    <title>Boycott 2008 Beijing Olympics</title>
    <link>http://partybuilder.collegedems.com/page/community/group_rss/Boycott2008BeijingOlympics/html</link>
    <description>This summer, President George W. Bush will smile while jaunting up the stairs to Air Force One - his laughable presidency all but over - with not a care in the world.

For 13 hours, he&#039;ll lie on a couch in the airplane, drink pomegranate-flavored water and watch reruns of Texas Rangers games from the glory days of Nolan Ryan and Jose Canseco. 

Eventually, he&#039;ll land in Beijing, China, for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He&#039;ll pose and smile for photos with great Chinese leaders.

You&#039;ll definitely read about it in the newspaper, and so will people just like you all over the world; and you&#039;ll probably feel pretty good when you do. Like a bottle of cheap gin the whole globe can pass around, the Olympics somehow make it okay to forget for a little while.

This is helpful for most of us, but somewhat unfortunate for the Tibetan people, whose struggle against occupation has gone on for nearly 60 years. 

In 1951, the Chinese government annexed Tibet and declared it part of China. In 1959, an uprising resulted in the expulsion of the Dalai Lama; since that time he has run a &quot;government in exile&quot; based in India and become a martyr for global political rights.

On March 10, in honor of the 49th anniversary of China&#039;s great experiment in the abuse of state sovereignty, Tibetan monks began to protest en masse the continued demonization of the Dalai Lama and China&#039;s efforts to ethnically cleanse Tibetans.

China, for its part, pledged to &quot;resolutely crush&quot; those people. Within days, it launched a fresh military campaign in the region. It kicked out journalists and declared no quarter on religious figures. 

Anyway, a generation later, as a reward for Chinese progress and a concession that China has established itself as a modern global player, it gets to host the Olympics!

Irony in such high doses should be fatal.</description>

            <title>No More Palin</title>
            <description>Don&#039;t think anyone here dislikes or is as afraid of this conservative crack case to be a heart beat away from the presidency as I am.  All the reasons we know.. she lies... she isn&#039;t qualified are right there for all to see.  McCain picking her as VP shows his terrible judgement and putting his country last...anything to win politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the problem with Palin.  We know the GOP cannot talk about the issues because they have no answers, nothing but more of the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As long as we keep the chatter alive about Palin we don&#039;t discuss the issues.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No more Palin chatter.  Let&#039;s discuss issues and mcCain.  On those topics we win.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s talk about the topics that weren&#039;t even mentioned at the GOP Convention...the middle class, health care...ending the war, housing foreclosures, energy independence, the environment.........</description>

            <title>New Orleans Hurricane</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, watching those poor people lining up for buses to yet again flee a hurricane, my heart broke. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With all our riches how can there still be people in America who are so obviously so impoverished and helpless? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, it is because our system of education is broken, failed, shameful. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can any politician believe that property taxes from impoverished areas can pay for world class schools and world class teachers?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A factor in our broken system of education is that first, teachers are underpaid so that schools for teachers &amp;quot;sometimes&amp;quot; fail to attract the most talented people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, the curricula are not teaching prospective teachers how to really teach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want every teacher in America to receive the same starting pay as computer programmers and engineeers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want better curicula for preparing teachers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I want 3,000,000 more, high paid, talented, dedicated teachers who are fully prepared to teach THE LOVE OF medicine, bioscience, math and engineering, starting in the first grade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let us all work for an America where everey child has absolutely equal and excellent education, so that in the future no American is so unprepared for life that they end up helplessly standing in line for buses to flee for their lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please donate, tax deductible,&amp;nbsp;to these goals at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fluni.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.fluni.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I cannot think of anything more consistent with the core values of our Democratic Party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Michelle&#039;s First Date</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;This vignette touched my heart, because it has such relevant symbolism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In the clips last night, Michelle Obama spoke of finally giving in to Barack&#039;s request for a date. She had been refusing his advances because she was very proper in the top law firm of Sidley &amp;amp; Austin, where she was a full fledged attorney and Barack was just a summer intern.&amp;nbsp;Barack surprised Michelle when he&amp;nbsp;took her, not to a fancy restaurant, but &amp;nbsp;to a church basement where he gave a speech to steelworkers who were laid off when the local steel mill closed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Michelle said Barack riveted everyone in the basement with a magnificent speech about how America actually was, and how America should be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clip showed a picture of the burly white steelworkers raptly listening to the young African American orator, demonstrating that the races were cooperating even back then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I grew up in the same neighborhood as Michelle Robinson Obama, actually in between her house&amp;nbsp; and Rev. Wright&#039;s church. I&amp;nbsp;personally knew many of the steelworkers who forever lost high paying jobs to the slave labor wages of Indian and Chinese steelmills, and feel quite strongly about fair trade instead of free trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those hard working men&amp;nbsp;never, ever got jobs with pay&amp;nbsp;remotely near what they earned in the mill, for very hard work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Micehlle felt the same thing I did, and said that speech in the church basement made it all over, the end! She was in love with Barack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A symbolic lesson for us all, united.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Proud To Be A Democrat</title>
            <description>While I shall continue to post about how to improve our &lt;br /&gt;
Democtratic party and uplift the issues of our candidates, my heart burst with pride as I watched our great Democratic Party make history as the first major party to nominate an African American for President of the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the Fourth of July, 2007, I signed the papers to register as a Democrat and abandoned my life long membership in the Republican Party. What a great day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May God Bless America, and God Bless our Democratic Party!</description>

