  It is not just the torture facility at Guantanamo that must be closed. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The entire U.S. Naval base needs to be closed and the base and its land &lt;br&gt; returned to the Cuban people as an act of good will and friendship. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;That is the alpha and omega of the matter. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;have a peaceful day, &lt;br&gt; Bill

  <title>A Sensible Proposal - Run Off Elections for Eureka City Council in June &amp; November</title>
  <link>http://groups.google.com/group/vote/browse_thread/thread/5037beccb7a6e625/f38f6a36c6c22b69?show_docid=f38f6a36c6c22b69</link>
  <description>
  I think we should consider changing the city council election system before &lt;br&gt; the next election cycle. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;We should institute a primary election for City Council in Eureka in June &lt;br&gt; with a run off in November between the top two vote getters. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is the way democracies operate in the modern world.

In &lt;br&gt; fact it is an &amp;quot;interventionary herbal infusion&amp;quot; that people may use in &lt;br&gt; place of far more harmful and addictive drugs like alcohol, SSRIs, &lt;br&gt; designer opiods, paint or glue huffing, and methamphetamine in treatment of &lt;br&gt; many conditions. When you make cannabis illegal and less available, you
