earth will survive, not looking as good for humankind...

As we drove over the mountains that lie between northern Nevada and northern California we saw several wildfires burning along the roadside. Fire trucks were scurrying towards several of them, along the way passing up smaller conflagrations ...

Reflecting upon this, it occurred to me that the impacts on humankind of our planet's natural forces are, after all, referred to as "acts of God"... Witness the trends... massive earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, disease epidemics, and yes, raging wildfires... The planet is a single, and in a very literal sense, a living organism. It, as an organism, will survive the onslaught of the human race's ignoble pollution and outright shameful destruction. She possess mechanisms that will ultimately work to cleanse it of the malady known as humankind... and we work with earth to hasten our own demise... Rise Rainbow Warriors!!! Rise!!!

Peacekeepers and Aid for the People of Darfur


This April the House and Senate appropriations committees are considering supplemental appropriations bills that should include funding for humanitarian aid and peacekeeping operations in Darfur. The U.S. government is currently $334 million short of its expected contributions to United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) for FY08. Some $50 million is needed to transition African Union peacekeepers to UNAMID, and to provide essential transport equipment for them to protect civilians in Darfur. Famine and disaster assistance is short $335 million to provide to provide for the needs of displaced Darfuri and other civilians. We need you to ensure that your elected officials support this critical funding for Darfur. Contact your Senators and Representative today to request their active support for funding for UNAMID peacekeepers and humanitarian assistance for the people of Darfur.

"Black Americans were a founding population," she said. "Africans and Europeans came here and founded this country together — Europeans by choice and Africans in chains. That's not a very pretty reality of our founding."
