I'd better get out there and light that old candle right now and straighten things out. Hi, Irene/Andy, Yes! Thank-you for *finally* understanding that if you are not part of the solution that you are part of the problem! And that complaining is part of the tearing down that creates despair! and, that if you are not doing your part--that you are the same as the selfish pharma types, multi-national types who care careless about the environment [not their job--their job is simply to take care of the immediate business at hand--but isn't it a shame that xyz happens and no one does anything; or even the Bushite types [who take care of themselves very well and even the few cronies they have--just no one else because it is not something that they see themselves as needing to do--it's always someone else's 'job'.]..) THANK YOU for being open enough to understand that YOU are a person who can make change happen! Yes--you ARE part of the world. You ARE part of the community in which you live! You are a CITIZEN! And, as such, YOU are RESPONSIBLE for your corner of the world! Thanking Irene/Andy and wondering what community service organization she is going to place her efforts towards, Marlena in Missouri
