Hello from the cornfields of Illinois! On our way to Midway airport, the show last night was fun, however, we were the last ones standing. I have a feeling this morning that the problem of 12 to 20 percent unemployment is blame. I heard and saw volumes of what's wrong with the powers that be, and I woke with a strong sense that what is wrong is that we, people, allow ourselves to be used and don't stand up and take responsibility for what we hate about ourselves, about our lives.

Waterkeeper Alliance.
The
Save Our Gulf website has been established by Waterkeeper Alliance to coordinate the efforts of Gulf
Waterkeepers who are fighting to proctect the Gulf Coast. Please visit the website to learn how you can help.
Imagine the long term effects of this disaster, just because we don't see the devastation, like another disaster we see directly and react to immediately with an outpouring of money and love, doesn't mean it isn't as bad. As Einstein said, we need to expand our circle of compassion. -- Sophie
My Trip to The Gulf
Hey there people of the light, I've been on Baretaria bay with Dan Sinykin, his partner and Gigi collecting oil with his sheep wool. It worked amazingly well, although there was so much toxic dispersant in the water we were chasing clumps of gooey cake batter rather than laying it over a slick.
The dispersant smells like bathroom cleaner, and it's strange to sniff that odor in the middle of a beautiful bay. Why do the dolphins jump and play around our boats with so much crap in their water?
