![]() Staff- Torchevon Lord Tothe Numero Capitan ![]() ![]() -"A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices." -William James ![]() Thursday-A light snow will fall across the land covering forming slicks of ice so be cautious when outside. High of 35 low of 32. Friday-The snow will start to fall heavier towards the afternoon and start to get thicker, ice is still a big concern. High of 32 low of 39. Saturday-The snow fall will stay the same though what is already on the ground will be freezing over making it a crazy fun time to bust out a sled but people in cars should be wary. High of 29 low of 27. Sunday-The snow will stop, the clouds will clear, and Mr. Sun will shine his face again helping to get these icy conditions under control. High of 36 low of 31. Monday-The sun will yet a gain be shining in full force helping to curb the terrible ice slicks that are throughout the area especially on the roads. Some clouds will be moving in the area come nightfall. High of 34 low of 28. Tuesday-More clouds will be covering the sky blocking a lot of the sun's beams, however, ther will not be any snowfall and the decent temperatures should prevent a major more ice from forming. High of 35 low of 31. Wednesday-The snow will start to fall again, however, ice slicks shouldn't be as prevalent this time though we still advise caution. High of 34 low of 29. ![]() Voting has begun for the AWP senate elections. Contending in the north are Turlmanistan, Lord Tothe, and Ballypete.

Repeal "Humanitarian Intervention" A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #92 Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny Description: UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: This Assembly, having convened to reconsider its adoption of UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention, observes the following: 1. The United Nations through past legislation condemns in the strongest possible terms egregious human-rights violations such as genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity; 2. The United Nations is committed to enforcing relevant legislation expressly forbidding such offenses by member states; 3. The United Nations is not necessarily opposed to international interventions with a humanitarian purpose, but does fear that UN involvement in military operations as stipulated by Resolution #92 is inappropriate; 4. The United Nations expresses strong concerns over the serious flaws evident in the remit of Humanitarian Intervention, specifically: - that it permits the United Nations to authorize offensive actions against member states, in contradiction of the UN's long-held tradition of strict neutrality in international theaters of conflict; - that it subjects the territorial sovereignty and integrity of member states to a vote by a panel of unaccountable UN diplomats, allowing the United Nations to disregard member states' said sovereignty at the request of two or more nations; - that it allows the United Nations to authorize interventions in non-member states, who are decidedly outside UN jurisdiction and are under no obligation to uphold UN mandates, however beneficial or well-intentioned; - that it grants the overseeing panel unlimited powers to meddle in the planning and execution of intervention operations, greatly impeding their effectiveness and likelihood of success. Whereas: This Assembly considers the above-cited flaws to constitute a serious overreach of the mandate of the United Nations to protect international human rights; This Assembly in particular strongly condemns this act's attempt to enforce UN dictates on non-member states; This Assembly reassures its members that the enforcement of UN proscriptions against human-rights violations by member states will continue, even in the absence of an intervention accord; This Assembly is convinced that nations finding cause to intervene in cases of grave human-rights abuses committed in other countries will do so, with or without a UN permission slip: Be it therefore resolved: 1. UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention is hereby repealed. Votes For: 3,173 Votes Against: 1,953 Voting Ends: Sat Mar 1 2008 ![]() Greekamerican Interview

I need to slap you with a suit for not complimenting the cartoons! |
| "Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein | |
