The Sea O' I have fought for this woman night and day against those of my own, their evil to stay. Then I turn to mount her borders and look her in the eye. She calls to me shaking her jagged rocks I am no fool, thousands in you have found some way to cry. O' The sea is a hard mistress, I'll not cross her any day. The sea is the breast of life, I'll not stand in a mothers way. The sea is an ancient witch, I'll not harbor her words that befuddle the mind The sea is a deep mystery, I'll not hesitate to learn of her in kind. I have struggled at your breast when I was a child I slipped between the roll of your many legs, you were so wild O' woman of my soul, thou are so vast and I am so small, be kind to me, least once again I fall. I scuba dived for four years when I was a teenager, in the Mediterranean. I can't tell you how many times she almost laid me in her darkness, But I was a young boy playing with a wild cat and didn't realize she was a tiger. Continue reading

Tonight I am who I am, tonight I am thinking like one of the people, I am Anishinaabek. Tonight I see. I will not forget. Continue reading

WILLIAM K. BLACK Treasury Secretary Geithner testified that in the circumstances they were dealing with at Lehman, "We were on the brink of the destruction of the entire global financial system." And then Chairman Bernanke testified how many people the Fed sent to Lehman to prevent us on the brink of global collapse. BILL MOYERS: And how many? WILLIAM K. BLACK Two.

Bring your son to the movie, it would be one of the kindest things you could do for him. Give him the knowledge now about what is happening to our world and the importance of his investment in saving it. I was recruited into the realm of ecology when I was young by a teacher and because I learned it when I was young I have ever since been morally conscious and socially responsible. I am a middle school teacher, he is already seeing far worse than this in his day to day life. He needs to know, we as a society need him to know.
