The 24/7 news cycle and the accompanying cacophony of voices competing for attention meant that little time remained to understand the extent of the damage Hurricane Irene caused in Vermont.

So take a break from the political damage Hurricane Irene left in her wake (talk of forced budget cuts, underfunded government agencies) and take a minute to digest just how much Vermont needs the folks in Washington to get their heads on straight. —BF

When it comes to natural disasters we are all Black people in New Orleans now.  Get used to it.  It’s part of the spiritual decay in the country.  Nobody cares about anybody else.  It is not in the best economic interests of people unaffected by these disasters to notice those who are.  This is the philosophy of selfishness in action.

We need jobs providing for our mutual well being.

Restoring fisheries,coastal habitats,coral reefs, top soil replenishment, woodlands and wetlands and aquifers nation wide. Education, environmental awareness, health care, small organic farms and farming, localized green energy and transportation, affordable and sustainable housing and integrated communities.

This next century should be devoted to restoring the planet and our sanity.
