Memo to Danes: Even You Cannot Control This Summit
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 12:45:41 in Green
“I was up early hoping to catch news of the rally/parade.
I say parade because I would rather watch the rally/walk for climate action than a Santa Claus parade.
What did CBC do, focus on the police and possible violence.
I wanted see the people, the signs, the costumes. the singing and dancing.
For sure I emailed them”

What's Happening To Women's Happiness?
Commented Sep 17, 2009 at 13:48:33 in Living
“As a woman I have been stressed since childhood knowing that men were treated preferentially and had more power.
Now that I am a grandmother I am stressed by the destruction of the environment, the terrible thoughts from right wing people and religious fundamentalists and my personal biggest stress is from the ubiquitous use of the AUTOMOBILE. I can't seem to escape the NOISE and toxic fumes and am thoroughly myffed that our society has been built to serve the automobile and its uses and abuses.Whe n I saw that we overlook this and got myself an electric bike to do my errands and pledged to use public transit I discovered how horrible it is to be in the midst of all these automobiles. Total Stress and no peace and that makes me VERY UNHAPPY!”

This and the election night speech are BEST EVERS in the history of American politics (in my humble opinion)

Guantanamo Detainee Suggests Moving Guantanamo Detainees to Ramada Inn

“Its a very good idea. They have not been proven guilty. It would create a better image for America. Ramadan Inn.!!!
And it surely would be cheaper, and improve the morale of prisoners. Only problem is, they might make up stories to stay there, rather than have to be tortured to make up stories.
Being Canadian, we want our Omar back home!
He was a child, and the psychological damage suffered while being imprisoned so long will get worse.”

Don't you think its time the deaths and injury stopped, or does this mean that in the next 50 years we will still see more deaths and autism rates going higher?
I don't think this is a success story on vaccines = and at least one person is admitting it.”

Susan Boyle Superstar
Commented Apr 25, 2009 at 00:02:47 in Entertainment
“The next day, a PR man who works for Simon Cowell admitted that Simon had heard her perform in the preliminaries.”
winkin replied on Apr 25, 2009 at 03:24:35
“Not exactly.
The preliminaries were in Glasgow on Oct 22, for the producers.
She was called back for the audition on January 21, where 40 acts were judged and recorded.
A number of those acts were then edited for the broadcast on April 11.
Max Clifford, Britain's PR guru, mentor and friend of Cowell said last week that Cowell told him, and others, weeks before April 11 that they had to watch the first episode because there was an extraordinary act. And hinted that helped in getting immediate media coverage, especially in the US.
What happened between October and January... . I don't think we'll ever know. Certainly not from Ms Boyle herself who, as is usual with those shows, must have a strict confidentiality contract.”

Neil Young is just part of the selfish lot who cherish their automobile while the rest of us pay for it while waiting in the rain and cold to serve Americans for less than a living wage while people roar past in their automobiles gassing us with their stink.
OK, electric will be quiet, and not stinky, but we will still have to to hang out at the bus stop.

“While I agree we should be investing much more in public transit, that is not always the feasible option. I live in a semi-rural area and work in the next county, about 25 miles away. We do have some bus service, not nearly enough or enough routes, and I would love the option of taking light rail. With the population in Utah, however, it's not feasible to build light rail outside of the Salt Lake valley. And, even with light rail there are days when people have to drive, doctor's appointments, etc. We need to invest in multiple directions, first and foremost should be alternative fuel and energy.”
