Shepherd,
Thank you for asking this and other questions, which provide a way to move inward, which is where all feelings reside as responses or reactions to outer stimuli, and our own "self-talk".

Dixon, Thank you for digging in to this. It seemed too good to be true. Slick marketing with "free" in the intro can hook many of us. But most of us know that there's hidden details. No company...

It's a sad day in community when speech that asks for accountability is censored. I hope there is a possibility for reassessment and resolution instead. We can all learn how to shift things from the...

After the Arizona clusterfuck, I decided to check on my own registration, just to be sure I don't have a moment of red fury when I'm oops-denied my vote for Bernie. So I logged in to the SoCoReg of...

I've been contributing small amounts, for the first time in my life, when my income is at it's lowest, but my belief in what Bernie stands for is at an all time high. Obama gave me hope, but he...

The PD picked up this topic of CRV recycling centers closing recently and did an article on it here.

The "this" I am referring to in my post is that many people, possibly most, did not know that reunifying the Square meant cutting down mature trees. The EIR does mention this but most people don't...

An excellent article by an Italian woman comparing Trump to Berlusconi.

I was thinking the same thing this morning. This is like the Bernie movement on a local scale. I don't have a job right now and I'll kick in a few bucks.

I will pledge $20 from my social security income. I hope to see others step up to stand up for our rights to be heard. Many small donations can make a big difference, as shown by Bernie Sanders. ...

Oh please......if Santa Rosa's courthouse square is the heart of the empire, we are all in trouble......

For me it's far more about the irresponsible money allocation. There are a LOT more important things to spend 10 million of our property taxes on and that take precedence over parking spaces by...

the heart of the redwood empire is being torn out - the redwoods there cut!
symbolic and actual.
