To Iceland's Prime Minister, Fisheries Minister, and all members of the Icelandic government: "As citizens from around the world, we are horrified by the continuing whale hunt in Iceland. We urge you to use this opportunity to end whale hunting permanently, and to champion greater protection for whales worldwide." More information: It's sickening. They just shot her with an exploding harpoon,  hacked the foetus out of her, and trashed it.  She was just one of 125 endangered fin whales Icelandic millionaire Kristjan Loftsson killed this year. Fin whales are awe-inspiring -- capable of communicating through song, feeling love and deep emotional suffering.  Loftsson is the last man on the planet still slaughtering these gentle giants  for profit – often while they're pregnant.  But finally we can stop him.  Right now,  Iceland's new government is considering ending whaling,  but they could face a mountain of backlash from the tycoon and his whali...

How the NRA hijacks gun control debates The NRA is a gun manufacturing lobby, nothing more. They sell guns for kickbacks. How much money does the NRA get from gun manufacturers, directly and indirectly? The NRA is to gun industry what the Tobacco Institute was to tobacco industry. Given recent events, what’s next? The Asbestos Association?  So, how much money does the NRA get from Russia to destabilize the USA?  How much money did the Tobacco Institute get from Russia to poison the USA?  How much money will the Asbestos Association get from Russia to collapse the medical services of the USA?

Carlson has always been an American elite himself, even before he became a wealthy television commentator  ginning up fake bullshit  for people who have no problems to be mad about. The Fox host came from a family that was steeped in both money and power; he was  born  to a television anchor father who later became a banker and then the U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles. Carlson’s stepmother  is an heiress to the Swanson frozen food fortune .  

Being sentenced to a wheelchair is ultimately being sentenced to death. Wheelchair users die of complications of being in a wheelchair b/c doctors, Medicare, and others don’t realize or just don’t care ... b/c “the problem” solves itself that way. I am on my 2nd manual wheelchair. Each one was delivered in a box, UPS ... no measurements, no consultations, just a primary care doctor's script for a generic over-gloried handcart for a gimp, fulfilled by a Medicare provider. When I tried to go through a specialist to get "evaluated" for not just a powered wheelchair, but a STANDING power wheelchair, I was shot-down by the process. After endless doctor's appointments, vendor home-evaluations, PT evaluations, OT evaluations, etc., I was denied. A lot of time, energy, money, & other resources down the drain ... FOR NOTHING. They all hope I will be dead in a few year like my brother. He died of non-mobility, too.

I'm raising money for a Standing Power Wheelchair. https://www.facebook.com/donate/1872021056187962/?fundraiser_source=external_url
