What would you do if - SUPPORT OF FUNDS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE NO ISSUE? DO THAT NOW!!!!!!
1. Meditate on this question for as many minutes, or hours as necessary to arrive at a deep, gut level, heart level answer: What would you do if - SUPPORT OF FUNDS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE NO ISSUE?
2. When you arrive at a strong get sense, BEGIN. DO THAT NOW!!!!!!, or say goodby to Life, Love, Passion, Meaning, Worth to Humanity, Destiny, Calling, Fulfillment, God...; and say hello to emptiness, sadness, meaninglessness, harmfulness to others (you'll spread the disease), waste of life, joylessness, lifelessness... TRAGEDY.
This is the path to Life traveled by ALLLLLLL that have found It. Can you think of any exceptions? There are none.

If students are the hope of a sick society, what does that say of the non-students?
What does that say of we older folk - mid 20's an up? Not good. We are the obstacle to the young, counter to Life, Truth, Love. This is NOT a function of age per se. It is a function of atrophy, and immersion time in the toxic bath of western cultural values, that we must shake off or God damn us for being an obstacle to the future, theirs AND OURS.
They are aLive. We older tend to die, but that is not what God, that is not what our genes ordain.
The indispensable intellect Ashley Montague said in the mid 1900's, in his book "Growing Young," and I paraphrase, "I aspire to die as young as possible, as late in life as I possibly can."
****Students hold mother of all lobbying days
"Lobby days" are a Washington staple. But the one held Monday was unique both for its size and who participated.
More than 12,000 high school- and college-age students attended Power Shift '09, a four-day conference organized by the Energy Action Coalition (EAC), a consortium of environmentalist and progressive student groups, held at the D.C. Convention Center over the weekend.

The impact? I lose half my daily computer time because the time at the Peace Vigil, well, now that is out. Yes, I can hear the cheering from some. In any case that is the deal, so all of my 4 sites will suffer. It is a funny God we have. Or does something like this happen because we IGNORE that God?
POWER SHIFT 09. "And the children shall lead us." SL finds hope for the first time. As sliver.

StartL, JUST SAW YOU ON NEWS CHANNEL 8 - CLIMATE ACTION / MARCH / PLANT LOCK DOWN
START,
JUST SAW YOU ON NEWS CHANNEL 8, TWO MINUTES AGO :)
AND ACTRESS DARRYL HANNAH. ON THE COAL BURNING ISSUE!
WASHINGTON — More than 2,000 clean-energy activists converged at a coal-fired power plant on Capitol Hill on Monday for a protest they billed as the largest display of civil disobedience on the climate crisis in U.S. history.
Willing to be arrested for their cause, they encircled and blocked entrances to the plant, which powers the U.S. Capitol and House and Senate office buildings.
But this particular plant may be the least of the protesters' worries.
Less than a week before the rally, congressional leaders requested the plant's full conversion to natural gas. Organizers were taking credit.
"There are no gifts in this world," said Vermont author and environmentalist Bill McKibben told a cheering crowd. "There is only organizing and movements and people doing what it takes to make change happen and that's what we're doing."

Obama Ready for Battle With Budget Critics [He's a fool if he thinks we are going to join him. Right?]
"I know these steps won't sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business," Obama said. "And I know they're gearing up for a fight as we speak. My message to them is this: So am I."

Obama 'gearing up for a fight' [WATCH him g]]et slaughered!
President Barack Obama is beginning the salesmanship of his far-reaching $3.6 trillion budget with a populist blast at powerful interests he says will fight it – all but challenging his opponents to bring it on. "I know these steps won't sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business, and I know they're gearing up for a fight as we speak," Obama said in his weekly radio address Saturday.
PAINFULLY, I'VE FALLEN SHORT OF BEING AN AUTHORITY... UNTIL NOW...
EVERYTHING is at risk now. That means there is EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR, more than at any time in human history.
That means there is EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR,
more than at any time in human history.
Today is the best time in human history to be alive.
What a tragedy that practically no one sees this;
or Lives this.
Tragedy.
And soon
it will be
too
late.
'Humanity is certain to do the right thing! (after it has EXHAUSTED all other options!!!!)' [a play on a Churchill's words]
... as long as they are not too late.
"Too late" is being screamed at humanity by Mother Nature. I pray to God we will hear.
I try to be a Prayer to God
that we will hear,
in time.

****Tribute to a Humanitarian
If you see a world torn by famine and war and feel in some way responsible, you know the meaning of love.
If you see people with little or no hope and believe their survival is somehow linked to your own, you know the meaning of brotherhood.
If you feel those of us who have been blessed with abundance should share with those less fortunate, you know the meaning of charity.
If you can travel to the end of the world to bring hope to those who would otherwise never know it, you know the meaning of courage.
And if you can see a smile in the faces of those who should have no reason to smile, you know that there is still time."

Three set themselves on fire in central Beijing
http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSPEK66609
Three people set themselves on fire in the heart of downtown Beijing on Wednesday, state media and a witness said, and city police said they appeared to have come to the capital to voice "personal complaints". The trio set off the blaze in their car just before 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) at the intersection of the city's main Chang'an thoroughfare and high-end shopping street, Wangfujing.

*****Harvard professor named to Pentagon post Weapons-buyer appointee has criticized stockpile
BOSTON GLOBE: President Obama nominated yesterday Harvard professor Ashton B. Carter, a leading authority on arms control and a longtime academic, to serve as the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer.The choice of Carter to run the office that oversees hundreds of billions of dollars for new weapons and research - and is the focus of intense lobbying by defense firms, retired generals, and members of Congress - sparked concern within the defense industry and parts of the Pentagon bureaucracy when it was first rumored last month.But that may be exactly what Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates wanted.
