate of her or those before her. And I hope we all agree that we would exhaust ever option available to us to make it so no other human being arrives at such a fate. To defeat our enemy we must understand what drives them. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

No one said she deserved it, but why can we not step back and figure out why this is happening. The current smoke em out, shoot em up and drop 500lb bombs on them is not working. This is not an isolated incident, but an alarming pattern. We need to ask ourselves what drives another human being to kidnapp and behead/shoot in the head another human being, esp one who did nothing but good? What is making them so desperate and angry? What can we do to make unlikely that no other man or woman recieves such a fate? How do we stop the cycle? Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. -Dave Matthews

My heart broke too when I heard she was murdered and like many of you my faith in humanity led me to believe the terrorists would spare her life since she had devoted most of it to helping so many people. But as shocked as I am of her death, it scares me to read so many people and their violent reactions. I truly believe violonce only breeds more violence. We are watching it unfold everyday in Iraq. As the escalation grows, so do people's desperation and the lines of humanity become skewed. What will it take for someone to finally take a step back, look at the situation and try and truly (in a non reactionary way) assess how it got to be this bad. We can try and kill all the terrorists, but I guarantee we will never succeed. There will always be new people to continue this cycle of hate.
