F * * k The Red Cross
I’ll never forget Hurricane Andrew. My stalwart-inclined father decided to weather it out in Homestead Florida where he had a condo with an add-on room.

This does not diminish the love and deep humanity within the … Continue reading Teachers, Healers & Initiates
Pragmatism Or Powerlessness
Democrats, independents, progressives, people of conscience; we're in the minority now in a way we haven't been in recent history - on new terrain never before traversed. We don’t face the type of majority opposition we’ve experienced in the past. Across the aisle might as well be across the abyss with respect to behavioral norms … Continue reading Pragmatism Or Powerlessness
