2. Open it. Oranges have two parts, the outside and the inside. You don’t want to eat the outside unless you want to get extremely high, so remove that. You can buy orange outside removers in many stores.

A planned trip by Bush to speak at the Switzerland-based United Israel Appeal later this week has been canceled after several human rights groups called for Swiss authorities to arrest Bush and investigate him for authorizing torture. Bush has traveled widely since leaving office, but not to Europe, where there is a strong tradition of international prosecutions.

All the laws do is to try to deprive them of human dignity while they do it.

God, we must have 10,000 or 15,000 books in our house. We have one room that's become basically a mountain of books. It's become impassable. So we have no lack of access to material and yet I didn't have access to my own head until I went to the library.
