"There is no ethnic group on the face of this earth that has not been slaughtered; viz Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Britons. When, after a conflict, the best balanced leaders who have a stake in the future of all persons, are bypassed, and instead power is seized by the angriest and ...
One of the interesting slants of the 'buy nothing new for 2012 project' is having to seek an alternative to the new product you would typically purchase. This project is great for highlighting how little I'm aware of how much i buy (and I'm definitely not a big shopper). This ...
My friend Chloe just sent me this picture that she drew a few years back. I absolutely love it! It's not such a good reproduction so I'll tell you about it. The boat is called 'friendship' and it is ...

Wow - I'm very happy! After sending a call far and wide to join my project of folding 1001 paper cranes for the Japanese tsunami victims - I received an overwhelming response from people saying they would love to participate.....but then nothing. I grew quite disillusioned (again) about lot's of talking and ...
Last night we watched a space show and the word 'violence' was used to describe the unmatchable nature of Black Holes.
