I heard it was in Utah. Does anyone know if this is right? What it was about? Or, really just what happened?

This is a little difficult to answer and depends to a great degree on your definition of lynching. Several sources assert that the last official lynching occurred in Mississippi in 1964 with the killing of three civil rights workers. Some point to the 1981 hanging of black man in Mobile, Alabama in retaliation for the acquittal of another man. Many consider the 1998 slaying of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper County, Texas. Some people consider the beating death of Matthew Sheppard in Laramie, Wyoming in 1998 a lynching. On that definition, lynchings continue today including the beating death of Daniel Fetty in Waverly, Ohio in 2004, for allegedly stealing a pack of cigarettes from another man in a bar.

glad that you mentioned David Koresh , how high was president Clintons numbers after the fbi burned down waco?  because the Fbi and atf started the fire after putting in explosive gas in the building. there was a wonderful documentary presented by HBO on this crime.

Actually, it makes perfect sense if you look at it as nothing more than a story meant to scare the superstitious herd, and keep them in line.\n\n"God promised to never do it again..." what crap.  This is a fail-safe, so that if the actual localized phenomenon never occurred again (and yes, it was local to the Euphrates region...check out the archaeological evidence), they can say, "See, god kept his word."

Wow! Some of the people that gave you answers should learn to be a little more excepting of other religions! Mormons probably think that their veiws are a load of crap too! Anyway, I think that you are over looking the fact that changes in the bible did cause a bit of controversy. And I think that maybe since The Book of Mormon hasn't been changed alot in the past (if at all), then they don't want to ruin such a holy and unchanged thing.

I saw this on tv before. I cant believe this is going on. \n\nI saw that there was a program to help women who left to get a better life, or were kicked out. It was a charity that helped them get jobs, housing and schooling. I thought it was a great idea, and it helped them with counseling to adapt to the real world.(and to forget the trauma) But the program didn't receive government funding I believe.\n Hopefully something will be done to help the men too, if this terrible situation gets more media exposure and the more people talk about it, hopefully the government will start helping these people like they should of in the first place. You cant hide a problem like this forever!\n\nI think I found the link to the woman's organization that helps the woman and teens escaping polygamist lifestyles.

There was a lot of talk about it, but it never happened. The mayor of Las Vegas even ordered an investigation, and nothing turned up.  Here are some links:\n\nhttp://2002.ksl.com/news-2860i.php?p=1 \n\nhttp://projects.is.asu.edu/pipermail/hpn/2001-October/004781.html\n\nhttp://deseretnews.com/oly/view/0,3949,50000021,00.html\n\nhttp://www.ci.slc.ut.us/Olympics/pressrel/0219_2.htm

It is with great trepidation I discuss the creation of the new nation.  It's current recreation is fornication which has lead to drastic dehydration and procreation.  We need to find a location for the re-hydration station as it's current situation is in need of relocation.\n\nI've done the paragraph and I am filled with humiliation at the state of my exultation.

who did it? well it wasnt the butler in the hallway wilh a candlestick. how many different arab leaders are there in U.A.E.?i wouldnt know.however, it had to be a terrorist group of the arab world. look at the names listed they were all arabic.as for the official story, what we read and saw on the tube was as official as it gets.information concerning this tragic day possibly was edited just to be on the safe side. what i mean is that the story probably had more to it than what was said ,but with the turmoil in the world today, the increasing price of oil and fingers pointed at everyone, why say anything to start trouble? personally i dont think our country is the most advanced in defense or technology.our computers are made up of japans experts and as far as i know our defense systems are made with the same technology. i think there a a few small nations in the world that have come a long way as we have but secrets must be kept.hopefully im wrong but,i have read and surfed the web,i had found many items of interest that are questionable.im not a trouble maker and i think any information gotten will be sufficient enough to sustain my curiosity. i served during vietnam and i enlisted and would do it again. this country is my home and i was proud to serve.

Congressman Tancredo is going to hold hearings on this, so I assume we will all hear more about it.  I think it is disturbing it was kept so secret here.  Apparently in Canada it isn't a secret at all.  They post the working group identities on their governmental web page.

Are you sure its a cartoon and not something that happened? :)\n\nActually something that did happen-one of our singers Charlotte Church met GWB and told him she was from Wales. He asked her which state that was in!\n\nhttp://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/church%20slams%20bush\n\nLink fixed

LOL...Good point! Give em something to think about!\n\n********\n\nNoah and his ark was actually a true story.....notice, I said STORY....not EVENT.\n\nThe Fertile Crescent had spring floods every year, due to the snows melting from the Ural mountains to the north. The story was a tale told at the time to get locals to prepare for the spring floods by moving to higher grounds or to build barges/floats, to keep above the flood waters.\n\nThe "story" says it was the "whole world" that flooded.....actually it was THEIR whole world.....people didn't use to travel a lot, ya know. the whole bible is a compiled group of stories just like this one.

A small county newspaper (15,000) outside Colorado Springs.\n\nIn fact, We're being threatened with a lawsuit by a former city councilman for a Brokeback Mountain parody last week. Sadly he's let his own homophobia blind him to the real spoof which was a huge city expansion project gone belly up (or Broken Back as the case goes.) TOO MUCH FUN!
