We’re now three days into the Donors Choose initiative, and greatly appreciate the kind contributions from Emily, Martin, Marsha, and others to our giving page.
Donors Choose is a wonderful campaign that provides a way to make direct donations to classroom projects during these difficult economic times when our nation’s schools are in trouble. A projector, construction paper, calculators… gifts go to purchase these kind of basic materials that every child should have access to. So support our kids and teachers. All donations are tax deductible and you get to decide how your money will be used.

After 8 long dark years of denial, duplicity and death-dealing, it is surely a breath of fresh air that President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Finally, leadership with vision and hope has been restored to a lost world. Perhaps now we can be encouraged by this great man so that others will exemplify his kind of new leadership; so that, as the Nobel Prize Committee stated to and for all in the world, more leaders will stand up, speak out loudly and clearly for “diplomacy…founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.” If ever there was reason to hope for a good enough future for the children, it is now. The vision of what is best for the majority of humanity and not for a malignantly narcissistic, pathologically arrogant and extremely greedy minority, is something easy to apprehend and even easier to actualize in democracies in which the majority does really rule. The majoirity of people in too many democracies in our time have been surreptitiously manipulated by a remarkably tiny group of super-rich and powerful people who appear to have maniacally exploited democratic principles and practices for their own selfish interests…..come what may for the majority of humanity, the future of children, life as we know it and the integrity of Earth.
