I just got back from the Dining In ceremony. Dining In is a semi-formal event held by ROTC units to prepare cadets for formal events. It has gotten to be a tradition. The Dining In started with about 45 minutes of socializing (you are supposed to shake hands with all the other cadets). Then we filed into the dining room and took our seats. We then rose for the invocation and presentation of the colors. After that, the grog was filled. Various ingredients were added to a punch bowl. The result was a very nasty-looking and tasting concoction. People who were "called up" to be made fun or for something were forced to drinkn from the grog. People were called up for maybe an hour, for everything from a dance they could do to reading a poem in Russian. The cdets performed skits, with the best skit and the worst skit winning awards. [Someone just walked in and gave me a Krispy Kreme doughnut! :D ] It was a lot of fun...I drank from the grog a couple time (because all the Ranger Challenge people went up when the leader went up)...it wasn't THAT bad.

As the Mickey Mouse Club groomed the children of the 60s for the 70s revelry cycle so is the Disney-production that is Hannah Montana grooming the children for the next revelry cycle, 2010-2020. The incest photo was a clue.
Similarly, as guitar strumming was a very activity sociable back then so is Guitar Hero the training tool used to gain male interest today.
Osama struck a "deal" with a record company executive in 2007::::With this Democrat in office I suspect we are going to witness an intense revelry cycle like we experienced in the 1970s.
It's children who go to heaven, not old people. Old people became corrupted, fell for temptation and will be reincarnated.
Your children are the ones with the opportunity now. You must sacrifice to give them the best chance possible. You must bravely face god's tests and do the right thing.