            <title>Who Is Crazy?</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Who is crazy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comments on previous posts have stooped to the politics of personal destruction, ad hominem attacks, and calling people &amp;quot;crazy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that shortly after Frank filed with the FEC there was a staff post, since deleted, on Daily Kos, asking if Kos should support Frank instead of Obama? So the Kos staff was taking him seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell me, who is crazy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch is creating a new university http://www.fluni.com to train teachers of science, math, medicine and engineering to help treat our national shortage of science teachers and had the audacity to name the university after his father, who died at home in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously Lynch is crazy, a loon, an egomanic and should be chased out of town. It goes against the principles of the Democratic Party to advance education and to deal with the teacher shortage. Drive Lynch away from posting, he is dangerous. And he is taking on the monumental, back breaking tsask of creating a non-profit, charitable university, and serving without compensation? What a jerk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch is creating a public charity devoted to abused children and abused women and to fighting poverty inside of America as opposed to Clinton&#039;s foundation which is mostly outside the USA. http://franklynchfoundation.org also named after his deceased father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lynch is insane, What a narcissist. Anybody who wants to fight poverty inside America is a Nazi. Shout him down, ban him, ridicule him. And he wants to help abused children and save them from the broken foster care system? He can&#039;t possible be a true Democrat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lynch is writing books and creating a publishing company to raise money for his charities to help education and fight poverty in America. Criminal! UnAmerican. Anti-Democrat. No Democrat Presidential candidate ever wrote a book? Boo! Go away Frank. It is illegal to write a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank filed to run for president even though he knew the Democratic Party insiders would not let him on the ballots. Why? As a means of getting the other Presidential candidates to copy the ideas he posted on http://www.franklynch.org and use them in their previously vacant websites previously filled with only empty rhetoric from Jimmy Carter&#039;s 1976 campaign, and we know Carter&#039;s legacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gee Frank, you reminded Hillary and goaded Barack into helping college students and into adopting Universal Healthcare. Frank, you really are a tin hat wacko loon. Everybody knows that Hillary and Barack adopted universal healthcare AFTER you publicized it and nagged the Chairpersons of all 50 state party organizations about it. What a maroone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And by doing so, Frank Lynch changed America. What a terrible person! Pushing for universal healthcare and helping college students. Lock him in jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Frank Lynch filed to run for President without ever serving as a legislator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this is a big one. Frank Lynch is going to propose a Constitutional Amenment to forbid anyone who has ever been a US Senator or Representative, or ever graduated from law school, from running for President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No lawyer ever SUCCESSFULLY managed anything of substance in the entire history of America. No many of you will cite lawyers who were the head of all sorts of things. Yes, ABraham Lincoln, my geatest personal hero, was a lawyer, but he never went to law school. Ha! Try to focus. No lawyer evere SUCCESSFULLY managed anything of substance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chew on that! First it is a really big crime how so many Senators do nothing about carrying out their duties to the taxpayers for two whole years while they abandon the Senate to run for President. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, the Presidency is EXECUTIVE. Senators and Representatives do nothing but work to get re-elected and collect campaign donations by holding hearing after hearing after hearing after hearing to extort contributions from the victims of their hearings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, have you every watched CSPAN? None of those bums should ever be allowed to be President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch has expert experience in the areas that determine America&#039;s future: science, national security, finance/economics, and running a business. See http://www.franklynch.name &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, compared to the irrelevant experience of all the other candidates, Lynch is