Not to minimize this tragedy, but nearly the same thing has happened this year with the BP oil rig tragedy. This has not taken so many human lives yet, but it has taken a whole lot of marine life. And under our current federal limits, we are still giving out well drilling permits by the dozens. I hate this stuff. And I saw on MS NBC that next time the permits will be given out without public knowledge. That is great. Not. Are we, as humans to dictate, our lives over the sea's lives.

I have a feeling, that as long a you are being honest,,, you will succeed.

This is my very first time to start a thread. Excuse me if I don't use the correct terminology for DU. But I am so sad. I have had an up and down relationship with a beautiful, and intelligent women, for 13 months now. She and I have both tried to accept, nurture, and love each other. What I found out about myself is that I haven't matured as much as I had hoped in the last 20 years. And I assume that she hasn't either. I could get a lot more personal, but don't see the need to at this moment. I don't blame her for disliking me right now, but I do know that she loves me. She has proved it to me every single day. But I want more! A commitment to love, future, devotion, sex, and each other. Foremost,,,, love. That is it for now. I'm apprehensive about my thread. I hope for some response from others on DU.
