Index

Unknown Zone

Okay, when one changes a paragraph all those index links need to change as well. Freewebs is annoying. I deleted what was here and yet, as I type, everything is bolded and underlined. Wonder if Freewebs new and improved Site Editor is creating a link to all or any of the articles that were linked here.

Fixable, Have to click "Done". Re-open to edit changing from Paragraph editor to Raw html Paragraph. How much easier if Freewebs would simply give me back control of what I want to do.

Yup, they linked that first paragraph to an article. Fixed now.

  1. 3 Things You Should Always Lick was rejected for pay and one of my favorite articles.
  2. Set A Wave In Motion (how to start the New Year)
  3. Indonesia News
  4. Does God Exist (quotes)

On Bigotry, Peace & Racism

"...let's think in practical and common sense ways about solving problems..."  Barack Obama speaking to David Letterman.

Barack Obama believes the majority of US citizens are "decent people".  He believes that, we, the people, want common sense government. Is there a practical and common sense way to rid the world of bigotry and racists? Some of my articles relating to the topics:
