Waste is what irresponsible men create; what people who refuse to clean up after themselves leave behind.

Dirt is what Mother Nature provides to sustain life on earth. If we waste it, man's ability to sustain himself is jeopardized.

Yesterday it was Alabama. Next Tuesday it will be Arkansas.

The York Center for Wildlife on Cape Neddick, Maine is always looking for monetary and volunteer support.

For twenty-three years, our wildlife rehabilitation facility, its staff and volunteers have provided medical care, safe sanctuary and humane treatment for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife until they can be released back into the wild. The Center for Wildlife is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to rehabilitate and provide sanctuary for sick and injured wild animals, and to promote respect for wildlife and the environment.

And, for some reason, although the stewardship of our natural resources would seem to be a preeminent responsibility of the body politic, the CFW gets not a cent of public support. Which, of course, means that much time and effort has to be devoted to begging.

The requests are pretty specific. In addition to money, which is how the electric company, for example, expects to be paid, there's a whole list of other ways people can help.

There's a jolly little video HERE, to outline what's been accomplished by the legislation on health insurance reform sent to the President by the House and Senate, and to prompt some positive feedback to New Hampshire's own Jeanne Shaheen.

This was Al Gore back in 1992.

Then we let it get worse. Why?

Could it be that the party of "No-can-do," the Do-no-cans, count on Democrats to do the work for them?

In the interest of promoting a progressive web site that's not cluttered up with ads, I invite you to visit with me at Like the Dew.

First there was the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) now there's going to be a CFPA (Consumer Financial Protection Agency), largely because the CRA didn't give us the information we need on a regular basis.
