and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do something that I can do. edward everett hale

Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims -- laws that make misery for the poor, that rob my destitute people of dignity, exploiting defenseless widows, taking advantage of homeless children. What will you have to say on Judgment Day, when Doomsday arrives out of the blue? Who will you get to help you? What good will your money do you? (Isaiah 10:1-3, The Message)

There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad w/radiance. william sharp

reading material

when enough fiction has been read, try MY HEALTHCARE IS KILLING ME by parks, welty, hendrick. it's a small book but filled with a lot on info and sources for things like the average cost of services/providers, how to dispute claims and costs, ideas for selecting insurance, things to say and not say, etc. a good reference book for everyone

if you are ready to be angry, pick up TORTURE TEAM RUMSFELD'S MEMO AND THE BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN VALUES. Doug Feith undersec. of defense for policy (p 28) objected to rules or international law that gave rights and legitimacy to terrorist--might make sense you say. evil deeds deserve vengence. but that leads to no rights for americans anywhere considered terrorists to another country? how about Delahunty's opinion that the rules of Geneva didn't apply to al-qaeda or taliban detainees. so detainees anywhere can't hope for any of the geneva rules to apply to them. guess rules regarding humane treatment of prisoners are gone. therefore abu ghraib
