It was about a 10 minute wait at the entrance we used on 16th Street. The race was a lot more exciting than normal with so many race leader changes and so many running in a pack at the front. It seemed more like a NASCAR race today with all the passing that was going on. Gary R.

Most NASCAR fans seem to believe that Danica Patrick winning the pole at this year's Daytona 500 was no accident; it was done to boost interest in the series. Even NASCAR has had to resort to extremes to help boost its sagging ratings and lower attendance at their races. Gary R.

The Wall Street-Security-Military-Industrial Complex has almost total control. It creeps into every facet of our lives. <br /><br />Extraordinary Rendition, torture, endless wars, Wire Taps of phone calls and E-Mails, etc, are now the norm. <br /><br />I have found Professional Sports to be particularly welded to and constantly hyping the Warrior Cult. Of course you will not find the players of major league sports enlisting in a combat unit. During the Vietnam War when we still had a draft I cannot recall a single Professional Athlete that was drafted. The only athlete of note that had draft issues was M. Ali and that was because he had the courage to say no. <br /><br />I was surfing the Web a few years ago, and came across a Memorial Web Site for a soldier killed in Vietnam. The picture of him was taken when he was in Little League uniform, with a huge smile on his face. It struck a raw nerve for me since my own grandson is now about the age he was in the picture. <br /><br />Soldiers who come home are faced with VA system that is clearly inadequate.
