What is it? Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 2262 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 7:39 pm:        I'm assuming this is a duplicate?

Is the reason related to anyone she knows? Her job? Political views? Religion? Education? Culture? Upbringing? Is Felolily a pacifist? Has she ever served in the armed forces? Does she know someone who has? Is she American? HAF?

If are pressing events to write editorials about, the poems have to wait. Please don't wait to start on my new puzzle!
