1. You are so right!!!
Last year, I got involved with the protests against the White House Nazis at Camp Casey and I never felt more in tune with the Great Mother while I was there. There was so much Love and Peace as we were all united against the Evil that has taken over the country and now attacks other peace-loving brothers in the Mideast. I had my drums with me and as I beat them, I felt soooo alive. I knew that if we didn't change things and soon, the Great Mother will have Her revenge against all of us. But, we can still change the world before its too late. I like to go out to Sedona and feel the vibrations from the Mother as I get tuned in to her. If we can get the Evil out of the White House, and put someone in that will actually Honor our Mother Earth. There will peace and love like the world has never seen before.

3. Peace canardly be had if Delusion/Fantasy runs amok amoung us
The GOP has exposed itself by neglecting the Principles of UNITY by going for the Opposite...the Divisive Path...

We must work harder and more creativily......

2. I hear you. And recommend.
I've been active in environmental causes my whole adult life. These last six years have been heartbreaking.

We use to win some. Yes we would lose many fights, but some we would win.

Now a win is so far and few between that it is a struggle to keep up the fight.

I do not believe even with a Dem win in 2008 too many things will change because with the DLC's stranglehold on the Democratic party, corporate interests will rule over the environment almost every time.

4. Things can dramatically change if the right approach is used
The Dems must demonstrate a desire for the COMMON GOOD and show us models and proto types.

5. Here's one thing that needs to stop NOW
We stopped by the Appalachian Mountains on the way back home to Hawaii from the east coast and filmed a guy we heard about who has been trying to protect the Moutains for 20 years from a process called MTR, Mountain Top Removal, and when I say REMOVAL I mean it.

They Literally BLOW the whole tops off these mountains and scoop up the coal to cart away and burn and fuck up the air some more...

I have FILM of them actually MINING GRAVEYARDS. I asked the guy, when the last time in History was when PEOPLE were burned in Ovens by an Authoritarian Group, he grinned, he knew what I was talking about. He said he's had everyone from Mike Wallace to Ophra come there and all he gets is LIP SERVICE, stuck between Michael Jackson and Britney Spears for a three minute spot.

When they started mining his 50 acres were the LOWEST spot in the Mountain Chain, NOW they are the HIGHEST.

Entire towns are DROWNING, a Three year old was killed by a Five ton boulder in his bed.. there are TOXIC chemicals, lethal combinations in holding ponds and seeping down into the groundwater. When they blow these hills, hundreds of boulders fly for miles, some crush Trucks and people. You should see the guardrails, smashed from the TOP, not the side.

Here's some Windows Media that I threw together for him, he wants and needs Robert Redford to set down the Caribou and come show his FACE in those Mountains for a bit, I promised Mr Gibson, the "Keeper of the Mountains" that I would Help him.

If I help him I'm helping the earth as well, eh? Turn up those speakers :)

Anyone know Robert Redford? I got a film for him I'd like to make, this short was just one evening's work (not the filming, that took all day), and I'd like to go back to this brave man and let him know that the Calvary is COMING.
