Whither the grey wolf

It is all gone. The color that is. The stunning array of color I saw this morning when I stepped out of the house to walk the dog. The reds, purples and the pinks on the horizon, reflecting of the clouds as the sun approached, warning of its imminent arrival in a spectacular display of intense color. Only nature can provide such a display. The subtle nuances and the constantly changing tones and mixtures of hues and intensity are unique to nature. Man simply cannot match it.
 
The grey wolf will also soon be gone if the current administration continues with its plan to take the grey wolf off the endangered species list.  Of course I expect no less from an administration that clearly does not care two hoots about the environment and the creatures that live in it, including us. Once the grey wolf is no longer protected it will again be at the mercy of the millions of mindless morons with hunting rifles that take pleasure in killing wolves for the simple pleasure of killing.  There is no value in killing a wolf. There is no need to kill a wolf. It is pure unadulterated and mindless pleasure seeking. (Who gets pleasure form killing a majestic animal that is simply trying to survive I don't know, but history has shown there are thousands, if not millions that do).
 
Let's keep the color in the sky, let's keep the grey wolf protected.  It does not stand a chance without us helping. Let's get an administration that cares about us and our environment again.
 

A little rough, but the message is right.....

I heard this on the radio today. Eric Schwartz Someone else that is tired of the religious extreme trying to tell us all how to live and dictate outrageous new laws that fly in the face of the Constitution trying to force us all the live their way. This is America. We all have the right to live the way we choose as long as that does not harm others and infringe on their rights to do what they want.

We really do need a change..............

I had dinner with some folks in Minneapolis one night last week. It was rather refreshing to talk to people who have not all been dragged into the broken world of the reigning White House. People who do not believe all the nonsense, and some that have been shown to be outright lies. Who agree that we should never have attached Iraq. That we are now less safe than we were before. That Iraq has now been turned into a terrorist breading ground. The exact opposite of what we supposedly set out to prevent. What seems to be forgotten is that Iraq was a sovereign country. Right now it is an occupied country dancing to the puppet masters music. But, step back, if we attached Iraq because the leadership was so horrific and we needed to 'free' the people, are we going to do the same for every other suppressed nation in the world. Free all the oppressed and topple every regime in the world. I think not. We would have to invade over half the nations in the world, by the way that would include our beloved Israel. Here is country that is oppressing thousands, torturing and killing daily, yet we send money, weapons, technology and who knows what else to help them. We speak with forked tongue.

I am not a religious person, so I cannot say that I pray for a change in the White House this year, but may all the powers of rational thought prevail to bring about the change we need, just about anybody else could do a better job that the current bunch.
