We need to fix this financial crisis, but giving $700 billion to Bush's Treasury Secretary to spend as he wishes is over the top. The Bush administration is basically holding a gun to Congress' head saying, "Give us the money immediately or the [...]
One of the reasons I started blogging nearly 4 years ago was due to my frustration with what topics the mainstream media covered. Too many important issues were ignored or given poor coverage.

I'm reprinting a post from Dee's 'Dotes here because I think this is a very important issue. Sugarhouse recently lost big time against a anti-good-urban-planning property owner/developer. This is where there needs to be a balance between capitalistic views of private property and a good understanding of the commons. We [...]

In the winter I got tired of trying to traverse all the ice on sidewalks which was especially bad this year since we had so many snow storms. After taking two falls on unshovelled walks that had turned into solid [...]
Supporting local agriculture is a no-brainer for most greenies. The average distance an item of food on your plate has traveled is approx. 1500 miles -- that's an awful lot of fossil fuels. Supporting local agriculture is also an investment in the future. As we reach and pass peak oil, [...]