OVERQUALIFIED&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch at age 18 dropped out of college because he thought his professors were stupid. At age 19 he was back as a National Science Foundation researcher studying the effects of early experience on adult biochemical and hormonal reactions to stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since stress is involved in weapons systems, he was recruited as a national security consultant, first on selection of advanced weapons systems, then intellegence, and he co-authored a study that predicted the current MidEast situation, in detail, with 100 percent accuracy, 40 years ago! Current candidates don&#039;t even understand the MidEast today, let alone see the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then spent 10 years as a Corporate Finance Officer on Wall Street, followed by creating a new business from scratch, building it up into a publicly traded company, and selling it to a larger company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In contrast, both Obama and McCain state they do not understand business, finance or the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No other Presidential candidate has these comprehensive, totally relevant, qualifications to deal with the problems facing America today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe Howard Dean erred by keeping Frank Lynch off the primary ballots? Would it not be interesting if the voters had had the chance to debate this?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Idealism, Free Speech and Innovation</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Are these blogs contaminated by professional paid assasins in the employ of funded campaigns?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In July 2007 I read every word of every website&amp;nbsp; of all the Democrat and Republican Presidential&amp;nbsp;candidates. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then I wrote my Top Ten List and the http://www.franklynch.org website including only ideas that were not on any Democratic or Republican Presidential candidate website at that date, the sole exception being that Kucinich had the same elegant version of single payer healthcare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Clinton had dropped universal healthcare after the Republicans threatened to put her in jail for unauthorized expenditure of taxpayer funds in 1993. She never again sponsored unversal healthcare until after I embarassed her on September 11, 2007. On that date she was in my neighbordhood doing a &amp;quot;not really campaigning&amp;quot; fundraiser in which her only words on healthcare were cheaper drugs for seniors and more healthcare for children, less than truly revolutionary concepts. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time a mile down the same street&amp;nbsp;the ABC station&amp;nbsp;televised me campaigning for universal healthcare. Since her staff scans television news wherever she appears, they viewed the five televised spots of me pushing unversal healthcare when she did not. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shortly&amp;nbsp;AFTER that embarassment, she REMEMBERED that she used to support it.&amp;nbsp; She researched me so thoroughly that she found out my mother belonged to an HMO named &amp;quot;America&#039;s Health Choice&amp;quot; and Clinton adopted the name of my mother&#039;s HMO for her universal healthcare plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As that website says, I filed for President with the FEC because I was disgusted that Hillary&#039;s and Obama&#039;s websites at July 2007 had almost no specific steps on how to achieve change, even though he had been campaigning for seven months and had spent more than a hundred million, including millions on consultants and writers to flesh out and put substance to his rhetoric. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Silly me, I thought that if someone were to run for President, they should have their ideas fleshed out with specific plans BEFORE starting a campaign, otherwise why run? That is not a rhetorical question. I think the reason to run for President is because you have specific ideas. If your initial,&amp;nbsp; starting&amp;nbsp;Presidential website&amp;nbsp;lacks specific steps you intend to implement, why bother running?. Much worse is if&amp;nbsp;after running for seven months, there is no excuse for not having specific, concrete actual steps, except if you have no&amp;nbsp; specific, concrete ideas?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isn&#039;t the purpose of running for change to have specific changes written down? All of the Democratic candidates were insider Senators or Congressmen (if Obama was an outsider, how come he lived off the taxpayers for the last ten years? Ha!) I knew there was no way the Party machine would let a true outsider like me into the debates or on the ballots, so I used faxes and certified mail to the State Party Chairpersons, and within 48 hours, the elements of my Top Ten List and website began appearing on the DNC website and on Hillary&#039;s and Obama&#039;s website. It is an incontrovertible fact that at July 20, 2007, neither Hillary nor Barack had Universal Healthcare, plug-in electric cars, windfarms, talking to our enemies, Energy Independence, Free College or College Tuition Assistance,&amp;nbsp;or the phrase &amp;quot;Bold New Ideas&amp;quot; on their websites. How short memories are! