		<description>Hey Bea... you have every right to say what you want.  And if it upsets people, then so be it.  You pay for this space, and ought to be able to use it as you wish.  If others don&#039;t like it, then they can just not read.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s OK to be contoversial, and it&#039;s OK to state an opinion.  But I don&#039;t think it&#039;s reasonable to state opinions and not expect to get both positive and negative responses.  The fact that it&#039;s an opinion means that not everyone will agree.  For my part I never mind reading other people&#039;s opinions, even when they disagree with my own.  What I do mind is when people make statements they can&#039;t back up, or make blanket statements about a particular country/people/religion/etc.  

I think that you are very well-informed.  I&#039;m sorry that you feel like you can&#039;t really express your thoughts here, because I think that you have good things to say.  I don&#039;t always agree with you, but that doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t want you to be able to speak freely.  (I never write political commentary in my journal.  You&#039;re a braver woman that I am. :wink:) 

The flowers are beautiful, BTW.</description>

		<description>Bea, it&#039;s a shame that you feel you have to supress how you feel but at the same time I understand.  I have very strong feelings concerning policies, war and freedoms.  I don&#039;t voice this too often because I don&#039;t have fact to back it up (many people expect this).  I base my thoughts, opinions and feelings based upon my heart and my emotions.  Too me, that is good enought but to most it isn&#039;t, that&#039;s why I stay semi quiet LOL  :wink:</description>

		<description>Capital of Colombia:  Bogota (and I know how to pronounce it properly too!   :wink: )

President:  Uribe

I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you when people ask you things like how you would feel if your country was under terrorist attack.  I&#039;m sure you know exactly how you would feel considering you&#039;ve lived through it.

Bea one day I have to stop being so shy and get together with you or invite you over for tea or coffee or something.  It&#039;s ridiculous that we communicate online and live ten minutes apart yet never got together to meet up.  You can unleash all your opinions on me and I won&#039;t judge you.   :laugh:  

I hope that you won&#039;t always feel like you have to restrict what you express here.  I love reading your opinions.  I regularly read a girl that I like very much and she&#039;s extremely pro-Bush yet although I don&#039;t understand her political views I get along with her.  I hope that people can do the same for you.

Wow, I wrote a book!  Happy new year!   :party:
