Cuba's parliament, led by President Fidel Castro, set aside politics momentarily on Thursday and stood for one minute in silent homage to the victims of Hurricane Katrina -- before quickly returning to normal business and condemning the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

Hmmm, I think I know how to solve this. We'll split it. You can be the god of Right-wing angels, I'll be the god of left-wing leaning angels. :biggrin: How 'bout that?

Well what the heck is the purpose of having wings if you don't need them?