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sure, if you Google any idea you will find many hits, but none of the ideas on my Presidential website were on Hillary&#039;s or Obama&#039;s websites at July 2007, and I did in fact succeed in&amp;nbsp;inserting them into the current Presidential campaign and defined the major issues of this campaign. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And by doing so I changed America!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What amazes me is the vicious antagonism of this Democratic website toward a Democrat because he contributed to defining the issues and expanded the debate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Perhaps Fox News may have something when they claim that we Dems really suppress free speech and ideological expansion while claiming the opposite?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You and Howard Dean have proven to me that our Party is the old establishment, and is highly resistant to true change. We won the 2006 elections to bring change, but tell me please, why are Congressional approval ratings so low after our 2006 victory?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I urge everyone to embrace outsiders who publicize ideas of change, instead of responding with pettiness and calling people &amp;quot;crazy.&amp;quot; First, that is immature. And Second, That is what Hitler&#039;s Brown Shirts did.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Ethnic Cleansing in Iraq: Part Two</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Some comments to &amp;quot;Ethnic Cleansing in Iraq&amp;quot; yesterday said things such as &#039;read up before you post!&#039;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was a national security consultant to the Department of Defense at a time when that meant I&amp;nbsp;took my martinis &amp;quot;shaken not stirred.&amp;quot; Under contract to the DoD, I co-authored a conflict prediction study forty years ago that set forth today&#039;s MidEast situation with perfect accuracy.&amp;nbsp;Yesterday&#039;s commenters implied I don&#039;t understand the MidEast. In fact, I predicted it 40 years in advance, perfectly! Which made me the only Presidential candidate who actually has foreign affairs &lt;u&gt;competence&lt;/u&gt;. My writings here are not from readings, but from hands on experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I met the Shah, and spent time with the CIA controllers who lived in the palace &amp;quot;furnishing advice&amp;quot; on his every act. The Shah was our puppet, owned lock, stock and barrel. British MI-6 created the Shah by kidnapping him when they killed his father for collaborating with Hitler, and MI-6 agents raised and educated the Shah. Our CIA took him over in the 1960s. Yes, he used torture. Duh! Iran is in Central Asia!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everyone between Poland and China uses torture as casually as Columbia University undergrads deprive their opponents of the right to free speech and freedom of assembly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Carter ordered our CIA out of Iran and cut off all support and supplies. The Shah had the most modern Air Force in the world, all state of the art American technology because Iran was the armored firewall protecting Arabia and oil from takeover by the USSR, with whom they shared a long, and viciously battle torn border.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Carter cut off replacement parts and withdrew&amp;nbsp;the thousands of American contractors who maintained the advanced technology air force, armoured brigades, and communications systems, Iran&#039;s military was rendered immobile within weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Carter withdrew the hordes of American intelligence gatherers, the Shah lost much of his knowledge of the Russian sabateurs infiltrating Iran and who were organizing, supplying, paying salaries to, and training the so-called &amp;quot;popular uprising.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every day there was military action of both Soviet organized phony internal &amp;quot;rebels&amp;quot; as well direct small scale invasions by USSR secret police groups operating in every poluation center inside Iran. As soon as Carter crippled Iran&#039;s military, death loomed large.