Quotes on 'Racism'

Kurissyma — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 07:45:47 CDT

"Collective fear stimulates the herd instinct, and tends to produce furiosity towards those not regarded as members of the herd" - Bertrand Russel

"I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white man would be coming intomy neighbourhood after dark" - Dick Gregory

"In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently" - Harry A. Blackmun

"Accomplishments have no colour" - Leontyne Price

"If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out." - Marian Wright Edelman

"But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our respone?" - Robert F. Kennedy

Quotes on 'Friendship'

bea-l — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 01:23:14 CDT

"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?" Abraham Lincoln

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much;
he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me... you brought another friend... and then there were three... we started our group... our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That is why they call it the present." Eleanor Roosevelt

"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow." Alice Walker

"I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you" Ann Richards

"True friendship consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value." Ben Jonson

"Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer." Ed Cunningham

"When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it." Edgard Watson Howe

"Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking." George Eliot

"True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance." Henry David Thoreau

"It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter." Marelen Dietrich

"Friendship is a sheltering tree." Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." William Blake

Global Warming

bea-l — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 02:21:46 CST

Global Warming. Well, what is it? A cruel and unusual way for parents to convince their kids to play less video games? A threat made by political leaders to gain support for unrelated campaigns? Or is it just a totally real and destructive thing that is happening to us right now?

You decide.

It's a big phrase. The big phrase. It's everyone's worst nightmare, but hey, - let me tell you something. We're living it! And if we don't wake up soon that's all we're going to be. A dream. A nightmare. A civilization that had it all but gave it away- well, guess what! I doubt they let you have forty minute showers in Heaven either!

We need to do something! Something big! But first- we need to understand what powers the Forces that Be hold and for that - it's necessary for me to explain: What is Global Warming?

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the Earth's atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise dramatically.

The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real and the result of our own activities- don't go pinning ths on nature! We're already seeing changes but it only gets worse from here.

Go here for more information on Global Warming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming

Here's what is already happening:

- Glaciers are melting

- Plants and animals are being forced from their habitat (and)

- The number of severe storms and droughts is increasing

An Inconvenient Truth:
http://www.aninconvenienttruth.com.au/truth/
(it may take a long time to load, but it's worth the wait)

Here's the -EVIL!!!- facts:

- The number of Category 4 and 5 (mega bad) hurricanes has almost doubledin the last 30 years - Before it devestated New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina was a Category 1 hurricane at southern Florida. But when it passed through warmer waters due to global warming it, overnight, transformed into a Category 5 storm.

- Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7000 feet about sea level- This because air temperature is also rising so bearers of malaria can climb to higher heights and destroy animals like mountain goats etc.

- The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.

- At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.

If the EVIL continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences!!!

-Deaths, from global warming will double in just 25 years - - - to 300,000 people a year!!!

- Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet, with the loss of ice shelf in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide - that means landmark bodies of water will be flooded with water, including Botany Bay, Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Vietnam Canals would double in depth, Shanghai Bay, the shores around the Suez Canal, New Zealand, the great lakes in Canada, mid - America and many more!

- Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense- Help a girl out! We're already dying here in Australia!

- Droughts and wildfires will occur more often

-The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050- that would mean the extinction of cute and fluffy POLAR BEARS!!!

- More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050- I'll still be alive! I don't wanna see Polar Bears and bunnies die!!!

There is no doubt that we can solve this problem. In fact, any person with half the moral sense of a goldfish would want to help! Well here's how!

1. REDUCE YOUR IMPACT AT HOME

- Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb (CFL)

CFL's use 60% less energy than a regular light bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of Carbon Dioxide a year. If every person in the U.S. alone made the change, they'd reduce carbo dioxide by more than 90 billion pounds! You can purchase CFLs online from the Energy Federation.

- Move your thermostat down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer -

Almost half the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has more tips for saving energy on heating and cooling.

- Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner-

Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

-Install a programmable thermostat-

Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or airconditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you $100 a year on your energy bill.

- Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases-

Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most efficient models. If each house in the U.S. replaced its existing appliances with the most efficient models available, they could eliminate 175 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year!

- Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket-

You'll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can save a further 550 pounds per year by setting your thermostat no higher than 120 degrees Farenheit.

- Use less hot water-

It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (saves 350 pounds of carbon dioxide per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (saves 500 pounds of carbon dioxide per year) instead of hot.

- Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible-

You can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months a year.

- Turn off electronic devices you're not using-

Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

- Unplug electronic from the wall when you're not using them-

Even when turned off, things like hairdryers, cell phone chargers and televisions use energy. In fact, the energy used to keep display clocks lit and memory chips working accounts for 5 percent of total domestic energy consumption and spews 18 millions tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year.

- Only run your dishwasher when there's a full load and use the energy-saving setting-

You can save 100 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

- Insulate and weatherize your home-

Properly insultating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can save another 1,700 pounds per year. The Consumer Federation of America has more information on how to better insulate your home.

- Be sure you're recycling at home-

You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates. Earth 911 can help you find recycling resources in your area.

- Buy recycled paper proucts-

It takes 70 to 90% less energy to make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide.

- Plant a tree-

A single tree will absorb one tonne of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your airconditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day Foundation had information on planting and provides trees you can plant with membership.

- Get a home energy audit-

Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. You can take up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist.

- Switch to green power-

In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. The Green Power Network is a good place to start to figure out what's available in your area.

- Buy locally grown and produced goods-

The average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to a plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.

- Buy fresh foods instead of frozen-

Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.

- Seek out and support local farmers markets-

They reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you by one fifth. You can find a farmer's market in your area at the USDA website.

- Buy organic foods as much as possible-

Organic soils help capture and store carbon dioxide at much high levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we'd remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

- Avoid heavily packaged products-

You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.

-Eat less meat-

Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath.

2. REDUCE YOUR IMPACT ON THE MOVE

Almost ond third of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States comes from our cars, trucks and airplanes. Here are some simple, practical things you can do to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you produce while on the move.

- Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible-

Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emmisions a year.

- Start a carpool with you co-workers or classmates-

Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. eRideShare.comruns a free national service connecting commuters and travellers.

-Keep your car tuned up-

Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.

-Check your tires weekly to make sure they're properly inflated-

Proper inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every increase in fuel effiency makes a difference!

- When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel effient vehicle-

You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3 miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon with a hybrid!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Your actions to reduce global warming can extend beyond how you personally reduce your own emissions. We all have influence on our schools, workplaces, businesses and on society through how we make purchases, invest, take action and vote.

Spread this around your community and help stop global warming! You don't have to be a superhero to save the world - just start with shorter showers :P

Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions
You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action. Download toolkits for schools and businesses to take action outside of your home.

Join the virtual march
The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-political effort to bring all Americans concerned about global warming together in one place. Add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of other Americans urging action on this issue.

Encourage the switch to renewable energy
Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them. Take action to break down those barriers with Vote Solar.

Protect and conserve forest worldwide
Forests play a critical role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere -- deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Conservation International has more information on forests and global warming.

Consider the impact of your investments
If you invest your money, you should consider the impact that your investments and savings will have on global warming. You can learn more about how to ensure your money is being invested in companies, products and projects that address issues related to climate change here and here.

Make your city cool
Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global warming by passing innovative transportation and energy saving legislation. 194 cities nationwide representing over 40 million people have made this pledge as part of the Climate Protection Agreement. Find out how to make your city a cool city.

Tell Congress to act
The McCain Lieberman Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act would set a firm limit on carbon dioxide emissions and then use free market incentives to lower costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. Tell your representative to support it.

Make sure your voice is heard!
We must have a stronger commitment from our government in order to stop global warming and implement solutions and such a commitment won't come without a dramatic increase in citizen lobbying for new laws with teeth. Get the facts about politicians and candidates at Project Vote Smart and The League of Conservation Voters. Make sure your voice is heard by voting!

Whatever Happened, song by Becky C.

bea-l — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 05:04:16 CST

This isn’t how I pictured life,

The scores I settled
Weren’t important.
Tears were shed,
And bones were broken.
The dreams we had
Are lying dormant

Whatever happened to the dreamer’s eyes?
When did the heartbreak and the sorrow
Turn the picture books to lies?
Bring death and pain to every ‘morrow

Who let the innocent be punished?
Why were the brave just left to die?
Who struck the fatal blow
And killed this world of mine?

