To solve the problems that we are facing today we need to start with source reduction and practice serious conservation. And grow our own foods!
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- For ALL
"The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
""Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"" cries she
With silent lips.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

"Few people today call themselves populists, but I think most are. I'm not talking about the recent political outbursts by confused, used, and abused teabag ranters who've been organized by corporate front groups to spread a hatred of government. Rather, I mean the millions of ordinary Americans in every state who're battling the real power that's running roughshod over us: out-of-control corporations. With their oceans of money and their hired armies of lobbyists, lawyers, economists, consultants, and PR agents, these self-serving, autocratic entities operate from faraway executive suites and Washington backrooms to rig the economic and governmental rules so that they capture more and more of America's money and power."

Taos Threatened AGAIN by Military Training Route Overflights
If the U.S. Air Force gets its way, some of Taos sacred
places will become official Low Altitude Tactical Navigation areas.
Training flights from Cannon Air Force Base are being planned to come
roaring through the Sangre de Christo Mountains and throughout Northern
New Mexico and Southern Colorado. The plan is to train pilots to operate
at high speeds and very low altitudes an average of three times a day.
The Air Force posted a relatively obscure notice on page B10 of last
weeks Taos News indicating the comment period on the program will close
October 4th .

. What is the Air Force Special Operations
Command (AFSOC)?
AFSOC, headquartered at Hurlburt Field, Florida, was
established in 1990 to provide Air Force Special Operations Forces (SOF)
