I have to stop reading the news. It's not good for my blood pressure. I realize this may be like throwing a gernade into a vat of gasoline so it may not last long but I had so say something. And this happened in the city that is home to Offut Air Force Base. "BELLEVUE, Neb. -- An Omaha suburb has paid a member of a Kansas church that protests at soldiers' funerals $17,000. In exchange, Shirley Phelps-Roper has dropped her lawsuit against Bellevue. The settlement with Westboro Baptist Church, which says troop deaths are punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality, was signed last week. The church said it shows that responding to public anger by taking action against it costs taxpayers. City attorney Michael Polk didn't respond to a message seeking comment. Phelps-Roper was arrested during a 2007 protest in Bellevue after she and her son allegedly mutilated the U.S. flag. The settlement was signed the same day a federal judge, with agreement from Attorney General Jon Bruning, permanently stopped the flag-mutilation law from being enforced. They said it's unconstitutional." (this latest ruling was that these people can NEVER be arrested in Nebraska for defacing the American Flag.) And that's all I'm gonna say about that. I'm going to go grind my teeth some more. Mike

I wanted to let you know were going to finialize the settlement today. they finally offered the policy limit. that is what i asked for from the begining. the expenses and lawyers fees are staggering. But, I fought for my Tom and I was told by someone that offering the full policy is an ADMISSION OF GUILT. Tom Elton Patterson was NOT at fault. Oh, Tom, my dearest, I would not let those jerks mar your good name, no sirree. I have been crying most of the day. How, I would, trade if all to have him back, be in his arms once again. Its bitter sweet, bitter sweet. Thank all of you for your prayers and support, we appreicate it and I know for certain Tom would, also. I just wish I could quit crying.
