Subscribers, please see meaningful note below this post!

OUR LONGTIME READER Tyson Nuss has sent in a link to an article he wrote reinterpreting Libra. Great photos of the tightrope walker crossing between the towers of the World Trade Center, too.

Speaking of, did you hear the story about the new Muslim FDNY chaplain who was quitted this week because he mentioned that a diesel fuel fire alone cannot bring down a steel frame building? He was referencing the "controlled demolition" theory of where went the World Trade Center. I believe a piece appeared on Political Waves (link above) this week. This is a very interesting issue that I was honestly reluctant to consider until my buddy Chris had me out for drinks one night in New York City last year and said look man, it's not possible for a fire to take down a building like that. I did not understand the engineering; he did; maybe it's simple -- the melting point of steel is too high for a diesel fire to melt the building, or even seriously damage the frame. This is a matter of science, not politics; but apparently it is really a matter of political science.

I do know the building was designed to withstand a 707 hit -- a commercial airliner on the scale of a 757.

Also, did anyone hear the bit about Herr Bush saying he wants to use the military to enforce quarantines if Bird Flu gets out of hand? Using the armed forces on the American public is one of the things that the Founding Fathers railed against, and banned. But hey, Condi Rice is going abroad again to peddle the virtues of "democracy." War is peace, cousins.

The astrology in Libra continues to be as interesting as it's ever been. Today in Libra we have the exact conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter, planets that bring together the Gemini-Sagg axis as well as the Virgo-Pisces axis. Let's see -- your letters have been interesting, please keep them coming.

    Pax, bonum --
