ARE WE REALLY LISTENING?

I was asked the other day if I remembered the riots and water hosing down on folks in the sixties. I didn't lie. I told the person no I didn't remember. I had just arrive here not too long ago. They shared their sorrow during that time and about the tears they had shed because of the turmoil. I was a little girl when this was going on. But I do remember hearing that Dr. Martin L. King had been killed. Though at that time I didn't know who he was. Nor did I know the power the man had within…

Eye for an Eye?

I saw a program on dog shelters this morning. In the aftermath, as a dog lover, I'm left with this question: If we can justify euthanizing a three-year-old collie for biting a child's hand as that child attempts to rip a half-eaten rawhide from his/her mouth, then can't we also justify euthanizing a child that severs a dog's head and sends it via post to that dog's guardian???



Remember: Both Hitler and Ted Bundy were once children; neither was ever a dog.

Home or Abroad?

When does living abroad actually become “home” for the expatriate and his or her birth nation subsequently become “abroad”?



I recently spoke to a colleague that has been living “abroad”—or “overseas”—for more than twenty-two years now. He no longer carries a U.S. passport, although he was born and raised in America. When conversing with him the other day, he mentioned something about “life abroad.” I asked him what he meant. He explained: anything outside America…even though he… Continue

Cheers to You, Lovely Lady!

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (a beautiful Pisces woman with Moon in Taurus. Mmm, just my type!) was elected president of Argentina on Sunday, by the widest margin recorded since the 1983 elections. Argentina now joins nations like Panama, Ireland, Britain, and even Canada in electing women to their highest post.



Meanwhile, the “progressive” and “liberated” U.S. still trips over itself, trying to shed its closet-misogynistic, Christian white male fetish while ardently adhering to… Continue

Storm Chasers Seek Thrills, But Also Chance To Warn Others

Discovering A Family Member's Lost Time In Amsterdam

Tech Companies Have A Lot At Stake With Immigration Bill

The tech industry is getting a lot in the Senate's immigration overhaul bill.

The industry's goals and tactics are antagonizing other groups that want to see the bill pass.

Dominique Venner, a well-known French historian who embraced and wrote about ultra-conservative causes for decades, committed suicide today in front of the alter at Notre Dame Cathedral.

"It will require new, spectacular and symbolic actions to rouse people from their complacency."
