It's a great idea - I've had the same idea for both Iraq and Afghanistan. The problem is the Military Industrial Complex (and the politicians they own) will never let it happen. It would dry up their gun running profits.

I'm a relative of Justin Smith Morrill.

are you serious...the guy who approved the Morrill TarrifF Act?

[gorgeousecret]

Yes, not a direct descendant obviously, since he no kids, but yeah, it's my last name. My dad has a watch and a few books that he owned.

cool!

[gorgeousecret]

Thanks! :) You have a really nice voice! What's your favourite Les Mis song?

[renethel]

thanks!!! On My Own is probably my most favorite b/c i can relate to it and the song has so much power. i love all of the music! lol, i never knew that i'd find sum1 who likes les mis through a history video! :-0

[gorgeousecret]

Lol, I know. Weird. Confrontation is probably my fave, or Javert's Suicide. Have you seen the videos from the tenth anniversary of Les Mis? I would have given anything to be there.. the cast is perfect.

OMG, i can't stop watching the Dream Cast. it's like i'm being spoiled whenever i watch it b/c it has the greatest cast ever. i love the confrontation so much too, i love the countersinging and stuff in that. and i like the song Stars and empty chairs at empty tables.
