yanking us back to reality, and those vulnerable to the spinoff from human activity: speaking of the free-flying hawk (mentioned in #57) who freely chooses to share our air- and woods-space with us in spite of the inherent danger of living close to humans, and to all others so vulnerable in today’s world who may be hurt from mysterious causes we can only guess at, unless and if only we had the motivation and support as a society to measure accurately the causes and effects of so-called modern marvels, we could and can make progress in combating AND avoiding many of today’s ills.

Yes, Katymine. It is a mystery what caused your illness, and it is quite possible it was caused by mankind’s activities.

I do hope Obama’s humane, caring approach to leadership means he will, as soon is he is able, stoke the fires of research, quality control, health care, and every other related field, so we can face the future with more confidence than we ever believed possible during the previous administration. Lots of the knowledge is there already, but we need to redirect support and caring effort, and more research.

It is time for caring and nurturing, planning, sharing, and pondering deeply just where we are heading with our shared future, and acting. I think we have a chance to do so under Obama.

Oh heck. That crazy, beautiful wild hawk is reacting to his “inner clock” which somehow tells him it’s time to fly and do this & that which happens to display his grandeur, based on increasing day-length. Who am I to argue. As long as the rest of us in his neighborhood behave ourselves and let him be, he’ll have a brood off the nest again next summer.

oh wait.

there’s more than one ice cube in the tumbler.

No. Really. Smith Coll., hang yer head. You let one go & even published her stuff. Must’a been a hole in the filter back in the dark ages. *blush*

Thank you PhoenixWoman for this important article.

Thanks, saw that earlier too. This crazy neocon shit needs to stop now.

It’s so disgusting watching Obama lead the U.S. Navy to acts of piracy to help the Israelis piss on the Gazans.
