This isn't funny, but thought provoking.. Charles Schultz' Philosophy..... 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. 3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America >contest. 4. Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize. 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners. How did you do? The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one - 1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. 3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. 4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated. 5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. 6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier? The lesson - The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care. Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. Charles Schultz

In Act III of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Mark Antony faces a crowd of plebeians who have just heard Brutus justify Caesar's assassination. Brutus has won the people over by telling them that Caesar had been too ambitious, that his death was necessary to prevent the enslavement of the people of Rome. With the people clamoring for Brutus to take Caesar's place as leader, he leaves, generously insisting that Caesar's friend Antony be allowed to offer a eulogy. By the time Antony has finished speaking, the crowd has turned into a mob, lusting for revenge against Brutus and his fellow conspirators. Antony: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; ... startribune.com ________________ OJ In response to news that Canada's military is joining the coalition, Iraq today unveiled a new weapon: a rust-seeking missile.
