Was a Young Mother's Death Murder?

Was a Young Mother's Death Murder?
Grieving Family Claims Husband Was Behind Her Death
Dave Dalition talks with "20/20's" Jim Avila about his sister,
Linda Adanalian, who died mysteriously in 2002.
(ABC News)

In 12 years of marriage Mark and Linda Adanalian had built a respectable upper-middle class life for themselves in Fresno, Calif. Mark, 49, was a successful carpet salesman and Linda was a homemaker raising their four children. To outsiders, the couple was doing well. But family and friends say the couple was struggling — so much so that Linda was recording their arguments. Did the marital stress lead to something more sinister that led the vibrant 37-year-old mother to simply drop dead one day?

Stop Violence Against Women~Amnesty International

Take Action!
Husbands or boyfriends murder three women each day in the United States. And more than 700 women are raped or sexually assaulted every day. We can stop these tragedies. Join Amnesty International in ensuring that the U.S. government is carrying out its obligations to prevent violence against women and punish its perpetrators. This September, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) will be up for reauthorization. Please, ask your legislator to make sure it is reauthorized and fully funded.

soldiers...people...families...death....loss...war is a corporate hostile takeover...remember the ceo's, management, & corporations that f*cked over their employees because they never realized that the numbers on their forms where actually people? People, like themselves, that have families...that are loved and very much needed by them. Unfortunately, I don't see the possibility of change anytime soon...it's just getting worse...

sadly, we all stand idly by waiting for someone to help us? we have to help us...

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Quotes

"Whenever you kill a human being you are killing a source of thought too. A human being is a collection of ideas, and these ideas take moral precedence over a society. Ideas are patterns of value."
Robert T. Pirsig
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
~Albert Einstien~

Quotes

"They are happy indeed who own nothing at all;
Those with highest knowledge own nothing at all.
See how people who own things are afflicted,
Bound to others by their obligations."
~Udana 2.6~
"The soul is characterized by these capacities: self-nutrition, sensation, thinking, and
movement."
~Aristotle~
"The first step towards the solution of any problem is optimism."
~John Baines~
"Spirit is dreaming in man."
~Søren Kierkegaard~
"Of all the medicines in the world
Myriad and various
There is none like the medicine of Truth
Therefore, O followers, drink of this."
~Dhammpada~

this trip isn't going well for me...my sister and i used to be close...and, we definitely aren't anymore...maybe it's because i haven't seen her for almost a year? it seems that she's changed alot...or, maybe i have...maybe, everything has?
being down in nj is bringing on a lot of flashbacks and memories i definitely don't feel like dealing with anymore. So many memories flooding me now that it's beginning to become almost impossible to speak...i hope that doesn't happen...i don't want to be sad anymore...

"Here I'll stay for the rains.
Here, for the summer and winter."
So imagines the fool,unaware of obstructions.
That drunk-on-his-sons-and-cattle man,
all tangled up in the mind:
death sweeps him away —
as a great flood,a village asleep.
~Dhammapada, 286-287, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu~

The Bush Bike Ride Controversy

Mr. Bush isn't in charge is he? I know that...alot of people do. My question as usual is, "Who is charge?" Mr. Cheney? Halliburton? OPEC? I would really like to know. See, I've been complaining about 'our government' since I was 9...I'm 43 now. I have never been so afriad for this country, and the world as I am now. I see every innocent human being that tried to be loyal, patriotic, and serve their countries being screwed over by 'our bike riding president' and his corporate sponsors...over and over again...

A used tissue...

i feel like a used tissue...for men...after they masterbated into a tissue and throw it away...women...the tissue you cried your eyes out on...blew your nose on and threw away...
a used tissue...is that what i am?