Somewhere along the lines
The promise for a better nation
Slipped away and left behind
Petrol fumes and Central Station
Whatever happened to the open plains?
Whatever happened the carefree days?
Whatever happened to the people
Who would make things stay the same?
Is there a place, I might go?
Where the air is pure enough to breathe.
Tell me and give me hope,
That we can still save my home

Whatever happened to the dreamer’s eyes?
When did the heartbreak and the sorrow
Turn the picture books to lies?
Bring death and pain to every ‘morrow

Who let the innocent be punished?
Why were the brave just left to die?
Who struck the fatal blow
And killed this world of mine?

What happened to Martin Luther King
Back in ’63?
What happened to the people
Who made the Negro free?
What stole the spirit of the wild mustang?
Who clipped the dragons wings,
And pulled its mighty fangs?
When the darkness falls over a bright blue sky
When the clouds pass over the sun
It doesn’t stop me flying high
The rain never harmed anyone
And when- the lightning strikes
When the footprints fade away
When it all seems lost
The earth will spin another day

Whatever happened to the dreamer’s eyes?
When did the heartbreak and the sorrow
Turn the picture books to lies?
Bring death and pain to every ‘morrow

Who let the innocent be punished?
Why were the brave just left to die?
Who struck the fatal blow
And killed this world of mine?

If there’s a hope to save our world
Why doesn’t ev’rybody try?
Why can’t the rich bend down to help the poor,
To staunch the tears the saddened cry?
Why can’t the poor aspire to greatness?
And take what’s rightly theirs
Why does half the world wear velvet,
While their burlap still has tears?
Whatever happened to the good ole days?
‘Cause I remember well,
When no one jumped off buildings
Just to see how fast they fell.
When science was a toothpick
And technology, a fork
When we were happy with the world
Or so, back then, we thought.
Before the giant factories
Took the place of man
And the Industrial Revolution
Left them eating from trash cans
Before all this, the grass was green,
The sky was baby blue
The sea was filled with fish
And of a cleaner hue.
But now the world is falling
To the “genius” of today
The world is wrought by iron bars
And the grass is more like hay

Whatever happened to the dreamer’s eyes?
When did the heartbreak and the sorrow
Turn the picture books to lies?
Bring death and pain to every ‘morrow

Who let the innocent be punished?
Why were the brave just left to die?
Who struck the fatal blow
And killed this world of mine?

- Name your Page. Note: the page's name is the title shown at the top. For example, this page's name is 'How to Contribute.'

- Keyword Tags. What this basically means, if you put 'charity' as a keyword tag, when someone searches for a page about charity, your page will be listed.

- Chose a template. A template is the sort of page you want. If you would just like to write on your page, choose Blank Page as your template. There are other options such as Text and Photo, Photo Gallery and Event Planning are also available.

2. Editing A Page

This is if you want to make changes to a currently existing page.

- Above each page's title is a button that says Easy Edit.To edit a page, simply click on this and the page will appear as writing in a text box.

- From here, you can simply delete or type up what ever you would like to add or even take away.

3. Linking the page(s):

-To link a page you have created (let's call it Page A) to an existing page (Page B), take note of (or copy) Page A's web address and Easy Edit Page B.

-Write down something about it, for example "Martin Luther King Jr's inspirational speech 'I have a dream' was etc. etc."

-Then highlight the part of the sentence you would like to be the link, "Martin Luther King Jr's inspirational speech 'I have a dream' was etc. etc." and click Link in the Easy Edit Toolbar.

-It will come up with a box saying "Enter an URL for your link, which is where you enter in Page A's web address and click "OK"

-The selected piece of writing (here, I have a dream) will change colour and become a link from Page B to Page A.

-Then, click "Save" in the Easy Edit Toolbar, then, you're done!

Help Save Alaska's Wolves

bea-l — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 06:11:34 CST

Hey guys,

I just took action to end the brutal slaughter of Alaska's wolves through aerial gunning at http://www.SaveWolves.org, and I hope you'll join me.

More than 150 wolves have already been shot dead under the state's brutal aerial gunning program so far this year. The Alaska Board of Game allows marksmen shoot wolves from aircraft, or use low-flying airplanes to chase the wolves, run the helpless creatures to exhaustion, then gun them down at point-blank range once they're too tired to run any further.

So far, the Bush administration has refused to use its power to stop the slaughter of these magnificent animals.

We must stop the slaughter of Alaska's wolves. Help me protect these magnificent creatures by clicking the link below to send a free message to President Bush and Interior Secretary Kempthorne urging them to enforce the Federal Airborne Hunting Act before it's too late for Alaska's wolves.

Please go to http://www.SaveWolves.org to take action now.
