'From my church-step bed I generated 15,000 views of my youtube last night..' SL (more)
The sum total of donations I've received this last month is $10, that I recall. I've not done the math, but I'll guess I received $10 per minute when I worked for over-privilege.
I do a lot with what I'm given. Sitting on my granite bed in the 40 degree cold, as folks benign and threatening walked past, I watched, downloaded, parsed, and uploaded Pr. Obama's SOTU last night in 7 segments, and as of now about 15,000 viewings across all 7 segments.
I wonder how many, with infinitely more material resources than I, used them to similar impact during the same time.
We are really in trouble. Affloholic Zombie Addicts.

SL here. This will seem harsh, but I'm sure it is not -
I continue to fail those brought the closest to me. I'm sorry. What I'm referring to is my so-far, uncontrolled tendency to 'broadcast,' to SHOUT those revelations that are Given to me (emails, email, emails....) Over and over through the last decade I've struggled with this failing, made a little progress, but I continue to revert, too much. I'm sorry.
My point is, I'll continue to try, and probably make some progress.
The way YOU may experience that progress is by the withdrawal of my responsiveness to you. If this occurs, it will be as an intended Service to you, as your Brother, my Duty, the Duty of Love.
Here's the bottom line - What I'm CERTAIN I'm called to do is to share all that I'm Given at the blog below. Any of you that choose to not subscribe, or to not follow, consume the Daily Summary:
A. Will always be my brother or sister, that is, I will be yours!
B. But I promise to reduce my tendency to enable your Neglect, by withdrawing my responsiveness to you.
As Good (God) is my witness there is zero veiled in this note to you. NO, I do not Judge that you Should follow along. But I must Respect that if you do not, that is a significant indication I have little to offer You, and respect that, and if it is a poor decision on your part, to not enable you by my over-compensation, that has been my failing too, too, too, too... often.
But no, neither can I promise you that I'll not continue to fail you in this too often. But I know I'll try harder.

Bernie Sanders And Climate Activists Blow The Whistle On Congressional Oil Corruption
Bernie Sanders And Climate Activists Blow The Whistle On Congressional Oil Corruption
My comment on YouTube, Facebook and ClimateProgress.org:
By every measure of historical, moral, physical, intellectual standards, this is pitiful. Oh, these citizens have the right to do what they've done, legally. But McKibben hasn't the Moral right to hold himself up as some important leader, and at the same time act in a way that makes an entire mockery of the magnitude of the Environmental, Armageddon Doom that is all but certain unless people stand up now, today, with the courage of the 1920, 1930's blacks in this country, those like Steve Biko in South Africa, the 100's of thousands of young Egyptians just a year ago.... There is more at stake now, and the opposition is more vicious, criminally insane, powerful, and infinitely more hidden in the very fabric of western culture than ever the Earth has seen.

McKibben, you should be ashamed. You are not responsible for stopping this Armageddon. You are not responsible for who does or does not show up to fight. But as long as you hold yourself in the position you do, you need to measure up to the Bikos, Rachel Corries, MLK Jr's, Gandhi's, Wael Ghonim's in the COURAGE OF YOUR ATTEMPT, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.

Can't you hear the shrieks of laughter of the oil lobby at this carnival? Can't you hear the outraged cry's for vengeance by the soon to be certain victims of our failure of attempt, of courage, of Heart, of Conscience, of goodness of the world's leader on this issue? Spitballs were never going to stop the evil of Hitler. He's child's play compared to this. Insanely Humane Unviolent action is our only hope. STOP THROWING SPITBALLS. Step up to the job, or get out of the way. Nature abhors a vacuum. If you at least step out of the way, we may fill it in time. At least we'll have a better chance. Better yet, STEP UP. Be willing to fail. BUT BE UNWILLING TO NOT TRY. sl
