floods in Pakistan and an ice sheet breaking off Greenland, have renewed

such as House Global Warming Chairman Edward Markey that climate change

How are you celebrating the 4th of July online?
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.

Thinking like one of the people
There is a way of seeing this world, an old way, one that not everyone can see or understand, but to even share it with them is almost wrong because they do not respect that which is sacred.
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

Why the President of the United States may not have the power to win Bank Reform
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. They have a staff of thousands. This is criminal negligence except, because he's a federal employee, we can't charge him with a crime.

A friend of mine just sent me this: " I would call it ironic, but that seems too flip when people die for lack of health care in this country. Palin Crossed Border For Canadian Health Care Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.

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.
