If you have been following the trial of Moussaoui and his connection to the 9-11 tragedy, then you are probably growing tired of how long it is taking. Is there really any doubt that this monster had direct involvement with the group of cowards that took down the planes? Just look at the way he acts during the trial. That alone would make me want to put him in a dark isolated place. I think the United States is really in a pickle with this trial. On one hand, you would like to see this person be executed for what he had planned and what he has told the court over the past few months. But on the other hand if you sentence him to death, then he is vindicated and in his mind he wins.

There is a bit of good news out there today regarding the ever increasing cases of breast cancer. It seems that doctors have found a pill used for fighting osteoporosis can effectively be used in the prevention of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. There is already a pill on the market that fights breast cancer, but unfortunately it has some quite extreme side effects such as uterine cancer. The new pill, called Evista, has shown very little side effects and seems to ward off cancer just as well. Speaking as someone who has lost his mother to breast cancer, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this new pill continues to work with no side effects popping up down the road. I wish they would have come out with this medicine 10 years ago.

Congratulations to our County Board for doing the right thing. Headed by Commissioner Schultz, they moved to replace the $5,000 initially taken away from library funding. I think they came together and realized what an absolute asset the libraries are to our communities and changed their minds.
