That's getting ahead of yourself by about a week.06/30/08 tierra:http://buyhomefree.com/06/09/08 Russ Shaw:I see the myth of 'prevention' has permeated another venue. Life and living is a dynamic process and we can make things happen but have little success in 'preventing' things from happening. Look at what has happened with the "war on poverty" and the "war on drugs", both of these ideas assume a flat eath and a linear process of cause and effect. Now, if we would empower our children to be responsable for their lives and to design, organize and operate in a way to have the life they choose, that would be truly transformational. A transformation occurs in a moment, as when I gave up my opinion of my self as "an ignorant, poor farm boy" and took the direction of my spiritual leader, Major Joseph S. Grimm and applied for Officer Candidate School in 1957. When Ike made me a lieutenant in the USAF, I was no longer at the effect of the great depression and my histoy. OCS did not prevent us from becoming bums but empowered us to be leadrs and to prevail in ending the domination of would-be dictators who like to control peopl. Russ Shaw, MA, Lt. Col., USAF(Ret) Aurora, Colorado 303-440-787705/23/08 Bruce Hill:I joined today, however having probelms viewing articles. Thank you. Bruce Hill05/16/08 Ray Bemis:While browsing through Youth Today, October 2007, I was appalled to see in "A Resource Directory for Youth Workers" a 1-(800) listing for "Homosexuals Anonymous." I have enjoyed our office subscription of Youth Today for more than ten years and worked with youth for more than 25. I have lived my entire career as a healthy, happy, open, gay man. I see no benefit to youth or youth workers listing this poorly veiled, pathologizing, claptrap as a "resource" for youth. And, under crisis hotlines no less when youth in crisis may be most vulnerable to this self-hatred inducing hate mongering. "Homosexuals Anonymous" is nothing less than a cult fronting as "Christian charity." Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, transgender and quesitioning youth deserve better from "Youth Today."05/06/08 precious mapfirakupa:hie ..im from africa. can you please assist me. i aws asked to download application forms by till inc where i wish to apply for a job. i was told i could access the forms on www.youthtoday.com but im failing and feel im delaiying my opportunity.. please help meJoin the discussionType your comments in the form below and click [add comments] Please keep your comments brief and on-topic.
