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

I think no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth? edward giobbi

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. marcel proust

I am only one, but still I am one.I cannot do everything,but still I can do something;and because I cannot do everything,I will not refuse to do something that I can do. edward everett hale

Anger/BP

Hard to believe that BP rented the drilling rig from Transocean and was able to write off 70% of the rent or about $225,000 per day!

Transocean moved its corporate address offshore in '99, Houston to Cayman Islands to Switzerland, avoiding $1.8 billion in taxes!

Clean up work in the Gulf used inmates but the Inmate Labor lettering was replaced by BP shirts, jeans, etc with no prison markings. Ok use them. You don't pay them but they can work. However, BP is getting a "work opportunity tax credit of $2,400 for every work release inmate"! This tax provision was passed during the Bush administration--way to go.
