Happy Birthday Sott!
« on: March 26, 2012, 12:54:22 PM »
Noticed the 10 year anniversary banner on Sott and wanted to extend my heartfeld thanks for all the good years you all have given us in proving the best source of news on the net!
 :love:
I personally don't know where my life would be without discovering Sott... so thank you for creating it.

Here's to another 10 years!

**Humans, members of one great whole,
In creation, one essence, one great soul,
When a single member’s afflicted by pain,
Renders with pain other members to turn,
You, with no compassion for the hurt soul
Can’t claim self human in part or in whole** - Saadi Shirazi

**This wheel of the universe that disconserts us
    We imagine it as a revolving lantern
    Consider the sun its flame, the Universe the lantern
    And we are like images passing within it.**      -Omar Khayyam

I didn't know it was your Birthday, dear Sott! Me too I wanted to wish a good day and almost 10 more years. Also to thank you again, even if I repeat myself, for all your good work, your endurance, your vitality, your love for the true and for humanity. My life is changing thanks to you, what can I say?

So...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! :hug2:

Happy Birthday/Anniversary to SOTT, Laura and the SOTT team for making it happen.

To say that SOTT has been a lifeline is both truth and understatement.  The life changes I have experienced since finding SOTT have been revolutionary. 

This is a good point in time to rededicate myself to supporting SOTT in every way I possibly can and up the effort level.

As Laura has just said in the "Books" thread:  We have all received so much, we do need to give back - and maybe before the door closes and we aren't able to ...  2012 is the year for settling up your debts, I believe.  I wouldn't put it off./i]

Happy 10th Birthday SOTT and all who make this great resource possible!!! I, too can't possibly say in words what having found SOTT has meant to the best life changes I could not have imagined. You gave me the final impetus to take step I had wanted to for a long time and finally began to move. For that I will always be grateful. :)

I can think of this network-group as a second, adopted family. I can think of Laura and Ark as the "parents" of this rather large family with all our amusing foibles. Occasionally there will be a "falling out;" a certain member may leave the family. But life goes on... and we all continue learning our lessons.

And from the first page we read:

Quote
"Britain was accused last night of falsely claiming that al-Qaeda terrorists had built a 'biological and chemical weapons' laboratory in Afghanistan to justify the deployment of 1,700 Royal Marines to fight there"

link still works!

They've been pulling the same BS for 10 years (and longer!)