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ayatollah Khomeni lived in exile in Paris financed by the USSR. Just as we had CIA sitting alongside the Shah every day, Soviet Russia had agents walking beside Khomeni all day long, every day. Iran was the biggest prize of the Cold War. Remeber, this was immediately after the Soviet/China alliance whupped us in Vietnam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As soon as the Russian terror squads verified that Carter really had, with monumental stupidity, removed all support from the Iranian government so that the Soviet guerrillas could operate inside Iran with impunity, Soviet agents took control of the Tehran aerodrome, and chartered, using Russian bank accounts for payment, an Air France plance to fly Khomeni back into Iran while a US Air Force plane flew the Shah to safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since then Russia and Iran have functioned as a single weapon against American interests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iran controls the &amp;quot;democratically elected&amp;quot; government of Iraq. Iraq&#039;s President and his top officers have large personal offices in Tehran! They shuttle back and forth getting their instructions from the Ayatollahs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is no different from the way the Chinese Communist Secret Service had a so called &amp;quot;Arkansas restauranteur&amp;quot; with an office and satellite dish accross the street from the White House.&amp;nbsp;That &amp;quot;restauranteur&amp;quot; was never vetted for White House access by the Secret Service but had a special, one of a kind pass, that let him run in and out&amp;nbsp;of the White House and barge in unannounced on Bill Clinton&#039;s meetings. He was Clinton&#039;s best friend and confident. When the &amp;quot;restauranteur&amp;quot; was supoened by Congress, he boarded a plane to Hong Kong and nobody including our CIA has been able to find him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intelligence agencies have enormous influence behind the scenes of all governments. How do you think French President Sarkozy got together with the Russian President on 90 minutes notice and negotiated a Treaty that let the Russinas do anything they want in Georiga and still be in compliance with the Treaty?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And Sarkozy loves Nobama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WHY THE SUNNIS FEEL BETRAYED&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We promised them a role in the Iraqi government if they fought on our side against Al Quada. Now the Iraqi government is not embracing them, but exterminating them. And the Iraqi government has its real offices in Tehran. The President of Iraq commutes to his Tehran office for instructions from his masters before making any decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Iranians hate the Sunnis as much as Pakistan hates India. Fallujah was the site of a massacre of Shiites by Sunnis many centuries ago. For Shiia, the annual pilgrimage to Fallujah ranks almost equal with the pigrimage&amp;nbsp;to Mecca, for Shiia&amp;nbsp;to reiiterate their hatred of Sunnis and reinforce their desire for vengeance. US public television regularly broadcasts coverage of this annual Shiia convention to pledge vengeance against the Sunnis. Nobama&#039;s withdrawal makes it possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, today&#039;s news reports that Shiite Extremist Muqtada al-Sadr is rousing his militia to protest our withdrawal as too slow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are following the Nobama timetable to leave Iraq, so the Iranian Shiites can exterminate their enemies for ten centuries, the Sunnis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Ethnic Cleansing in Iraq: We Fought for Nothing</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Gen. Petraeus success came from convincing the Sunnis to fight alongside us to expel Al Quaeda. We promised them a role in the government in exchange for fighting on our side. Now that we and the Sunnis have succeeded, the Iranian backed Shiite government has put a bounty on the heads of the Sunnis fighters and have sent the Shiite Iraqi Army (that we equipped and trained) out to arrest and disarm our Sunni allies. The Sunnis now view us as having betrayed them. Iran and their ally Russia correctly view us as fools for letting this disaster occur. The next world war will be Russia and Iran taking all the MidEast oil while China sits laughing in the background as the rest of the world destroys itself and us. And Nobama and McSleep are too stupid to notice this happening, let alone how to do anything about it. Iran benefitted tremendously from Jimmy Carter. Before Jimmy Carter Iran was our strongest ally. Carter turned it over to the Shiite extremists, who thanked him by seizing our Embassy and humiliating America. Now Nobama and McSleep are letting the Shiite Extremists take over Iraq, and from there, the entire MidEAst. May God help us, because both our Democratic party and the Republicans are never going to help us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>I think we can all agree</title>
            <description>This is very alarming. Reguardless of who you support or what you want. Anyone who has ever been involved in a civil rights demonstration sometimes you do not have to do anything wrong to be one of those who get hauled in with a group who was acting up. Correct me if I am wrong.... this has never happened before. &lt;br /&gt;
