Local man arrested for possesion of child pornography

Whats up with all this stuff happening in Mt Home? Time to move.

Time to move? Where are you going to move where there isn't any of this kind of thing going on? We have been lucky in Mountain Home, though it does seem like there is a lot going on right now.

When you find a place that has none of this and also has nothing else wrong with it, please be sure to drop us a line so we can ALL move there.

the town is growing and with that growth comes that kind of filth and sleaze

I agree 100% with ItsJustMeAgain. This stuff is all over.

I'm just proud of the woman for turning her husband in -- can't have been easy for her to do.

No fear of the law anymore, bazookaman? Wow. You did hear of that little thing called the Patriot Act right? You do know that all they have to do is label you a terrorist and they can arrest you without a warrant, hold you without being charged and try you without a jury or council, right?

Tell the 320 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, some of whom are American citizens just like you, that the ACLU will come and save them. More than likely, your conservative cronies will simply execute them and be done with it. How very American.

You're right, this country has gone to hell and it's because of conservatives exactly like you. But don't worry about labeling me a liberal, I'm just a simple anarchist who loves to stir the pot.

All good points, brotha. And yes, if someone kicked my dog in the face, they would deserve to get ripped up. But remember, Iraq never came into "our" yard, far from it.

The real culprits of 9/11 are still at large, laughing at us from their caves, while how many civilians die each day on the streets of Baghdad?

And I never want anyone to use our flag as a doormat, my grandfather fought for four years for that flag and I, for one, am forever grateful. Though I may not share his views on the Japanese, they did indeed start the war and we finished it.

Conspiracy theorists aside, they were never going to surrender unless we A) Invaded the island or B) Dropped the A-bomb. I've seen the devastation the bomb(s) caused and it makes sick to my stomach to see the effects it had on the children. But how many more American GIs would have had to die to end that war the "humane" way?

And if anyone thinks the Japanese were humane, they need to read up on the Bataan death march sometime.

I thank you for your service to this country, Bazookaman. My grandfather served in the CBI Theatre of WWII. I learned a lot about that war from him and a lot about Vietnam from Kelly Everitt. He was also a Marine, recon if I remember right.

Like him, I am a student of history. Which is why it's so frustrating to see us making the same mistakes in the quagmire that is Iraq. Apparently, they don't teach history at Yale.

I have done some research on the NAU and it's some interesting stuff. As far as I understand it though, that is pretty far-fetched. What seems more probable is that all three countries will someday share the same form of currency in an attempt to compete with the Euro. Which, at present, is currently blowing the Dollar out of the water.

Finally, you are absolutely correct about the Japanese. They made the Nazis look like Mother Theresa. I remember being angry with my grandfather once for not having any of his old combat fatigues for me to play commando in. Then he told me that on the way home, he gave everything he had, including the shirt off his very back, to a group of Bataan death march survivors who had nothing.

I felt very humbled to be in his presence after that. I miss him everyday and will honor him as best I can on Sunday. Though it may not seem like much, all I have to offer is a simple thank you to men like him, you and Kelly for all you have done for this country. Your service does not go unrecognized.

I understand, Bazookaman. I meant no disrespect and was not trying to infer that you were fighting for our freedom. From what I've learned, soldiers both then and now fought more for each other than anything. That kind of commitment and sacrifice is what deserves our thanks.

Bazookaman and Mr. Fresh I like to come in here and read your comments and responses. It's always a pleasure, I'm just starting to get very interested in history, which is bad on my part.

I'm saddned by the fact that our soldiers are dying in a Political War, I think all parties involved should be locked up for using our military personel for political crap.

As far as the prisoners in gitmo I've got nothing, they believe they are fighting a holy war and we are the monsters and they believe for their service they get rewarded in the after life. And as sad as it sounds I believe in racial profiling!!! It's sad that some of the people in there are United States citizens and couldn't tell you what a good solution would be for any of it. All I know for sure is I am not in any kind of sleeper cell, nor do I have any affiliation with those type of people. That I know for sure. I also know that I don't want any more planes to fly into anymore buildings, I don't want to loose my rights or freedoms. I am pretty sure that my one vote doesn't count for much since the Electoral College system is what decides the election, and I've found that writing my congressman doesn't do much either!!! I can say that as a naive girl I did vote for the lesser of two evils this last time. Here is stupidity, I wish we could get someone other than a Politician in office, a person who couldn't be bought, who carried his gun with him every where he went in case they tried to take him out. Someone who made the American people proud, someone who isn't Politically correct and doesn't fight wars that way and someone whom believes that in this country WE SPEAK ENGLISH and isn't afraid to say it because lord knows everyone is thinking it!!!!!

Well anyway enough with the pipe dream!!!!!!

I've been reading with great respect the postings by mrfresh28 and bazookaman. I've been a military granddaughter, a military daughter, a military wife, a military niece, a military cousin, a military mother. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force. I myself wanted to enlist in the Air Force but was talked out of it by my military hero of an uncle; in those days, "nice" girls didn't serve -- his terminology, but my parents were relieved (even my father) when I, meek and obedient, buckled and gave in.

I am trying to find a way to comment on this year's Veterans Day ceremony, but I can't seem to find the article. I haven't made it to all the ceremonies over the years but really intended to attend this year. We are in church from early until about 1 o'clock; the ceremony is at 11 am. I'm really disappointed, as I have duties and can't miss church. It would have been terrific if the ceremony was around two or so.

Well, I hope there is a good turnout.

P.S. I guess it's better I didn't serve in the military, if I gave in that easily. I never thought about it that way before.

But I was a heck of a military wife and mother.

That is an amazing story, Bazooka my man. That absolutely blows my mind. I wasn't alive in the 60s and hearing stories like this almost makes me glad I wasn't. What an unprecedented time in our history.

I think we are a long ways from a full-scale revolution but you never know. As you said, that's probably the only way anything will get changed.

As for Guitmo, remember Missylynn, just because you SAY you're not a terrorist, doesn't mean they can't label you one. I'm guessing you're white, so of course you're not against racial profiling. But how about that U of I student who was arrested awhile back because the government said he was a terrorist?

Three weeks later they released him and offered a measly "Oops, our bad." I'll tell you this much, if they ever come for me, they better bring some serious firepower.

Power to the People.
