CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PASSES BILL PROTECTING FARMERS AGAINST
”MONSANTO LAWSUITS”
First State Bill Regarding Genetically Engineered Crops

August 30, 2008 - A landmark piece of legislation protecting California’s farmers from crippling lawsuits was passed through both legislative houses this week in an end-of-session flurry. The Senate voted 23 - 14 to support it, and the Assembly was unanimous in their support. The bill, AB 541 (Huffman, D-Marin/Sonoma), is now headed to the Governor’s desk for his signature.

Viewing an ”I” ness that is making me uncomfortable.
Saved a lot of things from the 80’s.
I am working through those notebooks from the 80’s and
early 90’s now.
I am seeing lots of I ness.
My style of the observer
is true to my Soul Purpose.
”Through My eyes,
I am recording a History of Peace on Earth,
a history of the earth and its human flowering.
Our renewed earth is the Enchanted Garden,
and you and I, its gardeners.”
I would rather be upfront about my ”I” than
hiding behind some kind of multi-sylable thrid person.

From the story posted

I find it incredibly startling that McCain would choose a person he hardly knows for a job as important as the Vice Presidency of the United States. It is so obvious that he is doing this as a political tactic that it makes me question his judgment. Is that the way he will make decisions about our economy, our security, our well-being as ... read more What's Going on Astrologically? 16 y

Back from the Farmers’ Market.
There are still ghosts in my head of things
I need to do. Anxiety coming up.
”Don’t tell me you are going to vote for McCain?”
I ask Steve the Farmer. He is down on Beauracracy.
”Oh, he will likely die of old age in a couple years.
I like his running mate,” he tells me.
I persoannly have a lovely vision of little kids
on a swing set on the White House Lawn, with Papa Obama
and Michelle having fun with the kids.
I would like a photo of that right now.
I did not make much progress today with the Cleanup.

A hurricane again, Gustav plows toward Caymans
By MAURA AXELROD – 1 hour ago
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (AP) — Gustav became a hurricane again on Friday as it plowed toward Cayman Islands resorts, the start of a buildup that could take it to the U.S. Gulf Coast as a fearsome Category-3 storm three years after Hurricane Katrina.
Gustav, which killed 71 people in the Caribbean, was expected to swirl through the Cayman Islands, a tiny offshore tax haven stud ... read more The American Scholar by Emerson 16 y

After his talk,
the families of Barack Obama and Joe Biden
were on stage. The kids of Barack Obama were
skipping a little bit. My mind flashed ahead.
I could see these kids playing on the White House Lawn.
That is what America is all about.
I am glad we came as a nation to this day.
It was a profound speech.
I hope you listen to Barack Obama’s Acceptance Speech.
