I'm not a lawyer, or even american

but I was told it was to do with the armed forces. The charter defines a child as somebody under 18 years of age, and the US allows people to sign up at 16 (I think).

However, looking at your link to the unofficial summary, it only talks about children under 15 with reference to armed conflict (Article 38) so I'm probably wrong.

I love youtube but I avoid to much internet on my telephone, at one point a few years ago, I was addicted to reading horoscopes, next thing you know in one month my bill was over two hundred dollars.

I said forget it, I pay a monthly set cost with rogers high speed, and as of tomorrow it will be a wireless modem, so...same cost..

But appreciate this list

Intense

Hi clueless crafter,

Wow. That is an intense story. I've heard many stories like that from people who become vegetarian. The worst was from a woman who as a girl had to eat the rabbit she had been playing with earlier at a family farm for dinner.

Hugging a Dead Chicken

On the topic of animals and respect, I had to share this. On Friday night, we decided to relax at home and roast a whole chicken for dinner. I began the prep work without second thought, quickly unwrapping and washing it before its visit to the oven. When I went to pat it dry, a wave of emotion washed over me. I felt sad for its pain and even sadder by the way I was treating it. Its skin was incredibly soft and its wings felt like the arms of an infant. When I picked it up, it hung limp under its weight, completely plucked clean and heartlessly pricked with a built in thermometer.

I sobbed. Sobbed in respect and with profound sadness for its suffering. My eyes opened.

Has anyone else experienced this connection?

I went through to Women's Voices for Change and read your most excellent article, then tweeted and stumbled it.

Sharing my experience

Amychan — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:19:55 -0500

I was fortuante enough to have my local retailers carrying some bamboo towels. Ny family and myself has been using them for a couple of months now and they love the product! It is much softer than what we used to have and they are easy to clean as well.

Great!

I'm looking forward to reading about it.

Would be happy to!

free produce exchange

Monibush — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:16:14 -0500

This is a little off topic but similar. There is a group called Hillside Produce Cooperative. Once a month they get together with their extra produce and do a little swap so everyone gets some of everything everyone brought. Its a great idea to share what you won't use and end up with a great bag of home grown food!!! The website is hillsideproducecooperative.org. Our next exchange is this Saturday Oct. 17th!!!

Well said

>being really excellent employees to the point where companies either change their policies or lose many of their best and brightest. Go get 'em ladies, isn't this how the west was won? :-)

Amen to that! Be so indispensable that the tides must change.
