There were thousands of people camping in several square miles of fields, as far as you could see. What you didn't see was one spec of trash littering the ground, anywhere!
The shower facilities scattered throughout the fields seemed pretty inadequate for the amount camping there, but the wait was short and the facilities clean because everyone took care of business and got out of the way to be courteous to the other waiting.
It was the only time I have been around that many other like-minded individuals and the experience was very positive.
There's a whole country like that at 12 o'clock.

got to agree with some of his writings. Though I dont know how he correlates the war in Iraq with Osama. There was no connection between the two, other than the fact that they are both "wolves". I also have to say that when someone writes a big essay like that I sure hope they are doing more than just writing an essay. Like he said it takes courage to do drastic things and throwing out a bunch of words (in his context) is nothing courageous. He says he gets paid huge amounts of money to do "cake walks" so why cant he pull a Sean Penn and go down and help if he is the "amateur sheep-dog" he claims.

Hahaha, you reallythink Shawn Penn went down there for anything other than a photo op? He had room for 4 people and he brought 3 along with him! On top of that, he wore a flak jacket insted of a life jacket and that really helped when his boat actually sprung a leak! Sean Penn is no hero. He saw an opportunity to look good and took it. Nothing more. If he really cared he wouldn't have brought his "personal photographer" along with him.

Way to much of the "holier than thou" attitude in it.
"Bros before Hoes" <-- More men need this mentality.

Yeah, I was going to mention that too. I wonder what the writer predicts would happen if Bin Laden was killed... after all, kill the wolf and your problems cease. Or maybe Bin Laden's followers represent more wolves... in which case I guess it's not as simple as "they want to kill us because we have cool stuff," is it.

No what I mean is that if he REALLY wants to help, and since he has all that money, he should go down and charter some boats, just like he criticizes about the celebrities. I mean if I had a big wad of cash and the time to do it Id sure go help. Not to mention this guy says hes a pilot too. Im not debating the fact that though Mr. Penn went with a flack jacket on (stupid beyond belief - if its true) the fact is he did go. Sure it could have been a nice photo op, but so far in my veiw hes done more than the author of the essay were talking about.

Well I would have to say I disagree. Sean Penn didnt help anyone but himself. He didnt even have room in the boat to rescue anyone!
