About Mother Earth Mother Earth it is time to teach those that do not know, so they don't get overwhelmed for this mighty cause. Soon they will be killing hundreds of geeze because you see they don't like goose poop, it destroys the scenery in our parks - and people are picketing this disaster. A natural disaster, actually, as man has unbalanced mother earth's perfect nature. About 20 years ago, they shot the wild stallion mustangs down in Montana as they were starving to death. In Australia they had a horrible time with so many rabbits. They too had to be exterminated, because of man playing around with nature. You see, people are calling out save the trees - we do! Paper is a natural resource and trees are grown for the special purpose to make into pulp every seven years, then slashed down again and replanted for the things that we humans waste. But, plastic comes from the dinosaurs and cars of gas still do roar because of corporate giants that want to squeeze the last DIME out of this natural resource. We all do sit and go along while MONEY rules this earth -- and while there is money - there will always be wars. Vietnam was a perfect example of a war that need not be, - but Johnson had many investments, don't you see!? Hemp would be a better thing to plant ---to make clothes and run a car without gas. And provide a way to help stop pain But the hemp law never gets passed. My goodness, the corporate giants would be quite stung, by allowing hemp to grow. You won't see a lot of cars out with electricity, until the OIL GOD's have depleted their money making industry. So, while all this is going on we little guys are now wiser -- and there are things we can really do - Separate your garbage recycle don't smoke drive as little as necessary turn down your heat don't burn plastic don't use stryo foam try not to use disposable things Don't buy dyed papers, as the dye does pollute Make sure your septic tanks are up to code And, when you hear of an oil spill that is near - GO out and help. Take your used batteries to those that recycle them Then take your car oil to be recycled as "bulk oil" If it were perfect, our waste sites would use incinerators I wonder why they don't? Probably because it is more profitable to bury it instead. Don't give up, because we can't run our government and their money --but we can all do little things for mother earth so that we can know that mother earth has many years to go. Last year in our county a man with a creek on his land - made a generator ran by a paddle wheel - and had a perfect septic tank, set the 100 feet from his well. But the electrical company, said NO way you got to be hooked up -- And his house they had condemned. He finally, did win! And, is living there now! But it is just a point to show how companies run by investors can try to get every dime they can make. One person with a voice as this story is told should know ---we are a mighty people and our government is only run by a few -- doesn't make sense, does it now, as we go out and vote? And, those of you, who don't take the time to vote on these issues, get off your butt and get out of lethargy and do something. Right now they are experimenting about voting on line, and who knows soon there will be a better voting turn out and that is for sure. Also, on line you can do your shopping -Saving much pollution and wasted gas. I vow to mother earth this day April 22, 2000 that I will start with me, as I am the only one who can change me. No meat I shall eat, and "no hunting" signs I will place throughout my land -- I shall plant a tree today, in your honor - and since its spring I will plant more seed and start tilling the garden. This I vow to you. No plastic straw shall pass my lips and nor will I use styro foam or plastic cups, ever again. I already do many things, but have been slacking - I vow to you, that I will do a lot more. Mother Earth Day ----! netswan |

LOL ---that to me is so funny, Jeffrey You don't know me, my friend. --) Once I was asked to speak in a small community church for the first half hour as my preacher friend couldn't get there on time. All I did was introduce myself, and said "I don't know the procedure here, but probably wouldn't follow it, even if I did!" I can still his face when he found his congregation rocking and swaying and clapping hands and rolling on the floor Hallelujah! I am sorry, Jeffrey, me in office, what a farce - -and besides, the red tape would have my hands tied, and I would be one frustrated server of the people. I am laughing again. I doubt that even the liberal party would vote me in. netswan --) |

PERFECT NS~ BTTT Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

netswan, I read this and I agree, too few run things around here. The story about the electric company trying to have the house condemed really made me mad. When we fight we can win these little wars. I think its not enough, its time to teach these little leaders a lesson. I think we should band together and go after these companies, they should no never to try and put the little people down. Its all us little people that keep this world going, and they don't realize that. Any company that does this should be sued for earth and natures sake, and the money put into funds to help these little people. Too often you see this happen, and its the big guy controlling the media. Hopefully the internet can correct this and get the truth out when we need it. Its a wonderful world lets not let it be destroyed by the greed mongers. If you see a cause go out and support them, it could be you next on the list. Parker |

Teresa - I agree, we all must do all that we can to care for Mother Earth. My wife and I recycle, and we do all that we can to preserve the earth's resources...but, you'll never see me going "veggie"...I like my steaks too much!
