One of our Gangway #38 authors suggested this letter page to be reopened for self service. So I did. However, almost immediately this resulted in an avalanche of SPAM, which forced me to disable the interactive feature again. I apologise for the inconvenience. Please email your feedback directly to the individual author or editor. Name:Gerald Ganglbauer Email:gerald@gangan.com Location: Sydney, NSW Australia Date: Saturday, May 5, 2007 at 07:09:11 Comments: Unfortunately SPAM was posted to our letters page over the past few days. At this time we simply deleted all unwanted entries, however, if misuse continues we will have to disable this interactive feature. Thank you for your understanding.

In a nation where a man can be impeached for having sex in the coffee nook, it should not be a difficult dedicion to impeach bush for lying to the nation about Iraq, for illegal wire taps and for accepting the presidency on the backs of disenfranchised voters in the state of Florida in the first place. A president is supposed to lead the nation to proserity and security, Bush has not given us prosperity, he has given us the shame of a racist, closed minded government, fighting wars on two fronts, servicing his rich freinds and contributors and selling out the birthright of our citizens to corporate interests. He has given us war instead of peace, fear instead of security, mounting debt instead of a surplus. Where is the honor and security in this. As he himself has said, his base is the haves and the have more. If a foreign oppressor tried to impose on the nation what bush is imposing, there would be anarchy in the streets! If it is a choice between the dignity of the office of president and the survival of our democracy, then let the ax fall on bush, the office and the nation WILL survive.

I look forward to hearing back from you, we didn't quite survive the pace of editing etc. you have my admiration for having continued and thrived.

The TRUTH is -- all of us must give up violence as a means of dealing with our differences with other people. In the words of Jesus, "He who lives by the sword will perish by the sword." In the words of the Dalai Lama: “Violence, once it starts, is, by its nature, very predictable. Originally you intend limited use of force. Then counter-reaction occurs and it is difficult to stop. Soon, devastation ensues. So, always, I feel it is better to avoid violence.” We did not learn from what our use of violence produced in Vietnam. It is my most sincere prayer that we (all of us) will learn from what our use of violence has produced in Iraq.

You cannot serve both God and mammon.” My one desire is to be part of an organization that values my devotion to the service of making life better for all people on this planet, more than it values money or anything else. Does such an organization exist on this planet today?

She is a favorite of mine and I have watched her poetry develop and grow with much joy over the past few years. Also, always good to see Christina Conrad. Your readers might be interested in the site I edit, PERFORMANCE POETRY, at http://earink.cjb.net All the best in the art of performing poetry. A great interview coming up later this month with Richard Zola (UK), and the discussion board has been attracting more than a fair share of good poetry. Congrats Gerald on #20! Keep em coming!

Sanguinity is an expresive voyage through the shock, grief, and despair of a young woman experiencing a life-threatening illness and coming to terms with an abusive past. This book is not just a story of Catherine's triumph over adversity, but an encouragement to others to express themselves and begin their own healing process. Catherine's poetry has been compared to Sylvia Plath by many experts also.
