"Happiness is a smaller eco-footprint!"


The music you hear is "Yankee Doodle" arranged and performed by Mark McGuire

Thomas Jefferson had it right when he said: "An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic."
But one wonders whether Thomas Paine's 1776 observation, "In America, law is king" is still true.

"A revolution is called for, certainly. But not a political, an economic, or even a technical revolution ...
what I propose is a spiritual revolution ... Spirituality I take to be concerned with those
qualities of the human spirit - such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment,
a sense of harmony - which bring happiness to both self and others." The Dalai Lama

"Power concedes nothing without a demand." Frederick Douglass

WAR STORIES FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN
A Memoir in Short Stories
Highest level = Excellent! - Writer's Digest

"What I like best is the humanity of the speaker. Narrators often glorify themselves or the people they love and consequently attack those who might have ever hurt them slightly. It seems those authors do not approach their lives from a position of power. But this book is filled with real people with distinctive voices, made human and vulnerable by their standards and faults and are loved all the more for them by the reader. Especially wonderful is the perspective on the world, the philosophies and stories presented with reasoning throughout, as well as the various layers of actual war and the pyschology of boy and manhood ... the raw, relatable, vivid voice that is found inside ... the project is quite necessary and brilliant, and I hope it will come under the gaze of many a person interested at all in our world's history or the intelligent wisdom of one who has lived."

"Language matters because whoever controls the words contols the conversation, because whoever controls the conversation controls its outcome, because whoever frames the debate has already won it; because telling the truth has become harder and harder to achieve in an America drowning in Orwellian Newspeak." Erica Jong, Seducing the Demon

Cost of the War in Iraq
(JavaScript Error)
Since 2003
Note - This figure does not include our actual troop involvement
since 1990 or our military assistance support for
the Saddam regime going back to the early 80s.
Nor, sadly, does it say anything about American and Iraqi
lives lost and maimed, or the long term effects of our
widespread use of depleted uranium on the offspring
of both nations.

Make Art not War!
"War always empowers those who have a penchant for violence and access to weapons. War turns the moral order upside down and abolishes all discussions of human rights. War banishes the just and the decent to the margins of society." Chris Hedges
On The Vital Link Between Criticism And Creativity "Real creativity ... and real criticism share something that cuts to the heart of why art and literature matter to us: they are dynamic dialogues with what we've done before and what we will make in - and of - the future. As Oscar Wilde puts it: 'Surely, criticism is itself an art ... Criticism is, in fact both creative and independent ... The antithesis between them is entirely arbitrary. Without the critical faculty, there is no artistic creation at all, worthy of the name.'" The Guardian (UK) 09/27/07
