"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall--confucius

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." anon

A man is but the product of his thoughts--what he thinks, he becomes. Gandhi


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

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

new year

What inanities exist so far? How about nailpolish at Meijer's that says liquid made in US, filled in China. So it's cheaper to make it here, ship it, fill little glass bottles in China and then ship it back? Stupidity. Seems a company with US workers could do it here. Try to buy NOTHING from China and check all labels especially food and pet supplies. Notice that many places now say "Distributed by"? Aldi's is a good example but also others, even major brands. I try NOT to buy those items.



Farm Bureau paper is full of articles supporting 2 opposite sides of issues or being in favor of something that obviously benefits 1 side while ignoring related negative issues. For cutting spending but for insuring that side roads are blacktopped/maintained so farm products can get to main highways. I don't need "good" roads to get out if I am prepared with good vehicle or plow so why should farmers expect it for them? Didn't use to have great roads but the milk truck got down our road, maybe with farmer helping plowing/shoveling the roads. Get out and do it farmer boy. Getting soft? Grab your shovel if you have too but don't put wasted $ in roads. Why farm supports? Seems the farm lobby wants them to continue but if we let the market decide, wanted/needed products will survive. Pull that $; isn't that like a bank bailout which so many didn't want? Let everyone raise his/her own food. No room for a cow? Guess you didn't plan correctly and it's your own fault. NO to subsidies. Page 5 in the Dec 15, 2010 Michigan Farm News:

"...In making decisions regarding regulations for food safety, we must keep in mind a balance
between risk and over-regulation that hinders entrepreneurial opportunities". (LET business
rule?) "We believe local roads should receive a higher priority" than primary systems.
WAIT! Primary roads are major roads. Why shouldn't they get the main attention? I chose
to live on a gravel road so it is my responsibility to be able to get to a main road isn't it?

Here's a good one for all people with drug allergies: p. 5 still "The limitation or elimination of
animal antibiotic use from the livestock industry will have negative economic and animal
health consequences". Shoot 'em up farmers; it's an economic issue but not a human health
issue.



I sure love how the Republicans worked to block the 9-11 health bill. But maybe they were correct. Why should 1 group have special privileges when they are now promising to dismantle the health care bill? NO ONE needs health care do they? If someone can't even afford to purchase it--check the prices for a reality check--it must be his/her fault. Bad choices no doubt. Lost a job? Your own fault; bad choices.

Alternatives to this crisis? Let's blame something/someone else. Forget the cost of wars (only 59% of 2010 budget); that's money well spent. Got it--too many illegals, too many Muslims, too many on assistance, too many lazy people.....too many people who we don't like. It HAS to be someone else's fault, never the person in the mirror. What is the greatest commandment? To love. . . . . . . . Oh that's right, churches don't cover that anymore do they?
