About Me

Right now, I want to stop the toxic spraying around my home and would love to work with anyone in the area applying organic pest control.
UPDATE: We were able to stop the toxic spraying. I'm still amazed that by opening your mouth and letting the words flow, after engaging your brain, you can get something done--especially in your local community.
Another problem in Florida and several other states is the Junior ROTC program which takes youths of 11 years old and has them practicing military drills, handling firearms, etc.
CAUTION: RANT AHEAD...
With the current administration, I'm having problems focusing on just one issue since I STRONGLY oppose just about everything they have done.
Let's see: was able to focus on "a paper trail" after watching in horror from Chicago what went down in Florida in 2000. We do have some unrelenting activists (who need all the help they can get, so join in) working on voter's rights--like having your vote count. I oppose the imprisonment of people who are aka political prisoners. The erosion of civil liberties is a tad disconcerting and wiretapping is an invasion of privacy...sarcasm. I HATE people being tortured for any reason who are completely innocent and seriously folks is that a civilized way to treat a human being? I HATE the war on Iraq and the blundering idiot who put us there. This administration's "energy policy" and the continual assaults on the environment come out of the dark ages and is not helping with global warming, that's for sure.
Fundamentalist Christians taking over our country, not a good idea. Anyhow, Bush could become a full time job. Pick one issue. I can't, because they are all extremely important ones for this country I used to love.
End rant, well for now..;-)
I'm into macrobiotics, which has done some incredible things tor me, yoga (not nearly enough), studying alternative healing methods, hiking most of all, NATURE (left alone), growing things, knitting and love music. People who fight against all odds.
