I've made several videos, and have more planned. Since my son, who is very popular there as a raving atheist, featured me, I've managed over 600 subscribers, and one video, Meher Baba vs. atheism, has a liget 1,200 plus views.

two other videos though, showing thousands of views, only have those numbers because my son temporarily had them on his channel with auto-play.

Come join the fun!

Peace and Love,

Jay

Its been fun, but I just haven't been blogging here, and thats that. However, I did just set up a new computer desk (haven't had an internet home connection for some time until now) and plan on getting back into blogging and social networking. This time though, I'm going to try the ever popular MySpace. You can find me at

Peace and Love,

I was really glad to run across this article about the former twenty-something head of the, otherwise gentrified, Sierra Club a few years back. I hadn't kept up on at all with this amazing environmentalist, Adam Werbach. See....

Werbach at Wal-Mart?

from yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle.

So.....the question is....is WalMart savable in a world desperately needing to turn towards sustainability, or should we try only to drive it into oblivion? Or, on a larger scale, when is it better to work from within a dysfunctional system to improve it, and when is it better to try and battle it to the end? I've tended to fall in with the cynical and the warriors, but Werbach's story is hard to ignore. Sometimes, I think, real changes only happen in small steps, and it's fairy-tale thinking to expect a corporation or political enemy to simply go away completely, no matter how much we'd like to see that happen.

Back to WalMart..... my biggest concern is that most everything they sell comes from far off China, and is shipped via a shipping industry with ships registered in foreign nations that have no interest in regulating environmental standards. The current situation is that those ships create as much pollution as the sum total of all the automobiles of the USA, and our oceans and ozone layer are suffering badly from those ships. Also, I've hated to see small family businesses go down the tubes when WalMart moves in. But, as Werbach says, when something as big as WalMart makes a move towards sustainability, there's a really big change.....far bigger change in carbon footprint than anything he was able to effect working in the Sierra Club.

I find the current race for Democratic nomination reflecting a similar diversity of attitudes when it comes to Universal Health Care. Myself, I have just about zero tolerance for or current Insurance Companies, who, after all, run with such a high profit margin in mind for bosses and shareholders, that they only pay out something like 10% in claims of the money they take in on selling policies. John Edwards says he'll stand up and fight them, as he's done in court as a lawyer. Barack Obama says sit down with them and negotiate, and his message of unifying seems very appealing to many. Hilary Clinton seems to have no problem taking money from pharmaceutical companies for her campaign.
