Under the Bush administration, the FCC has decided to correct a horrible oversight. See, up to now, the Hearst Corporation (run by descendants of William Randolf Hearst) and poor Rupert Murdoch has been prevented, by government interference, from owning a few straggling newspapers and television stations. Now, thank goodness, action is being taken to correct [...]
Peak Oil folks keep saying that the sky is falling, and we’d better get ready. It seems like wishful thinking to me. Yes, sure, we’re running out of oil. But if you’re thinking that means we will no longer be able to depend on the folks with the power, that we’ll have to become human [...]

In February, I discovered the Group of 1000 (which is connected with the Conversations With God Foundation), and joined. Then I learned that there would be a conference, about a week away, in Ashland, Oregon, only a three hour drive. It was a free conference, and most retreats with Neale cost hundreds or thousands of [...]
I recently discovered Oso Delicioso,* which looks like a particularly pretty drive-up coffee kiosk, but is actually more of a real kitchen, with local, organic food! How cool is that? My friend (who had been on the lookout for places that serve local, organic food, especially affordable ones) said she wasn’t interested because she’s avoiding [...]
Good people have been trying to end poverty, wage peace, protect the environment, support women, improve education and prevent disease forever. And things do get better. But the problems persist. This is not how Humanity is meant to live. How is it possible that we pass someone on the street who is hungry and asking [...]
