Getting votes for the OBAMAs to GO VEGAN as a FAMILY !! www.Change.org/ideas/ search "vegan"
I urged the Obamas to "Go vegan! Go vegan as a FAMILY!" on Change.org
Thinking how time and the love of family and friends heal so much grief, sadness, and (hopefully temporary) dysfunctionality.

I'm OK with the bailout/partial buyout. The taxpayers have a reasonably fair deal. Now listen to Jimmy Carter on Zimbabwe. They do suffer

I have many well-formed thoughts on many topics - but very few soundbites. You can quote me on that.
DO 'friend' me in places where you haven't friended' me already: LinkedIn, 360, Multiply, Facebook, MySpace, Xing, PickensPlan, MyBlogLog
I like the new Digsby - My public urging "Please 'friend' me everywhere" has yielded hundreds of new 'online friends' - many worthwhile.

Thinking Terry Gross SHOULD be talking about Humane California and doing similiar referenda in all the other US states.
It's a rainy day outside; correspondence & filing indoors - massive amounts of materials should be put into a meaningful semblance of order.
