From 8:30 until 9:30 p.m., people around the world are being asked to turn off all non-essential lights to raise awareness of environmental challenges and garner support for sustainable initiatives.

We all need a whole hell of lot more of these guys and whole lot less of the wall streeter gang

Family Tree


Many many years ago
when I was twenty three
I got married to a widow
who was pretty as could be

This widow had a grown up daughter
who had hair of red
my father fell in love with her
and soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son in law
and changed my very life
my daughter was my mother
for she was my fathers wife

To complicate the matters worse,
although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became
a brother in law to dad
and so became my uncle
though it made me very sad

For if he was my uncle
then that also made him brother
to the widow's grown up daughter
who, of course, was my step mother

Fathers wife then had a son
who kept them on the run
and he became my grandson
for he was my daughters son

My wife is now my mothers mother
and it makes me blue
because, although she is my wife
she is my grandmother too

If my wife is my grandmother
then I am her grandchild
and every time I think of it
it simply drives me wild

For now I have become
the strangest case you ever saw
as the husband of my grandmother
I am my own grandpa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometime, when you are feeling important
Sometime, when your ego's in bloom
Sometime, when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room

Sometime, when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow this simple instruction,
And see how it humbles your soul

Take a bucket and fill it with water
Put your hand in it, up to your wrist,
Pull it out, and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you'll be missed

You may splash all you please when you enter
You can stir up the water galore
But stop, and you'll find in a minute
That it looks quite the same as before

The moral in this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can
Be proud of yourself, but always remember

There is no such thing as an indispensable man

We got a bunch of impulsive middle school acting politicians running this country ...this is insanity

While the middle class gets hunted down and financially imprisoned for life over past due IRS accounts ...this is insanity
