Apr 2013

the economy, people suffering, seniors getting their benefits cut....it's all so distressing. And the economic issues are more immediate that the environmental issues, while equallly important, have fallen in the priority list. The environment is one of my major concerns, but it's all too much for me to think about that I've had to focus on the economy, senior benefits, and unemployment and taxes first.

The people don't seem to have the power to fix any of it.
